みなさん、おはようございます！

 

昨日から2週目に入りましたが、

先週に比べると、少し質問が減りました。

質問が多ければ良いとは言い切れませんが、

誰も見ておらず、すぐにはテストがないと

想いながら家で勉強していると、

内容をあいまいにしがちです。

 

先週は、かなりたくさん質問が来ていましたので、

遠慮せずに少しでもわからないものは、

ぜひ、積極的に質問してくださいね！

 

では、今日も朝9時開始、

報告のメールを忘れずに、

見られていると思って頑張ってくださいね♪

 

英検の方々は、対応演習のプリントを

今週で覚えられるように繰り返しましょう☆

高校生英語　休講期間中の課題⑦～4月21日用～

 

●次の英文を読んで、あとの問いに答えなさい。
When Koichi Wakata was five years old, ※Apollo 11 landed on the moon. He ※dreamed of becoming an ※astronaut. Twenty-seven years later, he ※made his first trip into space.
Wakata：

Every time I go into space, I discover my love for the earth. I have been in space on the International Space Station (ISS) three times. It ※goes around the earth 400 kilometers above us. It ※takes 90 minutes to fly around the earth. For 45 minutes you see the day ※view, and then in the next 45 minutes you see the night view. It is very dark at night. The stars are shining, and the ※Milky Way ※stretches ※on and on. Our blue ※planet Earth looks like an ※oasis in the ※vastness of space.

You can see ※images of the earth from space on TV and computers. But those images are very different from the real view of the earth from space. You can clearly see the oceans, the clouds, the mountains, and the rivers. You can even ※identify Japan by its shape. I feel so lucky to have a beautiful home planet.

Astronauts from different countries eat together every day. That gives us the chance to enjoy many different space foods, but eating ※without the help of ※gravity is a problem. When you eat senbei, you must be careful because it flies everywhere. When you eat soup, you must use a ※straw.

In space, you cannot ※take a bath； you simply ※wipe your body with a cloth. You sleep in your own room, but it is very small. ※All in all, life in space is very ※comfortable.

We are very busy with ※scientific ※experiments. However, we also have time for some other experiments. I tried ※arm wrestling with a Canadian astronaut. ※To our surprise, both our bodies started to ※spin around. In another experiment, I tried writing with a ※brush. I used too much ink, but it didn’t ※drip. My favorite experiment was the “magic carpet.” I put tape on my feet to ※stick to a carpet. It ※worked like magic. I was flying in space!

In 2013, I was on the ISS for my third time. I was asked to be the ※commander of the ISS. As commander, my job was to ※see that we all lived ※in peace. There were astronauts from America, Russia, and ※Latvia. There was also ※Kirobo, the Japanese-speaking ※robot. We all had to work together, talk together, and live in a very ※crowded space for 188 days. I had only one rule—we had to have dinner together as much as ※possible. It was an important time to feel ※relaxed and to talk about the day’s work and ※training.

One final word. Going into space is a ※frightening experience. There are many dangers. You may wonder why I go into space. I do it because it is a ※challenge and because it is important for ※humanity. Astronauts from around the world are working together. Through this experience, I have ※come to ※believe in our common humanity as ※citizens of the earth. Remember that each one of us is a ※crew member of ※Spaceship Earth.
