Sophie’s dad is an international pilot. When he is away, he sends postcards to his family. These little postcards with pictures of London, New York and Toronto bring the world right into Sophie’s home.
Sophie’s dad collects new words like some people collect stamps, china or pictures of basketball players. Whenever he hears a word for the first time, he’ll act like a child with a new toy. When he has a stopover on a long flight, the first place he goes to is the airport bookstore for books, journals, puzzles and newspapers.
During most of this year, Sophie’s dad was a pilot on an airplane that flew over the Polar Cap. “What an interesting expression,” he wrote on a postcard to Sophie. “It sounds as if the North Pole had a cap on its head because the weather is so cold. Imagine the North Pole saying, ‘I’d better put on my cap so I don’t freeze my ears.’”
At school, Sophie’s class had started to study northern environments. Her task was to write a report on how people describe the weather in cold places. “I could look in the encyclopedia,” she said to herself, “but my dad has visited these places. He is a flying encyclopedia.”
Sophie had three weeks to finish her project. “That’s easy,” her dad said. He was about to leave for two weeks. One of his flights would take him from Moscow to Montreal. “I’ll buy some postcards in Moscow and a book about the weather in Montreal. I’ll send you weather descriptions from Canada. I’ll mail the postcards at the same time.”
When the postcards began to arrive, Sophie could not help but laugh. On one side, the postcards showed pictures of Russian palaces and gardens, art treasures from famous Russian museums and beautiful ports on the Black Sea. On the other side, her dad described the snowstorms of the world’s far northern countries.
In the last postcard he sent, Sophie’s father described an interesting scene. He wrote, “Here, in the most northern parts of the world, the extreme cold temperatures can cause some interesting things to happen. For example, when sunlight hits ice crystals in the air in a certain way, you can see strange shapes on both sides of the sun. The people who live here call this shape a sundog. I love that. I think that’s my new favorite word.”
Laughing at the odd word; Sophie wondered whether sundogs chased mooncats. “I’m learning to speak a whole new language,” she told her teacher excitedly. “The language of snow. Different words about snow are being used in my report.”
“That’s good. The more words you know, the better you can express yourself and your experiences,” her teacher commented. “Language helps us understand the world we live in and communicate and share our understanding with others. A greater knowledge of any subject, from space travel to music, will come with new words and new understandings. Words are doors. When you learn new words, it’s like opening a door to a new place.”
