| Koji: |
I've studied English for six months now. But it's a disaster!
|
| Tim: |
I don't really think so, Koji. Don't you feel you're improving? |
| Koji: |
No, not at all. That's right. Studying English used to be fun at first. But now, there are so many pieces of vocabulary that I have to remember.
|
| Tim: |
Yeah. For me there are too many Japanese words that I have to remember. I learn new words by writing them on pieces of paper and putting them on my bedroom wall. |
| Koji: |
And you look at them every night before going to bed?
|
| Tim: |
You said it!
|
| Koji: |
That sounds like a good idea. I'm excited about it, now. |
| Tim: |
You just need to keep looking for some interesting ways to study.
|
| Koji: |
Thanks, Tim. By the way, you wanted to talk about you and Mari's relationship, right?
|
| Tim: |
I think I just found the secret of keeping our relationship going.
|
| Koji: |
One way of keeping your relationship going is by looking for some interesting things to do together.
|
| Tim: |
I was going to tell you that!

コウジ: |
もう6ヶ月も英語を勉強しているけど、ほんとに悲惨なんだよ! |
| ティム: |
そんなことないと思うけどな、コウジ。ぜんぜん進歩していない感じ? |
| コウジ: |
全然だよ。英語を勉強するのは最初は楽しかったんだよ。でも、今は覚えなくちゃいけない単語が沢山あるんだ。 |
| ティム: |
うん。僕の場合は覚えなくちゃいけない日本語の単語が沢山だよ。僕は新しい単語は紙に書いて、寝室の壁に貼って覚えるんだ。 |
| コウジ: |
それで、毎晩寝る前に見るってこと? |
|
|
ティム:
|
そうそう! |
| コウジ: |
それっていいアイディアだよね。なんだかやる気が出てきたよ。 |
| ティム: |
いつも面白い勉強方法を考えるようにすることが大切なんだ。 |
| コウジ: |
ありがとう、ティム。ところで、マリとの関係について話したいって言ってたよね。 |
| ティム: |
なんとなく、いい関係を保つ秘訣がわかった気がするよ。 |
| コウジ: |
いい関係を保つ、一つの方法は、何か一緒にできる楽しいことを探すことかな。 |
| ティム: |
それを言おうと思ったのに、先を越されちゃったよ! |
