What do you do in winter

RYAN: I’m so happy this week of midterm exams is finished.
TYLER: Same here. I’m looking forward to relaxing in the mountains 
this weekend. I’ve planned a little hike in the woods. 
And I’m gonna take a canoe trip down the river if the 
weather cooperates.
RYAN: Oh, fun! I’m going to Michigan. I’m taking my camera 
because fall is coming fast. The leaves are already turning 
all shades of red and orange. It will be awesome.
TYLER: Next time you go there, I’ll join you. I’ve heard Michigan is a 
great place to go canoeing


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Midterm Students at universities in the United States often take exams midsemester, 
around October or March of every year. These exams are called midterms. Exams at the 
end of the semester are called finals or final exams and are usually in May.
• Gonna is a colloquial form of “I’m going to.” Other similar constructions include 
“wanna” [want to] or “hafta” [have to]. These are examples of transcriptions of spoken 
English and should not be used in a formal context. Some of these examples are now 
seen in text messages as a means of shortening sentences.
• Awesome: is a colloquial way of saying “excellent,” “cool,” “great.” Last night’s rock 
concert was awesome

Day 28: Hobby

こんにちは！Atsushiです。

今日の天気は雨。
今の気温は23℃。朝なので少し肌寒いです。

今日は北海道について紹介(しょうかい)します。



北海道の面積は、83,500㎢
人口は、516万人

道の木はエゾマツ、アカエゾマツ、
道の花はハマナス、
道の鳥はタンチョウです。

47都道府県中で唯一「道」という呼び方の場所です。
「都道府県の魅力度ランキング」で2021年では、全国で1位です。観光に行きたい場所でも1位、住みたい場所でも全国で3位と、人気がある場所です。

北海道には、アイヌという民族がいました。日本人（和人）は古代には渡嶋（わたりのしま）、近代に至るまでアイヌを蝦夷（えぞ)と呼んでいました。そして、この土地は蝦夷地（えぞち）などとよばれていました。

1869年（明治2年）、蝦夷地という名前から「北海道」とすることが決まりました。

今では、札幌市が1番人口が多くて、190万人が住んでいます。夏には観光、冬にはウインタースポーツもでき、2月には雪まつりもあります。

みなさんの北海道で好きなところがあれば、教えてくださいね。これから、少しずつ、47都道府県の紹介もしていきます。


ぜひ、日本語のレッスンで一緒にお話しましょう！
それではまた！
