III Reading ( 2,5ms):
We speak about the weather almost everyday Before we begin doing something we want to know what kind of weather it is going to be
Why do we speak about the weather so often? The answer is not difficult We want sunny weather when we go for a walk in the country, and on a rainy day we stay at home reading books, watching television or doing other things
When we are at the seaside, windy weather is not pleasant It is difficult to swim when the wind blows And the wind can change good weather into bad one The sun will stop shining, and the rain may come And is there anything which we can do and must do in any weather? Yes, of cours there is As English people say “ rain or shine we must go to school.” School is good in any weather, isn’t it?
It is obviously important for a farmer, a fisherman, an airplane pilot, and a ship’s captain to know what the weather will be like Unless they know what weather to expect they cannot plan their activities

1/ How often do we speak about the weather?
