Lesson 153 I’m going to help with snow removal
朝のジョギングに行こうと2階からリビングに下りてきた翔は、父の直樹に挨拶します。
I’m going to help with snow removal
Sho: Hi, Dad. You’re up early today.
Naoki: Good morning, Sho. I’m going to help with snow removal. There isn’t much snow on our roof, but houses near the mountain have much more snow on their rooftops than ours. And that needs to be removed as soon as possible.
Sho: Why don’t you look for volunteers?
Naoki: Because you need experience to safely remove snow from rooftops. Many people think snow is light, but it’s actually very heavy.
Sho: You know, David told me some towns have events to learn about snow removal.
Naoki: Good idea. We can try it next year.
Sho: Make sure everyone gets to eat afterwards. Anyway, I’m going running. Take care, Dad.
Naoki: You too, Sho.
