おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

きのうは、暖房(だんぼう)の話をしました。

じつは今日、私の家の暖房がつきませんでした。

家のセントラルヒーティングが、こわれました。

暖房がつかないので、部屋がすごく寒くなりました。

私は部屋のオーナーに、

「あのー、セントラルヒーティングがつきません。

あたたかく、なりません。」

と言いました。

夜になって、修理(しゅうり)の人が来ました。

ぶじに、セントラルヒーティングはなおりました。

いまは、あたたかいです。

あー、ホッとしました。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また明日！
