What is university like? |
You’re in junior high school now, aren’t you, Lain? |
So if you’re in junior high and want to keep studying, you go to high school, right? |
University is where people go if they want to keep studying after high school. |
Do you like to study, Sensei? |
I didn’t used to. |
But I went to America as an exchange student when I was in junior high school, and I started to feel differently then. |
You were an exchange student. Wow! |
At the time, I just went because my parents wanted me to. |
But people have different ways of seeing things in other countries, and I learned a lot from that. |
Looking back, it was a lot of work, and I was very nervous at first, but now I’m really grateful that I was able to be an exchange student. |
I learned English, too. |
That’s amazing, Touko-sensei! |
Oh, it’s not so amazing. |
There are lots of people who have studied much more than I have. |
No matter how you put it, I'm a really lazy person |
I liked to fool around, really. |
It’s boring to just study, isn’t it? |
Do you like to study, Lain? |
Not really. |
What subjects don’t you like? |
Japanese and physical education. |
I see. So you don’t like exercise. |
No, I don’t like physical education. |
You like exercise, then? |
Yes. |
What kind of exercise do you like? |
The metal beam. |
Wow! |
I used to like running, but I was never good at the metal beam. |
I would spin around and get too dizzy. |
I like to spin around. |
Both frontwards and backwards? |
Yes, both. |
What don’t you like? |
You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to. |
But, what kind of study do you like? |
I'm sorry. |
Are you tired? |
Why don't we end early today? |
