From Sally

    It's sunny and cool in my city now. I'm studying at home. How's the weather in your city? And what are you doing?

From Mike

    I'm visiting my uncle in Beijing. He works here. It's sunny in Beijing now. And it's warm. My two cousins are playing soccer in the yard. My uncle is reading a book at home.

From Eric

    I live in New York City. It's hot now. Today is my birthday. My mother is cooking dinner and my father is helping her. My brother is making a birthday cake.

From Jane

    I'm in Florida. It's cool and sunny. I'm surfing the Internet in the library. Lots of students are in the library. Some are reading and some are writing. They all work very hard.

    What's the weather like in your city? Do you like the weather of your hometown? I am a middle school student. I come from a city in the north of China. In my city, it's

Very1in summer and very cold in winter. In summer, it often2. I like to swim in summer. I think it's very3to swim in the river. When it's raining, I like to read books at home. In winter, it sometimes snows. We all like4. When it snows, we like to play5the snow. We often make snowmen and take many photos. Some people like to skate in winter.

    Today is Sunday. It's very cold and6outside. There aren't many people in the street. But we have a7time at home. My grandfather8a newspaper. My grandmother is watching TV. My father is working on the computer. My mother is cooking delicious food in the kitchen. I am doing my homework. How happy we are!

    Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it. It is true.

    People usually begin their talks with "Isn't it a nice day?" Do you think it will rain? "What a fine day!"

    Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But they hardly agree with(同意) each other. One man says, "Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It's going to rain tomorrow." Another man may say, "No, it's going to be fine tomorrow."

    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. He won't believe(相信) anything else. When friends have a journey, they are sure the weather is going to clear up very quickly.

    Almost(几乎) everybody listens to what the weather- man says, but it doesn't always tell us what we want, and sometimes he makes a mistake. Still he probably comes closer to being correct than anyone else.
