London subway (ロンドンの地下鉄)- Level 1

Let’s read aloud first. 最初に声を出して読んでみましょう。

Fewer people used London’s subway and buses. The reason was the omicron variant of Covid-19 spread in 2022. There were few people who had omicron. Everyone preferred to work from home and thus fewer people traveled to their workplace during the Covid-19 pandemic.

fewer (ほとんどいない), variant (変異株), spread (まん延する, spread[現在形] – spread[過去形] – spread[過去分詞]), few (ほとんどいない), prefer (好む), work from home (在宅勤務), thus (したがって), workplace (仕事場)
