【前回の課題解答】★★★

Billは同僚のDanに、週末に行ったLong Beach Aquariumについて話しています。
今週も男同士の会話です。

Bill: We went and checked out the Long Beach Aquarium and even though I’ve been there a thousand times that place never gets old.
ロングビーチの水族館に行ってきたよ。この水族館には何度も行ったけどいつ行っても見飽きたりしないよ。

Dan: I’m with you on that. I’m a regular too. Every once in a while I’ll throw everybody in the car and we will head over there.
僕もそう思うよ。僕も常連なんだ。時々家族を車に乗せて水族館に行くんだよ。

Bill: That frog thing was kind of a joke. We couldn’t see any frogs there and these suckers really know how to hide.
あのカエルは冗談みたいだよ。カエルなんて見えないし、あのカエル達は本当に隠れるのが上手いよね。

Dan: Oh those tiny frogs? I haven’t seen them yet but now you gave me an excuse to run down there this weekend.
ああ～あの小さいカエルね。僕はまだ見てないけど、今週末に行く理由が見つかったよ。

Bill: Well enjoy. Whatever it is you will have a blast.
楽しんで 。どっちにしても楽しめるよ。

【今回の課題】★★★★

Billは隣人のJakeに、道路工事について話しています。
今週も男同士の会話です。

Jake: Hey Billy, why are the side streets around here such a rat race? Normally it is smooth sailing.

Bill: You got that right. They are tearing up the streets nearby so everybody is going through here. What a nightmare!

Jake: How long will this carp be going to last? I hope not too much longer.

Bill: It should be wrapped up in a few more days so just bare with it.

Jake: What choice do I have so I’ll just act like this doesn’t exists and before you know it, it will be over.

Bill: That’s a good sport and say do you want to go to Starbucks?
