 四小のまわりは，どうなっているか，調(しら)べましょう。 | Let's find out what the area around No. 4 Elementary is like. |
| 住宅地(じゅうたくち)が広がり，「瑞穂アパート」という大きな団地もあります。公園もたくさんありますが，中でも松原中央公園(まつばらちゅうおうこうえん)は大きく，有名(ゆうめい)です。 | A residential area expands around the school and there is also the Mizuho Apartments housing complex. Although there are a lot of parks as well, of these, Matsubara Central Park is the largest and most famous. |
| 国道16号の東側(がわ)には，いろいろな工場が集まっています。小さな工場もたくさんあります。 | There is a concentration of various factories on the east side of National Route 16. There are also a lot of small factories as well. |
| 米軍(ぐん)の横田基地(よこたきち)が，すぐそばにあります。飛行機(ひこうき)の爆音(ばくおん)で，友だちの話し声も聞こえなくなってしまうことが，一日に何度もあります。 | The U.S. military Yokota Air Base is right nearby as well. The sound of the planes is so loud there are many times in the day that you can't hear what your friends are saying to you. |
