English weather,

Everybody talks about the weather in England and this is not surprising. It changes from minute to minute, so it's always interesting. Someone once wisely remarked (评论) that other countries have a climate, but England just has weather！Gretel was amused by all this talk at first, but she has got used to it now.

Last week Gretel really understood why everyone is so concerned (关注) about the weather: you can never be certain what's going to happen. Though it was spring, there was a very heavy snowfall. As usual, no one expected it. The pipes in many houses were frozen; trains failed to run; cars went shrunk; there were many accidents on the roads; lots of people slipped on the icy pavements and got hurt; the weather forecast was very bad. Everyone complained gloomily (沮丧地) , “What awful weather we're having！Haven't seen anything like it！” and so on. And then, suddenly, the sun came out, the snow melted and it was spring again.

“Typical (典型的)！Just typical！” Gretel remarked.

“From the way you talk about the weather, Gretel,” Mr Clark said, “anyone would think you were English.”

As a famous American writer, Mark Twain, once said, “Everybody talks about weather, but nobody 　　　 anything about it.” It is true that everybody talks about the weather. Many people

　　 their talks by saying, “Isn’t it a nice 　　　　 ?” “Do you think it will rain?” “I think it’s going to snow.”

A large number of people think they can tell 　　　　 the weather is going to be like. However, they 　 　　 ever agree with each other. One man may say, “Do you see how cloudy it is in the east?

People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell him it’s going to rain and he won’t believe 　　　　 else. When friends have a picnic, they are so 　　　　 the weather is going to be fine that they sit 　　　　 their lunch while it is raining.

Almost everyone listens to what the weatherman says. But he doesn’t always tell us what we want and sometimes he makes a mistake. Still, he is 　　　 most of the time.
