A man came into a little village inn and sat down at a table near the window. It was war time, and food was hard to get.

"We've got only soup today, sir," said the waiter to the man.
"OK, bring me a plate of soup," he said.

The waiter nodded and left the room. Soon he came back with a plate of soup. He put it on the table before the man and looked through the window, "It looks like rain, sir," said the waiter.

The waiter was thinking of the weather, but the man was thinking of the soup, which he had just tasted. "Well," he said, "and it tastes like rain, too."

Text #2. Talking about Weather

In Britain, it is considered rude to ask personal questions. At the same time silence is also rude. So the weather is a very convenient topic ‘ to fill the gap‘(fill in the pause).

• on the Continent - everywhere except the British Isles
• should it hail and snow - let it hail or snow
• uproot - uproot
• fair chance - a great chance
• to pass as - pass for, pass for
• witty - witty
• sharp intellect [ʃɑːp ‘intilekt] - high intelligence
• keen observation [ˌɔbzə'veɪʃ(ə)n - amazing observation

This is the most important topic in the land. On the Continent, people usually say, ‘He is the type who would discuss the weather with,’ to describe someone who is very boring. In England, this is an ever-interesting, even thrilling topic, and you must be good at discussing the weather.

There is a very important rule: you must never contradict anybody when discussing the weather. should it hail and snow, should hurricanes uproot the trees from the sides of the road, and should someone say to you: ‘Nice day, isn’t it?’ - answer without hesitation : ‘Isn’t it lovely?’

Phrases For Good Weather
'Lovely day, isn't it?' 'Isn't it beautiful?' 'The sun…' 'Isn't it gorgeous?' 'Wonderful, isn't it?' 'It's so nice and hot…' 'Personally , I think it's so nice when it's hot, isn't it?'

Phrases For Bad Weather
‘Nasty day, isn’t it?’ ‘Isn’t it dreadful?’ ‘The rain… I hate rain…’ I don’t like it at all. Do you?'
‘Just think - such a day in July. Rain in the morning, then a bit of sunshine, and then rain, rain, rain, all day long.’

Learn these phrases by heart. If you are a bit slow in picking things up, learn at least one conversation, it would do wonderfully for any occasion. If you do not say anything else for the rest of your life, just repeat this conversation, you still have a fair chance of passing as a witty man of sharp intelligence, acute observation and extremely pleasant manners.

Text #3. How to Predict Weather

• tip - hint
• to predict - predict

Here are some tips for weather prediction.

watch animals. They are very sensitive to atmospheric pressure and they are very good as weather predictors. For example, insect-eating birds usually fly higher in good weather, but they often fly lower if a storm is approaching.

Watch a fire. If fire smoke rises steadily, the weather is going to be fine. If it turns or comes closer to the ground, a storm or snow is approaching.

watch nature. When wet weather is on the way, sounds are heard more clearly. The smell of flowers and other plants becomes more distinctive before the arrival of rain. A gray evening sky means that rain is going to happen.

Finally, remember a few weather expressions in english
1. It is not a good day to go out. It's better not to leave the house today.
2. It is not a good day for outing. “It’s better to go anywhere today.
3. This heat gets on my nerves. This heat is getting on my nerves.
4. It depends on the weather. - It depends on the weather.

4. Presentation: "What are the rains?

Rain

The heat from the sun evaporates water in oceans, rivers, and lakes, and the water vapor rises into the air. At very high altitudes, the air is too cold for all the water vapor to remain in a gaseous state. It condenses in cold air, forming water droplets that form clouds. The droplets hang high in the air until they become too heavy. Then they fall, it rains.

What other rains are there?

-Mushroom rain

A cloud is circling above me.
And the mushrooms make me laugh:
From the rain under the umbrella in a hurry

Tell about what you see.

3. Presentation:"What are the clouds"

Clouds can be of different shapes, colors, sizes. Appearance Clouds depend on how quickly they form and how much water they contain.

A wide variety of clouds can be divided into three main groups - low, medium and high clouds.

Cirrus Clouds formed from ice crystals form at high altitudes in very cold air. They often appear light and thin.

layered clouds form low above the ground. They are gray in color and are often seen in low coastal areas.

White fluffy cumulus clouds (which also occur quite low) decorate the blue sky in good weather. Cumulus clouds are named for their shape. They look like heaps of cotton wool, all the time, changing their shape. And in summer and more often in autumn there are fogs.

Fog is also a cloud of water droplets that occurs in cold air near the ground and is more common in lowlands.

rain clouds are clouds. They are dark in color because the water droplets (or ice crystals) that make up them have grown in size and become so large that gravity causes them to fall to the Earth. (When water droplets are small, they reflect light, but as they grow in size, they absorb light and appear darker.) Rain clouds can be low and flat or tall and drooping. Overhanging anvil-shaped rain clouds are called cumulonimbus, and they bring really bad weather - thunderstorms, hailstorms and tornadoes.

A cloud walked across the sky

The cloud covered the sun.

Only the sun hid

Cloud and cried ...

4. Presentation: "What are the rains?

Rain are precipitation falling from clouds in the form of droplets. (0.5-7 mm.)

The heat from the sun evaporates water in oceans, rivers, and lakes, and the water vapor rises into the air. At very high altitudes, the air is too cold for all the water vapor to remain in a gaseous state. It condenses in cold air, forming water droplets that form clouds. The droplets hang high in the air until they become too heavy. Then they fall, it rains.

If the rain is finer, it is called drizzle.

What other rains are there?

-Mushroom rain- the most favorite among the people of the rain. pouring through Sun rays sometimes with almost clear blue skies. They call it mushroom, because. this summer rain, warm and short, it is believed that mushrooms begin to grow after it. According to folk beliefs, not only mushrooms grow under such rain, but also small children. It's fun to run under large drops shining in the sun. They also say about such a rain “the princess is crying”

A cloud is circling above me.
Happy rain, mushroom rain.
And the mushrooms make me laugh:
From the rain under the umbrella in a hurry

Shower or torrential rain, torrential frequent rain that usually pours in summer. When they say “it pours like a bucket” they mean a downpour. The density of jets in a shower can be 10-15 per 1 sq.cm. Heavy rains are typical for summer. Short-term downpours contribute to air purification, good wetting of the soil, and refresh green spaces. If the torrential rain drags on, then it is fraught with flooding.

oblique rain- rain with strong constant wind.

What is rain like?

The poem "What rain?

The rain dripped, drizzled,
Allowed, knocked, mowed,
It poured downpour, stood like a wall.
Drumming, crushing herbs.

The rain is blind and torrential
Growing, mushroom,
Cover, hanging, fast,
Sleepy, slow and arrogant,

Like a reed standing upright,
And cold and hot
Also, thunder
rainbow, stripe,

Parallels and into the grid,
And with the wind, even in a cage.
That's how much rain there is
For plants and people

(O. Grigoriev.)

Thus, students repeat the learned vocabulary, and also gradually get used to feeling confident in a conversation in a foreign language.

When studying today's material, we will try to adhere to a similar tactic: first, we will study the grammatical and lexical basis, and then we will practice in "live" speech, i.e. we will strive to build our own dialogue about any weather in English. So, let's look at a few small rules.
