高校3年の生徒なつさん(仮名)と最近起こったことについて会話しました。
Natsu
Good evening Nomura Sensei.
Toshi
Hello, Natsu
Natsu
I have a good news and a bad news to share with you. Which do you want first ?
Toshi
Give me the bad one first.
Natsu
I failed in the Eiken pre first grade test.
Toshi
Oh no. What a bummer.
But it sounds like you are not discouraged.
Natsu
I’m not, because I got a perfect score on the composition part.
Toshi
So that’s the good news you were going to tell me. Congrats!
Natsu
I’ll think of this as a step forward in my career.
Toshi
You deserve it! I’m proud of you, Natsu.
Natsu
Thank you, Toshi sensei.
Toshi
I remember you took part in the speech contest and got the first prize. How long ago was that?
Natsu
Three years ago. I was in a junior high.
Toshi
Since then I’ve had a feeling that you have this power of inspiring listeners and readers.
Natsu
I’ll take it as a compliment, Sensei. I thank you for your time to talk with me.
