あるクラスで遠足について生徒の希望を集計したところ,野外炊事(やがいすいじ・having
a cookout)と動物園見学(going to the zoo)が候補にあがりました。次の英文は,まその結果をもとに,クラスの旅行係4人が担任の浜(はま)先生とともに話し合っている場面です。
この英文を読んで,あとの(ア),(イ)の問いに答えなさい。 |
| Mr.Hama |
: |
All right . Some students in our class want
to have a cookout , and others want to go
to the zoo . We have to ※choose one between these two . Ryo , do you
have something to say ? |
| Ryo |
: |
Yes . Having a cookout may be a good idea
, but many of us want to do something we
have never tried . Cooking is not new to
us . We learn cooking at school . |
| Jun |
: |
It's not just cooking . It's cookingOUT .
That's something many of us have never tried
. It'll be fun . We'll cook lunch together
, and later we can play games or walk around
in the ※woods . Zoos are interesting , but many of
us have been to a zoo . A cookout is new
to many of us . And .... |
| Aya |
: |
But the zoo that was built in our city last
year is very different . The animals are
not ※kept in ※cages . I think everyone will enjoy watching
them and learning a lot about ammals . |
| Ken |
: |
Many of my friends have already been to that
zoo . I think many of us have seen those
animals . |
| Ryo |
: |
That may be true , but they've been there
with their families . Going to a place with
your family and going there with your friends
is different . And it's very important to
learn about animals and ※nature . Talking is also very important .
We can talk a lot about the different animals
. You ※get to know your friends better when you
talk with them . |
| Ken |
: |
That's true . But if we go to the zoo , we'll
walk arould in small ※groups and talk with only a few people .
While we're cooking , we will work together
, help each other , and talk about the food
and other things . We'll understand each
other better if we work together . We don't
know each other very well , so ※making friends is the most important thing
for ths trip . |
| Aya |
: |
0 . K . I thilk you're right . But what's
going to happen if it rains ? We can't cook
in the rain . |
| Jun |
: |
Don't worry . The park has many ※covered areas . And if it rains , the animals
in the zoo won't come out , and we won't
be able to see them . |
| Ryo |
: |
Maybe you're right . 0 .K . Let's go to the
park and have a cook out . |
| Mr.Hama |
: |
0 . K . We'll have a cookout . I'll talk
with the other teachers . Now
, let's talk
about some other things . |
