Winter – 2. Spring – 3. Summer – 4. Autumn – The Weather in England The weather in England is very changeable. A fine morning can change into a wet afternoon and evening. And a nasty morning can change into a fine afternoon. That is why it is natural for the English to use the comparison ‘as changeable as the weather’ of a person who often changes his mood or opinion about something. ‘Other countries have a climate; in England we have weather’. This statement is often made by the English to describe the meteorological conditions of their country. The English also say that they have three variants of weather: when it rains in the morning, when it rains in the afternoon, or when it rains all day long. The weather is the favourite conversational topic in England. When two Englishmen meet, their first words will be ‘How are you?’ And after the reply ‘Very well, thank you; how are you?’ the next remark is almost certain to be about the weather. When they go abroad the English often surprise people of other nationalities by this tendency to talk about the weather, a topic of conversation that other people do not find so interesting. The best time of the year in England is spring (of course, it rains in spring, too). The two worst months in Britain are January and February. They are cold, damp, and unpleasant. The best place in the world then is at home by the fire. Summer months are rather cold and there can be a lot of rainy days. So most people, who look forward to summer holidays, plan to go abroad for the summer, to France or somewhere on the Continent. The most unpleasant aspects of the weather in England are fog and smog. жүктеу/скачать 3.45 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
