Mari: I'm Mari from Japan and I'm here with Ron from Hawaii. Today we are going to be talking about abilities so let's start with food. Can you cook?

Ron: I can't cook well, but I do cook, so I think the reason why I can't cook well is because I can eat anything, so I don't try very hard to make it take good.

 

Mari: What do you like to cook?

 

Ron: I like to barbecue¹ outside on the grill².

 

Mari: What do you put on your barbecue?

 

Ron: When I cook meat, I don't put much, only salt, pepper³, and a little bit of seasoning⁴.

 

Mari: OK. Good. Next, do you think you're a good dancer?

 

Ron: No, I don't think I'm a good dancer and I don't really try to be a good dancer.

 

Mari: Do you not like to dance?

 

Ron: No, I don't like to dance.

 

Mari: At all?

 

Ron: Right.

 

Mari: I heard that you're a good line dancer.

 

Ron: I would like to learn how to line dance, and I do like country music but I haven't been officially taught how to line dance.

 

Mari: So you don't dance at all?

 

Ron: No.

 

Mari: Next, are you a good singer?

 

Ron: No, I'm not a good singer but I do enjoy going to Karaoke⁵.

 

Mari: What do you like to sing?

 

Ron: In Hawaii, when I go to Karaoke I enjoy singing Hawaiian music. If I'm in Japan I like to sing other English songs that they have, usually country music or 80's or 90's music.

 

Mari: Good. That's good. Do you think you're a good student?

 

Ron: I don't know if I'm a good student. Growing up I was not a good student but now I am trying harder to be a good student.

 

Mari: How were you not a good student growing up?

 

Ron: I didn't enjoy going to school and I didn't try very hard in school. Now I try a little harder. I make an effort⁶.

 

Mari: Can you talk more about your effort? What do you do to try to be a good student?

 

Ron: I try to listen to the teachers now instead of doing my own thing, and I try to complete everything with good quality⁷.

 

Mari: That's good. And, last do you think that you're a good athlete?

 

Ron: Growing up I was a good athlete. I played a few sports. Now I don't play any sports anymore because I'm old, but growing up I think I was a good athlete.

 

Mari: What sports did you play?

 

Ron: I played American football, baseball, and soccer.

 

Mari: Which one is your best sport?

 

Ron: I would say football. American football is my best sport.

 

Mari: How long did you play?

 

Ron: I played since I was eleven until age twenty-two.

 

Mari: So for eleven years. And you played when you were in university?

 

Ron: I played at the University of Hawaii.
