Grandfather ： Hi, Sam! Thanks for coming. I’m glad to see you.
Sam： Hello, Grandpa. I’m glad to see you, too. Oh, you still have your favorite chair.
Grandfather ： Yes, I do. I like this chair ver y much.
Sam： Wow! That’s a long time.
Grandfather ： I made it by myself.
Sam： Really? How did you do that?
Grandfather ： It wasn’t so hard. When I was young, I didn’t have enough money to buy new wood.
I had to look（ ⓐ ）for old wood. At that time, a new school was built, but not all
the wood was used. There were a lot of scraps that were left over there. So I usedthose.
Sam： I see. They didn’t want the small pieces, so you used them.
Grandfather ： Yes. Nothing was wasted.
Sam：

Today most people just buy their things.

Grandfather ： Yes, that’s true. And they usually don’t last ver y long.
Sam： Right.
‌My desk at home broke after only three years. Do you know why manythings people buy at stores don’t last ver y long?
Grandfather ： I‌ know one reason. Things aren’t made carefully. When you make something
yourself, you do it ver y carefully.
Sam： Because it will be yours.
Grandfather ： ‌Right. Or sometimes you make something for someone else, a friend or your family
member.
Sam： And you care about them.
Grandfather ： So you do your best.
Sam：

Grandfather ： Also, something you make by yourself is the only one thing. It’s ver y（ ⓑ ）.
Sam： ‌Maybe that’s right. Today people often just throw things away. People don’t often
make things themselves. So their things are not special or important for them.
Things they made carefully by themselves will last long.
‌so. Here’s another reason. People don’t take care of things. When you
Grandfather ： Maybefinish making something, you take care of it, because you want to keep it for a longtime. You are proud of it.
Sam： That must be a good feeling.
Grandfather ： Also, you are proud of yourself because you made it all by yourself.
Sam： I want to make my own desk.
Grandfather ： Do you want to make a new one?
Sam： Yes, but I don’t think I can.
Grandfather ： I will［ ア make イ show ウ to エ you オ how ］a desk. It’s not so hard.

次の英文は，アメリカの中学生のダニエル（Daniel）が母親にあてて書いた手紙である。この英文を読んで，⑴～⑹の問いに答えなさい。

Dear Mom,
Thank you ver y much for your letter. It was great to hear about our hometown, and I am glad thatyou and Dad are doing well. I am having a ver y good time with my classmates and teachers. I have
many new friends now.
Last week my class went to the garbage dump. I was surprised! When we arrived there, the smell
was ver y bad and there was garbage all over the place. Many birds were ⓐ（eat）the garbage. There
were even some cats and dogs. All the animals were ver y dirty.
Also, there were cans, plastic bottles, and all kinds of garbage together in the same place. When I saw
it, I was more surprised. Why weren’t they separated? I asked my teacher. He said, “There are nolaws about separating garbage in this town. People can dump ever ything in the same place.”
I thought about his words. It is easy to dump ever ything without separating it. But if we separate
the garbage according to materials, we can recycle them. I remember the law about separating
garbage in our hometown. You said to me, “Separate the garbage into four kinds.” It was hard atfirst, but now it’s not so hard. I think recycling is ver y good for the environment, so I told my teacher
about it. He said, “We should make a recycling plan for our school.” I thought this was a great idea,
and we started to make a plan. For our school, we are going to buy garbage cans in different colors
and put names on the cans. The students can learn to start recycling at school. Don’t you think it’s agood idea?
It is a good start. But I think that the students at my school should understand more about theenvironment and recycling. I want to help them. I talked to my teacher about it. We talked a lot
and decided to go to the principal to talk about doing something more. The principal didn’t agreewith us at first. But my teacher said, “We won’t need any money for it. We will finish the plan withthe help of volunteers from our school! Our plan is to pick up garbage around our town and separate
it all. We may need the help of people in the town, too. After we separate all the garbage, I will take itto the different recycling centers in my car.” The principal said, “It’s a great idea! You should tr y to
do it once a month.”
We are going to start finding volunteers tomorrow. How many people will join us as volunteers?
I am ver y ner vous about it. If they don’t think the same way as me, maybe they won’t help. After all,it is much ⓑ（easy）to dump ever ything in the same place without separating it. Wish me luck!
OK. Mom, I have to go now. If you have any ideas about recycling or finding volunteers, please letme know. Write back soon! Take care!
