Everyone likes talking about weather. When people meet, they usually say something like “Isn’t it a nice day?” or “Do you think it will rain?”

Different people often want different weather. When a farmer needs water, he hopes it will rain. When people want to take a trip, they hope it will be sunny soon.

How will be the weather? Many people think they can tell (判断) it. But they often have different ideas. Some may say, “It’s cloudy in the east. It will rain tomorrow.” But others may say, “No, it will be sunny tomorrow.” So people like the weather report (报告). It sometimes makes mistakes (错误). Still, it can tell many things about the weather.

Here are the weather and the temperature (温度) of some different cities on the same day.

In England, people don’t often talk much. You can get on a bus or a train, and everyone sits looking out of the window. Often they read books or newspapers. But they don’t talk much. When you meet English people, they often talk about one thing—weather. So when you meet someone in England, you can say, “Nice weather for the time of year!” “But it is a little cold today,” someone may answer. “But it will be warm in the afternoon,” you can say. If you talk like this, English people will think, “How friendly you are!”

April 22 is Earth Day. Everyone on the earth should care about and protect the earth!

The earth has warmed by about 1°F (华氏度) over the past 100 years, but why and how? Well, scientists are not quite sure. Maybe the earth gets warmer and warmer on its own. But many scientists say that people are doing many things which make the earth warmer.

First, the greenhouse effect (温室效应) is a very important reason for the change of the earth. People give out too much energy into the air every year. It makes the earth warmer. Climate (气候) change is another important reason. Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold. Sometimes there is too much rain and sometimes too little. The change of the climate makes the earth warmer. In turn, the warmth of the earth changes the climate, too.

People can affect the earth’s air, land and water. As for us, we can do many things to protect the earth. For example, we can use fridges less. We can tell more people about protecting the earth.
