Today’s dialog
帰宅したダンが妻のフクミに、今朝出勤前にシャワーのお湯が出なかったことを話しています。
Dan: Hi, honey. I’m home!
Fukumi: Hi. How was your day?
Dan: It was fine, except for this morning. There was no hot water again, so I had to take a cold shower.
Fukumi: It’s happening more and more recently. Our water heater is too old.
Dan: We’ll have to get it fixed soon. Otherwise, we’ll probably both catch a cold.
Fukumi: OK, I’ll call the repair people first thing tomorrow morning.
Dan: Thanks, honey.
