英語ストーリー
Sarah was stressed. Her apartment was a mess, and she had a big presentation at work the next day. She desperately needed to clean, but the thought of vacuuming her entire apartment felt overwhelming. Then, she remembered her new robot vacuum, a quirky little device she'd bought on a whim. She'd been hesitant to use it, worried it wouldn't work properly. But with her deadline looming, she decided to give it a try.
She switched it on, and to her surprise, the little robot zipped around the apartment, efficiently sucking up dust and debris. It even navigated around her furniture with surprising dexterity. Sarah was amazed! She had expected a chaotic mess, but the robot vacuum worked perfectly. Not only did it clean her apartment thoroughly, but it also gave her the time she needed to prepare for her presentation. She finished her presentation slides with a clear mind, feeling calm and organized, thanks to her unexpectedly helpful robot vacuum. The next morning, she delivered a flawless presentation, achieving a promotion she had been aiming for. She realized that sometimes, the smallest and most unexpected things can make the biggest difference.
