Ｚ会公式の2026年版カタログにはStage 2 Further Reading 2でアメリア・イアハートの伝記が掲載されています。本記事は共通の題材で慶英会が独自に書いた英文であり、教科書本文・出版社の問題の転載ではありません。実際の飛行年と機体の情報はスミソニアン国立航空宇宙博物館の公開情報を参照し、二つ目の英文に出てくる学校・生徒は架空の設定です。
アメリア・イアハートの年表
- 1897年：米国カンザス州で誕生。
- 1928年：女性として初めて飛行機で大西洋を横断。乗客であって単独操縦ではない。
- 1932年5月20～21日：女性として初めて単独・無着陸で大西洋を横断。史上ではチャールズ・リンドバーグに続く2人目。
- 1932年8月：女性初の米国横断・単独無着陸飛行の記録。
- 1937年7月2日：世界一周飛行の挑戦中、航法士フレッド・ヌーナンとともに消息を絶った。
記録の確認にはスミソニアン国立航空宇宙博物館のLockheed Vega 5B解説と同博物館のイアハート伝記関連資料を参照しました。
first womanとfirst personを間違えない
She was the first woman to fly solo and nonstop across the Atlantic. は女性初という意味です。She was the first person … とすると史上初になり、事実と異なります。また1928年のas a passengerと1932年のsolo and nonstopを一つの出来事と混同してはいけません。
soloとnonstopは違う条件
soloは単独で、nonstopは途中で着陸・停止せずに飛んだことを表します。一人で飛んだことと、途中で止まらず飛んだことは別の条件です。Readの内容一致や要約では、この二つを省くと正確な記録になりません。
1937年の消息不明を断定的に説明しない
1937年の飛行については消息不明となった日時とルートなどが記録されていますが、最期の詳しい経緯を確定することには慎重でなければなりません。英語の作文ではdisappearedと書ける一方、証拠のない原因を事実として付け足さないようにします。

Read 1｜The Difference Between Two Famous Flights（約363語）
スミソニアンの記録を参考に独自に書いた英語伝記です。
Amelia Earhart was an American pilot whose flights helped change public expectations about women in aviation. The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum records that she was born in Kansas in 1897. Before discussing her most famous achievements, readers should notice that the word ‘first’ needs a clear description of exactly what was done. Two flights across the Atlantic, in 1928 and in 1932, are often confused.
In 1928, Earhart became the first woman to cross the Atlantic by airplane as a passenger. She travelled across the ocean, but she did not fly the airplane alone. That distinction is important: participating in a journey and piloting an aircraft are not the same action. When a biography leaves out the phrase ‘as a passenger’, a reader might incorrectly believe that she flew by herself.
On May 20 and 21, 1932, she made a different kind of crossing. Flying a red Lockheed Vega 5B, she crossed the Atlantic solo and nonstop. She left Newfoundland in Canada and landed in Northern Ireland about fifteen hours later. Earhart was the first woman to complete that particular flight, and the second person after Charles Lindbergh. Saying she was the first person ever to make the solo crossing would therefore be inaccurate.
Later in 1932, Earhart completed a nonstop solo flight across the United States, another record for a woman pilot. Her achievements were especially significant at a time when women faced limits in many areas of professional life. She also wrote about flying and inspired others to consider opportunities they might previously have thought were unavailable.
In 1937, Earhart attempted a flight around the world with navigator Frederick J. Noonan. They disappeared over the Pacific Ocean on July 2 while flying from Lae, New Guinea, toward Howland Island. What happened to them remains uncertain. A good historical summary should not present an unproven theory as an established fact, even if the theory sounds exciting.
When writing about Earhart in English, a student should compare dates, aircraft, and the words used to define an achievement. The Smithsonian’s exhibits and archives make those details easier to check. A careful biography celebrates documented accomplishments and makes clear which questions remain unanswered.
- Q1. In what year was Earhart born?
- Q2. In which American state was she born?
- Q3. What was her role on the 1928 Atlantic flight?
- Q4. Why is ‘as a passenger’ important?
- Q5. In which year did Earhart cross the Atlantic solo and nonstop?
- Q6. What aircraft did she fly in that 1932 crossing?
- Q7. Where did she land in the 1932 Atlantic crossing?
- Q8. Was she the first person ever to cross the Atlantic solo and nonstop?
- Q9. What other record did she achieve later in 1932?
- Q10. Who was her navigator during the 1937 attempt?
- Q11. Is her exact final fate fully established in the text?
- Q12. Summarize the two different Atlantic crossings in two English sentences.
Read 2｜Why a Timeline Needs Reliable Sources（約384語）
慶英会が設定した架空の学校の展示制作を題材とする英文です。
At a fictional middle school, students prepared an English display about Earhart. Their teacher asked them to make a timeline using the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum as a starting source. The group chose four years to explain: 1897, 1928, 1932, and 1937. They agreed that short labels were helpful, but that the facts should never be shortened so much that their meaning changed.
One student’s draft said, ‘In 1928, Earhart flew alone across the Atlantic.’ Yui checked a museum source and found that Earhart was a passenger in 1928. The group corrected the sentence and wrote a new entry for the 1932 solo, nonstop crossing. They learned that a small phrase, such as ‘alone’ or ‘as a passenger’, can completely change a historical statement.
Another student found a picture of the Lockheed Vega 5B used in the 1932 flight. The student wanted to describe it as the airplane used in Earhart’s 1937 around-the-world attempt. Ken asked the group to check the museum object page before writing. The students discovered that they were confusing the aircraft from two different journeys. They replaced the caption with a specific statement about the 1932 crossing and linked to the official museum page rather than copying the image without checking its conditions.
During a practice session, someone asked what had caused Earhart’s disappearance. A student started to describe a popular theory as if its truth had been confirmed. The teacher asked which part of that explanation was supported by the documents they had read. The class changed its answer to say what was known about the 1937 flight and what remained uncertain. A mystery may be interesting, but it is not evidence.
The students also considered what readers could learn from the timeline. It showed that achievements are often described with exact conditions, such as ‘first woman’, ‘solo’, and ‘nonstop’. It also showed why context matters. One accomplishment did not erase the work of other pilots, and the record of a disappearance should not become more important than a person’s entire life.
When the exhibition opened, students invited readers to compare the two Atlantic journeys and explore the original museum sources. The class did not measure whether the display changed visitors’ interest in aviation. Its main goal was to make careful English explanations that respected historical evidence.
- Q13. What did the fictional class prepare?
- Q14. Which museum provided a source for their work?
- Q15. Which four years did students choose?
- Q16. Why was the original caption about 1928 wrong?
- Q17. What happened in 1932?
- Q18. What mistake did the team make about the Lockheed Vega?
- Q19. Why did the group link to the museum page instead of immediately copying a photograph?
- Q20. How did the teacher respond to the theory about Earhart’s disappearance?
- Q21. Did the students treat the cause of her disappearance as proved?
- Q22. Name two terms needed to describe a flight record accurately.
- Q23. Did the class prove that the exhibit increased visitor interest?
- Q24. Summarize the main lesson in two English sentences.
