Hey, Emma! How’s the weather in Australia?
Oh, it’s scorching hot in here. There’s a sharp increase in the
temperature this week. And I’m still getting used to it. How about in Japan?

Oh, we’re in the same boat. The current temperature’s about 35 degrees celsius. According to the weather report, it may increase up to 39.
No wonder you’re sweating a lot! Is there a fan near you?
