Lesson 148 I got to try harder!
放課後、校舎を出ようとした翔は、体操着姿の陽太を見かけ、声を掛けます。
I got to try harder!
Sho: Why are you wearing your gym clothes, Yota?
Yota: I’m going to start physical training from today. My high school has a strong soccer team, which means I’ll have a lot of rivals. I’m going to train harder than anyone in my school so I can be a first-string player from my first year.
Sho: I’m sure you can do it.
Yota: How are your studies coming along?
Sho: I study early in the morning, since my exams will be in the morning, too.
Yota: Are you still running?
Sho: Of course. It’s an important part of my life. But I’m running shorter distances now.
Yota: OK, time for practice. See you tomorrow, Sho!
Sho: See you tomorrow! OK! I got to try harder!
僕ももっと頑張るぞ！
