ありえないという言葉を知っていますか？ありえないとは何か信じられないことが起こった時に使う言葉です。大阪弁ではありえへんといいます。
みなさんには、最近「ありえない」ことが起こりましたか？
今日私は朝起きて外にありえない景色が広がっていました。外が雪で真っ白になっていました。天気予報では雪の予報が出ていましたが、「まさか積もらないだろう」と思っていました。先週は日中の気温が15度ぐらいまで上がり、暖かったのでようやく春が来たと喜んでいました。ところが、今日はまるで冬に戻ったみたいです。みなさんの住んでいるところの天気はどうですか？こういう暖かくなったり、さむくなったりする時期は風邪をひきやすいので気をつけてくださいね。

景色：けしき　view
天気予報：てんきよほう weather forecast
雪（ゆき）が積（つ）もる：snow pile up, We get snow on the ground
