Translation

Have you looked up at the night sky recently? When living in a bright city, it is quite difficult to see the stars. However, if you go to a mountain or the sea a little further away, you can see a surprising number of stars. Especially on winter nights, the air is clear, and the stars look very beautiful. When you are looking at the stars slowly in a quiet place, your worries might feel smaller. Why not put down your smartphone once in a while and enjoy the nature of the night?

Comprehension

  • Because the nights are longer
