LESSON 4  To the Land of the Peter Rabbit（本文シート）   配布日（　　　　　）

PART 1

1st of August/From Makoto to Paula/

Paula,

  I've seen a lot around London in one week.

Tomorrow I'll leave for the Lake District.  I asked the hotel clerk to give me the name of a good

hotel there.  Then I made a reservation by phone.

  I'm going to the Lake District because it is the home of Peter Rabbit.  I've loved the stories of Peter and his friends since I was a child.  I want to see their home with my own eyes.

  Looking forward to your reply.

Makoto

 

2nd of August/From Paula to Makoto/

Makoto,

  I visited England several years ago.  I enjoyed London a lot, but I missed the chance to go to the Lake District.  I hope you'll have a good time there.

  I hear the weather in that area is very changeable, so be sure to take an umbrella with you.  Say hello to Peter for me when you see him!

  Take care.

Paula

Paula,　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Unicorn ４−１�@

  This morning I took an InterCity train north toward Edinburgh.  The train left Euston Station at 9:30.  The train was almost full.  I was lucky because I found a seat.

  I sat next to an English girl whose name was Beth.  Soon she and I became friends.  We talked a lot and we exchanged e-mail addresses before I said good-bye to her at Oxenholme.

  From Oxenholme I took a local line to Windermere.  I arrived there about 1:30 and took a bus which was going to Bowness, near Lake Windermere.  My hotel is about one kilometer from Bowness.

  This country hotel is small and cozy.  I can see beautiful green hills and the lake out my window.

  Till tomorrow.

Makoto

 

3rd of August/From Paula to Makoto/

Makoto,

  I was surfing the Internet last night.  There were some pretty pictures of Hill Top and the Lake District.  I must go there some day.  Have fun!

Paula

 

PART 3

3rd of August/From Makoto to Paula/

Paula,

  This morning after breakfast, I walked to the ferry near Bowness.  The ferry took me across the lake and I walked up the road through the beautiful hills.

  After about 20 minutes, I left the road and walked across the wide, green fields.  The air was clean and cool.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Unicorn ４−１�A

  At Hill Top the house and its surroundings are kept just as they were when Beatrix Potter wrote her stories nearly 100 years ago.  Everything I saw, a bush or a tree, looked just like in her books.  When I looked at the house, Tom Kitten was walking out the front door!  In the gift shop, I bought a Peter Rabbit cup for my sister and a bag for my mother.  I'll send you one of the lovely cards I bought there.  I hope you'll like it.

  I had shepherd's pie for lunch in a village pub.  It was delicious.

PART 4

  After dinner at my hotel, most of the people stayed in the dining room to drink tea.  The atmosphere was warm and friendly.  We talked about things such as Beatrix Potter and her stories.

  I asked the owner of the hotel, "How has Potter's house and the Lake District been protected so well for so many years?"  He told me all about the National Trust ― a private organization to protect places of historic interest or natural beauty in Britain.  One thing I found interesting was the Trust's motto, "One pound from a million people rather than a million pounds from one."  He told me that Potter bought a lot of land and left all of it to the Trust.  But she asked the Trust to keep the land just as it was when she gave it.  Potter was a great woman, wasn't she?

  Looking forward to seeing you in September.

Makoto

5th of August/From Paula to Makoto/

Makoto,

  When you return, you can tell the class about the Lake District.  Protecting the environment is the topic for the next lesson.  Have a safe trip back home!

ポーラへ

　１週間でずいぶんとロンドンを見て回りました。

明日は，湖水地方へと出発します。ホテルの人に，湖水地方にあるよいホテルの名を教えてくれるよう頼み，電話で予約をしました。

　湖水地方に行くのは，そこがピーター・ラビットの故郷だからです。子供の頃から，ピーター・ラビットとその仲間たちの話が大好きです。彼らの故郷を自分の目で見てみたいと思います。

　お返事をお待ちしています。

マコトへ

　私は，数年前にイングランドを訪れました。ロンドンは楽しかったけれど，湖水地方へ行く機会はありませんでした。湖水地方で楽しく過ごせるといいですね。

　あの地方の天気は非常に変わりやすいと聞いていますので，傘を忘れずに持っていってください。ピーターに会ったら，よろしく伝えてね。

　では，お元気で。

　けさ，エディンバラ方面へ北上するインターシティーに乗りました。列車は，ユーストン駅を９時30分に出発しました。ほぼ満席でしたが，席が取れたので幸運でした。

　僕は，ベスという名のイギリス人の女の子の隣に座りました。彼女と僕はすぐに友だちになりました。話がはずんで，オクスンホウムで彼女と別れる前にＥメールのアドレスを交換しました。

　オクスンホウムから，ローカル線に乗ってウィンダミアに行きました。そこには１時30分頃到着し，それからウィンダミア湖近くのボウネスへ行くバスに乗りました。泊まったホテルはボウネスから約１キロのところにあります。

　このカントリーホテルは小さくて居心地がいいです。窓から，美しい緑の丘とウィンダミア湖が見えます。

　では，また明日。

　昨夜，インターネットであれこれ見ていたら，ヒルトップと湖水地方のきれいな写真がありました。いつか私もぜひ行かなくちゃ。楽しんできてください。

　けさ，朝食の後，ボウネス近くのフェリー乗り場まで歩いていきました。フェリーに乗って湖の対岸に渡り，美しい丘と丘とを通る道を登っていきました。

　20分くらい登って，その道から離れ，広い緑の野原を横切りました。空気は澄んでいて涼しかったです。

　ヒルトップでは，建物やその周囲は，100年近く前にビアトリクス・ポターが物語を書いたころのままにしてあります。１本の潅木や１本の木まで，見るものすべてが，彼女の本に出てくるそのもののようでした。家に目をやると，子猫のトムがちょうど玄関から出てくるところでした！ギフトショップで，妹(姉)にピーター・ラビットのカップを，母にバッグを買いました。先生には，ここで買った可愛い絵葉書のうちの１枚をお送りします。気に入っていただけるとうれしいです。

　村のパブで，お昼にシェパードパイを食べました。おいしかった。

 

PART 4

　僕のホテルでは夕食後，大半の人がダイニングルームにそのまま居残り，お茶を飲みました。温かく親しみやすい雰囲気でした。僕たちは，ビアトリクス・ポターや彼女が書いた物語などについて語り合いました。

　僕は，ホテルのオーナーに「どうやって，ポターの家や湖水地方をこんなにも長い間，ちゃんと保存してきたのですか」と尋ねました。すると彼は，イギリスの歴史的な名所や美しい自然を保護するための民間団体である，ナショナル・トラストについてあらゆることを教えてくれました。１つ興味深く思ったことは，トラストの「１人の人間から100万ポンドより，100万人から１ポンドを！」というモットーでした。彼は，ポターがたくさんの土地を買って，その土地のすべてをトラストに残したことを話してくれました。でも，彼女は，土地を譲渡した時のままの状態に保つようトラストに求めたのです。ポターは偉大な女性でしたね。

　９月に会えるのを楽しみにしています。

　帰国したら，クラスの皆に湖水地方のことについて話してください。環境保護が次の授業のトピックです。無事に戻って来てください。
