Household task 2

JENNIFER: It’s freezing outside! What happened to the 
weather report? I thought this cold front was 
supposed to pass.
GABRIELA: Yeah, I thought so too. That’s what I read online
this morning.
JENNIFER: I guess the wind chill is really driving down
the temperature.
GABRIELA: Can we go inside? I feel like my toes are starting to 
go numb.




LANGUAGE NOTES
• A “cold front” means a large mass of cold air. It can be plural: There were multiple cold 
fronts this January. 
• Here “supposed to” refers to something that is intended or expected to happen: I 
thought it was supposed to rain today. This phrase can be used for many situations: I 
thought the train was supposed to arrive at 9:00 a.m. sharp.
• Yeah / Yup / Uh huh are informal conversational cues used by native speakers in 
conversation. Each of these responses could be used here for “yes.” Gabriela affirms 
what Jennifer is saying. The most polite way to affirm a response is to say “yes.”
• Listen for the emphasis on “That’s what I read online this morning.” This useful 
phrase can be used with other verbs to convey information: That’s what I heard on the 
radio. / That’s what I saw on TV. / That’s what I read online.
• Chill / freezing / cold: These words describe cold weather. I feel the wind chill. / I feel 
the chill. / I am freezing. / I am cold.
• Wind chill is the effect of the wind making the temperature feel colder on a person’s 
skin. This is an uncountable noun. The temperature is 4 degrees, but with the wind chill 
it feels like -8. These phrases are used in weather reports as well.
• The phrase “driving down” means “forcing to be lower” and can be used in many 
situations. An oversupply of new houses is driving down sales prices in the area.

日本の食卓事情２

日本では外食（がいしょく）は高（たか）いし、栄養（えいよう）が偏（かたよ）るから自炊（じすい）が一番（いちばん）良（よ）いと考（かんが）える人が多い気がする。あっさりしたメニューの次（つぎ）の日は味（あじ）の濃（こ）い献立（こんだて）にしたり、和食（わしょく）が続（つづ）けば、中華（ちゅうか）料理（りょうり）や韓国（かんこく）料理・イタリアン風（ふう）など様々（さまざま）な国（くに）の料理も作（つく）ったり、色（いろ）んな料理を作るために家（いえ）に常備（じょうび）している調味料（ちょうみりょう）の種類（しゅるい）もかなり多い。料理好（ず）きなら分かるが、料理することが苦痛（くつう）なら作らなければいいのに、なぜここまで頑張（がんば）るのか。
