World Penguin Day · Worksheet 1
Read the story. 英文を読もう。
1Every year in late April, something special happens in Antarctica. Near McMurdo Station, a research base, groups of Adélie penguins appear. They are walking to the sea after raising their chicks. Some of them walk and swim more than 13,000 kilometers in a year. People say the scientists there started to celebrate this day. That is how World Penguin Day began.
2There are about 18 kinds of penguins. The biggest is the emperor penguin. It is about 1.1 meters tall and can dive about 550 meters into the sea. The smallest is the little penguin. It weighs only about 1.2 kilograms, less than a big bottle of water.
3Many people think all penguins live on the ice. But that is not true. Some live on warm beaches in Africa, Australia, and South America. The Galápagos penguin lives near the equator, where it is hot. And no penguins live at the North Pole. Their black backs and white fronts help them hide in the water.
4Today, many penguins are in danger. Eleven of the 18 kinds may disappear in the future. Some cannot find enough fish to eat. On World Penguin Day, zoos and aquariums teach visitors about these problems. Japan has many penguins, too. People say one in four penguins in zoos and aquariums lives in Japan. So next time you see a penguin, remember its long trip and its hard life.
