Nancy:

Let’s choose a proverb to introduce to our new classmate from India. Do you know any good proverbs, Ayaka?

Ayaka:

Well, Nancy, I think “Practice makes perfect” is a good proverb.

Nancy:

What does it mean?

Ayaka:

It means that you should do it many times, and you will be good at it.

Nancy:

Oh, I see. How about you, Daisuke?

Daisuke:

I think “The early bird catches the worm” is a good one. It means that you will be lucky if you get up early.

Nancy:

Oh, really? I think that is a useful proverb for high school students in Japan. When I get up early, I don’t have to get on the crowded trains.
