【前回の課題解答】★★★★★

Billは友人の同僚のDonと３連休の話しをしています。

Bill: My son caught me off guard yesterday because out of nowhere he just swung by the house just to have a few beers.
昨日は息子にビックリさせられたよ。ビールを飲みに、突然家に顔だしてくれてね。

Don: That’s nice because with everyone is on the run these days. We just miss the timing and before you know it a month goes by.
いいことだよ、最近は誰も忙しいからね。タイミングがずれてしまうとあっという間に１ヶ月過ぎてしまっているから。

Bill: Right, he gave me a hand around the house and we took in a game on TV. By the way it was a real nail bitter one. We were screaming at the TV like a couple of idiots.
その通り、息子は家の用事を手伝ってくれたよ。その後一緒にテレビで（バスケの）試合を観戦したんだよ、その試合は本当にハラハラドキドキさせられてね。
テレビに向かってバカみたいに親子二人で叫んだりしてさ。

Don: Maybe I should give my son a call and see if he would like to stop by.
僕も息子に電話して、顔出すように聞いてみようかな。

Bill: I hope it all works out for you because money can’t buy days like that.
来てくれるといいね、だってこういう日々はお金では買えないからさ。

【今回の課題】★★★★

Billは昔からの友人Robertと自分の誕生日の話しをしています。

Robert: Hey old timer, it’s your B-day tomorrow and just think you can now get senior citizen discounts.

Bill: Get out of here. I’m still a young spring chicken and for your information I think I’m in pretty good shape.

Robert: I’m just pulling your leg and yes, I know you put a lot of work in to keep up looking good.

Bill: Why thanks I never thought I would hear that coming from you.

Robert: So, any B-day plans for this special day or are you just ?

Bill: Well, we do have a family dinner that ‘s always a blast but for the most part it’s just another day.
