札幌雪祭り

みなさんこんにちは、美樹のブログです。
毎日寒い日が続いていますね。
みなさんの国にはもう雪は降りましたか？
雪が降るととても寒いし、電車が止まったりして困りますが、私は雪が降るとわくわくします。
毎年、東京にはあまり雪は降りませんが、日本の北にある北海道には毎年たくさんの雪が降ります。冬の北海道はとても寒いですが、「さっぽろ雪祭り」に一度は行ってみたいと思っています。「さっぽろ雪祭り」は北海道で行われる最も大規模なイベントの一つで、国内外から２００万人程の人が訪れます。このイベントでは氷や雪のオブジェが作られます。大きいもので幅４０メートル、小さいものは２メートル四方と大きさは様々です。
&lt;S1!&gt;オブジェはその年の流行や出来事をテーマにしているものもあり、遊び心があって楽しいです。
夜になると雪と氷のオブジェはライトアップされて、昼間よりもずっときれいになります。

このイベントを行うために、札幌にはきれいな白い雪が５トントラックで６０００台分も運ばれてきます。２００７年は雪不足のため、自衛隊がヘリコプターで山から雪を運んできました。雪が少なかったのは温暖化の影響でしょうか。

今年、さっぽろ雪祭りは２月５日から１１日まで開催されます。
みなさんの国の冬のお祭りを教えてください。

それでは、また来週！

Hello everyone.  This is Miki's blog!

Ever day is quite cold these days, isn't it?
Has snow fallen in your country yet?
When it is falling snow, it gets very cold and we will be in trouble for the trains will stop.  Nevertheless, I get very excited when it is falling snow.
Every year, it doesn't snow much in Tokyo, but Hokkaido, a place North of Japan, a lot of snow falls each year.  Although winter in Sapporo is very cold, I wish that I can go to &quot;Sapporo Snow Festival&quot; at least once.  &quot;Sapporo Snow Festival&quot; is one of the biggest event that is held in Sapporo, and about 2 million people all over the world visit this event.  In this event, statues are made from snow and ice.  The sizes are varied; the largest one has 40 meter in width, and the smallest one has 2 square meters.
Some of the statues are based on the popular thing and events that happened within the year.  It is both creative and fun.  In the evening, the snow and ice statues are illuminated, and are much more beautiful than afternoon.

In order to hold this event, beautiful white snow is carried to Sapporo using 6000 5-ton truck.  In 2007, due to lack of snow, the national defense army had to  transport snow from the mountain using helicopters.  Maybe the reason there was a little snow is because of global warming. 

This year, the Sapporo Snow Festival will be held from February fifth till the 11th.  
Please tell me about your country's winter festival.

I'll talk to you next week!
