1-- Hi, I'm Ron from Hawaii. I'm here with Mari from Japan. Today we will be talking about abilities. So, Mari, are you a good cook?
2-- I like to cook, more specifically, I like to cook for people. I like to have people over and eat with people. I don't really like to eat alone, so I don't like to cook for myself. I like to cook for other people, but more than cooking I like to bake.
1-- Baking. What do you like to bake?
2-- Cookies and brownies and cake.
1-- That sounds very good. I would like to eat one of your brownies. OK, next, are you a good singer?
2-- I am terrible at singing. I don't like going to karaoke and I don't like to sing. I like music, but I can't sing for my life. I, yesterday, or I guess in class it was a students birthday and I made my students sing Happy Birthday but they wouldn't start so I had to start them off singing and my voice was so bad, they started laughing at me, so I'm just a terrible singer.
1-- That's funny. OK, next. Are you a good dancer?
2-- No, I'm not a good dancer. I can't dance at all. I used to when I was younger, my parents would enroll me in ballet classes, so I did ballet for six years but I am not very good at dancing.
1-- So, you're a teacher now right? So, were you a good student when you were a student?
2-- I was a good student because I'm a dork. No, yeah, I think I was a good student. I tried hard in all of my classes. I always did my homework. I was always focused and took notes during class. If I didn't understand something, I would either ask questions in class or speak to the teacher or professor after class. I always really liked learning and so I think that's why I was a really good student.
1-- And athletics? Were you a good athlete, and are you a good athlete now?
2-- That's a tricky question. I like sports, and I like playing sports. I don't think I'm a very good athlete, probably compared to you, I'm probably not, but I really enjoy playing sports. In high school, I played soccer. I ran cross-country. I played ice-hockey and a little bit of lacrosse.
1-- And which one was your favorite sport?
2-- My favorite sport was ice-hockey.
1-- Interesting.

譯文:
1-- 嗨,我是來自夏威夷的Ron。這是來自日本的Mari。今天我們討論的話題叫能力。Mari,你很會做飯嗎?
2--我喜歡做飯,更具體地說是給人做飯。我喜歡大家聚在一起吃飯。我不喜歡一個人吃飯。因此我不喜歡一個人做飯,喜歡給別人做飯。但是和做飯相比,我較喜歡烘烤。
1-- 烘烤。你喜歡烘什么???
2--餅干,巧克力和蛋糕。
1--聽起來很好。我想吃塊你烤的餅干。接下來,你是個唱歌好聽的歌手嗎?
2--我唱歌很糟糕。我不喜歡去卡拉OK里唱歌。我喜歡音樂,但我唱歌要命。我想想啊,昨天,有個學(xué)生過生日,為了愉悅我學(xué)生,我們唱生日快樂歌。但是他們都不起唱,我只好帶頭唱歌,我的嗓音太差了,他們開始笑。所以我唱歌很糟糕。
1--挺有趣的,下一個,你是個好的舞者嗎?
2--不,我不是個好的舞者,根本就不會跳。我過去小時候,父母讓我報名參加了一個芭蕾舞班,學(xué)了六年的芭蕾舞。但是我不是很擅長舞蹈。
1--因此,你現(xiàn)在是個老師?你讀書時,是個好學(xué)生嗎?
2--我是個好學(xué)生,因為我是個書呆子。不,是我認(rèn)為我是個好學(xué)生。我沒門功課都很用功。經(jīng)常做作業(yè),上課也很認(rèn)真的聽講記筆記。若遇到不懂的地方,我要么課堂上舉手提問,要么課后問老師或教授。我一直都很喜歡學(xué)習(xí),這就是我為什么說自己是個好學(xué)生。
1--體育呢?你以前是個好的體育運(yùn)動員嗎?現(xiàn)在呢?
2--這個問題很棘手啊,我喜歡運(yùn)動,愛做運(yùn)動。我認(rèn)為我不是個好運(yùn)動員,可能和你相比,我不是。但是我真的很喜歡運(yùn)動。高中時,我踢足球,跨界跑。我打曲棍球,長曲棍球。
1--哪一個是你的最愛呢?
2--我最愛曲棍球。
1--很有趣。
