Part B_2 Passage reading
Living in Alaska
When I was a college student, I came across a picture that changed my life. It was a photograph of the small Alaskan village of Shishmaref. I got interested in going to this tiny village. Since I knew no one in the village, I wrote a letter to the mayor of Shishmaref and requested that he introduce me to a family that might allow me to stay. Six months later, I got a reply inviting me to come.
I visited Shishmaref in 1973 and stayed with an Eskimo family for the summer. I had new experiences every day. While living in Alaska, I learned that people still go about their daily lives despite being so remote. It’s the same as what we do in Japan.
I spent two years working for a photographer after graduating from college. In 1978, I visited Alaska again. I planned to stay for five years or so, but I ended up living there for 18 years! People think it’s always winter there, but there are clear seasonal changes. Alaska has wonderful nature, which is why I like it so much.
