英語ストーリー(english story)
Title: Life in a Northern Town
Tom is a high school student who lives in a small northern town in Canada. The town is surrounded by boreal forests and is known for its beautiful northern lights. Winter in the northern region is long and very cold, but Tom loves the polar air and the quiet atmosphere.
His father works at the northern border, checking trucks that come from the southern part of the country. “People from the south often say our town is too cold,” his dad says with a smile. “But I enjoy the cold and northern life.”
Every morning, Tom walks to school in a strong northern wind, wearing a thick coat and boots. He dreams of becoming a scientist to study the arctic animals that live in the far north.
One day, Tom’s class takes a trip to a northern city to visit a science museum. There, he learns about the differences between tropical and polar climates. He also sees a big model of a polar bear and reads about boreal forests.
Tom decides that in the future, he wants to help protect the northern environment. “It may be cold here,” he says, “but this place is my home.”
