    Translation is the communication of the meaning of a source-language text by means of an equivalent target-language text.

    romanisation is not translation.

    It looks like Alex and Ishida are getting into a fight. And things escalates after Ishida kicks Alex out into another class room.

    The idea is for you, OP, to study the lesson, learn the vocabulary, and do the practice. That's how you learn. Having us translate it is utterly pointless.

    I've had a look at the site you linked. The conversation you quoted is relatively good, but the ones in Lesson 2 and 3 are rather awkward and have grammatical errors. I don't recommend to use the site, I'm afraid.

    Do you know any other sites that are good for learning Japanese that you can recommend?
