1. – Isn't the weather awful! It's raining cats and dogs. It's very wet. It was fine this morning, so I didn't bring my umbrella.

– Don't worry. You can have mine.
– Thank you very much. It's very kind of you.

2. – What is the weather like in England?

– The weather changes in our country more often than in other countries, that's why we say, "Other countries have a climate, in England we have weather."
– Are all the days alike in autumn?
– Oh, no, it may be raining one day and the next day it may be sunny.
– Do Englishmen always have to wear raincoats and carry umbrellas in autumn?
– As a rule, they do.

3. – Lovely day, isn't it?

– Hmm, it's quite nice now, but I'm sure it may rain soon, you know I've got my umbrella with me, just in case.
– Yes, well, it could turn out wet or fine really, our English weather's so very changeable.
– It may be warm and sunny. You can never be too sure.
– But it's getting cold already. I think it'll be cold and dull all day.
– Hmm, it's very cold. My feet are freezing. I suffer terribly from the cold.
– It may snow. The weather forecast said snow in high places.
– Hmm, I don't know. But I think it might be windy tonight. —Where's the bus? I'm frozen.

4. – What kind of weather do you like?

– I like all sorts of weather, when it's hot, warm or cold, frosty or cloudy, except windy weather. It-gets on my nerves.
– The English say: there's no bad weather, there are bad clothes.

5. – Hi, Jack. This is Jim. I'm calling from Miami.

– From Miami? What are you doing in Miami?
– I'm on vacation.
– How's the weather in Miami? Is it surely?
– No, it isn't. It's cloudy.
– Is it hot?
– No, it isn't. It's cold.
– Are you having a good time?
– No, I'm having a terrible time. The weather is terrible here.
– I'm sorry to hear that.

6. – The weather's fine today, isn't it?

– Yes, it is. The sun's shining and there are no clouds in the sky.
– It is warm outside, isn't it?
– I shouldn't think so. It's November now.
– Shall I put a coat on?
– As you like. You think you will catch cold, won't you?
– Certainly.
– All right, then.
