Bill and Cathy wanted to go on a holiday. They chose a place called Maldives (马尔代夫). And they decided to1there for two weeks in spring, because they heard that the weather there would be perfect at that time. They worked very hard for several2. Finally, they made enough money for their dream 3. But their trip was more like a nightmare (噩梦)!

The problem 4when the flight was put off because of bad weather. They couldn't leave 5night. They finally got on the plane twelve hours later! But they 6fly to Maldives because there was a storm(暴风雨). They had to fly to the capital city 7. There they stayed in a small hotel8the airport.

The hotel was next to the sea, but the sea was9dirty that they couldn't swim in it. And the hotel swimming pool was full of leaves! The food was awful 10. For breakfast there was11 bread and milk! The worst part was when the storm came, they felt really12. Because of the bad weather, they had to stay for13night in the small hotel. And they had14to do. It was so boring. Finally, they15in Maldives three days later. And someone told them the weather there had been wonderful all the time!

What's your favorite weather? Do you like sunny or rainy days? Many people like sunny days a lot. They don't like rain. They think rain makes them feel sad. During a long vacation, they like going to the beach to enjoy the sunshine. Sunshine makes them feel very good and happy.

I enjoy sunshine very much, but I also enjoy the sound of rain. It makes me feel quiet. On rainy days, I like listening to music and reading books, or just looking at the rain and daydreaming. You don't have to think about other things. l think it is a good way to relax when it rains.

Sunshine can make one run around and rain can make one quiet, so I hope you can feel happy no matter (无论) whether it rains or it's sunny.

What will the weather be like? Some people say they can know what the weather will be like from birds. When they see birds fly high out to the sea, they know it is a nice day, because birds don't like to fly out when it will rain. When the weather will be bad, the birds come back to the beach. A big wind may come with a rain. Birds do not like to fly in a big wind. They may sit in a tree when rain is coming.

Other animals can also tell the weather. It's a cloudy day. The rain is coming. Chickens aren't quiet, and they are running here and there. Frogs(青蛙) are making big noise in the pool. If it is a nice day, the frogs will come out of the water.

—No, he isn't. He (play) football.

—Oh, Mary (sing) there.
