みなさんはもう衣替えをしましたか？最近、寒くなってきたので、そろそろ衣替えをしようかなと考えている人が多いかもしれません。衣替えというのは、今着ている服を季節に合った服に入れ替えることをいいます。つまり、夏服をクローゼットにしまって、冬服を出すことです。
私は１ヶ月ほど前に衣替えをしました。半袖のTシャツやズボン、薄いジャケットをクローゼットにしまいました。そして、厚いジャケットやコート、セーターを出しました。
今年は電気代やガス代が高くなるそうなので、家の中でも暖かい服を着て、なるべくヒーターやストーブを使わずに過ごしたいと思います。
皆さんは、冬を暖かく過ごすために何かしていることはありますか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えてください。
