Listen to me reading a news article about education in the UK from my Conversational English course. 

T-levels are a new type of exam course that was rolled out in the UK in 2020. T-Levels are two-year vocational courses taken after GCSEs, which focus on subjects like education, construction and IT, and include a work placement.

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！

We know a lot of jobs can be done remotely, an arrangement we often call "working from home."

But we also know that working remotely may not mean actually working at home — people work in libraries, in their cars and in cafes.

Many of us like working in the nice atmosphere of a coffee shop. But some cafe and bar owners have had enough of remote workers using their tables.

Some have banned laptops and turned off their Wi-Fi, while others have begun asking remote workers to pay to use the space.

Owners have complained that some people buy one coffee and work in their cafe for up to eight hours, or ask for the music to be turned down so they can have meetings online.

Peter Duran runs a coffee shop in Berlin. He doesn't have Wi-Fi and doesn't let people use laptops. He told Barista Magazine: "We want to be a place where people come to meet each other or be alone, but leave the stress of work outside."

And it's not just about the atmosphere of the place. Remote workers aren't good for business, says Duran, since they spend much less per hour than he pays his workers.

Of course, remote workers themselves don't agree.

On TikTok, one worker said if you pay $8 for a coffee you should be able to choose how you spend your time in a cafe.

However, with so many people working remotely, towns and cities around the world have begun opening remote working spaces where people can work without annoying any cafe owners.

It is very important to use contractions in your speech. They are not informal, they are always required. I discuss this in today's podcast.
