第６問
You are taking an English course at a university. Your teacher has provided
story and has asked you to read it and complete a worksheet.
[My Adventure Going to Toiura]
My name is Hiroki and I'm 10 years old. I'm from Shinayama City, which
is two hours away by super express train from Toiura, a small town where my
grandparents live. Last month, my dad asked me if I wanted to visit my
grandparents by myself this summer. I was really excited but also nervous; I
had never been on a trip by myself!
The day of my trip came. After we arrived at the station, I bought a box
of my favorite cookies for my grandparents. My parents then accompanied me
to the train and made sure I was sitting in the right place. My parents told
me to be careful of strangers before they left.
The tall buildings of Shinayama flashed by and suburban houses started to
appear, then rice fields took over. The train stopped and some passengers
got on. Suddenly, I heard, "Excuse me!"
I turned and saw a middle-aged woman pointing at the seat next to me. I
moved my backpack from the aisle seat. As she sat down, she spread her
arms and legs into the space I had occupied before. I retreated away from the
left armrest and shifted my body toward the window.
"Are you traveling alone?" she asked me. I nodded in reply. "Wow!
Where are you going?" I didn't know whether to respond because my parents
had told me to be cautious of strangers. So, I just said, "Toiura." The
woman's eyes widened. "Toiura! I have a friend living there! I love visiting
her." She started digging around in her bag.
I saw her pull out a box of fancy chocolates. "Would you like one?" she
asked. I was tempted to take one, but I remembered what my parents had told
me. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to go against my parents' wishes,
but I also thought it would be rude to refuse. I thought for a moment and
said, "No, thank you, ma'am." But she replied, "Oh, don't be shy! Help
yourself." I breathed in and said, "I really don't want any, but thank you for
asking."
The chocolate woman looked sad and softly said, "All right." For a
minute, there was an uncomfortable silence, then she took out her phone and
started tapping on it. The tension eased a little, but I felt I couldn't end the
conversation this way. So I said, "I'm sorry about the chocolate. I just can't
take one." "That's fine, dear," she said. "You've handled this situation in a
way that's beyond your age." After that, we sat in silence and enjoyed the
train ride.
"We are now arriving at Toiura station. We will be stopping for five
minutes," said the announcement. As the train pulled into the station, I could
see my grandparents waving. The chocolate woman asked me with surprise,
"Are those your grandparents?" When I said yes, she said, "How about that!
It's a small world!" Then she hurriedly began writing something on a piece of
paper. I stayed in my seat waving to my grandparents for a little bit; I wanted
to show them I was on the train by myself!
As I was leaving my seat, the woman handed me the box of chocolates
with a note on it. She said, "Please share this with Michiko, and tell her
I said hello. I don't want to interfere with your reunion." I wondered how
the chocolate woman knew my grandmother's name, but I really didn't have
time to ask her. I rushed off the train, and ran toward my grandparents on
the platform.
When I met them, I said, "I brought some cookies, and some chocolates
from a woman sitting next to me. Maybe we shouldn't eat them though,
because she's a stranger." As the train began to leave, we saw the chocolate
woman waving to us. "Junko!" my grandmother said. Then she looked at the
box of chocolates and read the note on it.
[Nana's Fancy Chocolates]
Dear Michiko,
It was pleasure to sit next to your grandson. I was impressed by him! Enjoy
these chocolates!
Junko
