　　Everybody talks about weather. “Isn't it a nice day?” “Do you think it will rain?” “I think it's going to snow.” These are common ways of starting a conversation in England.

　　Many people think that they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But they hardly ever agree with each other. One man may say, “Do you see it is cloudy in the east? It's going to rain tomorrow.” Another man will say, “Yes, it's cloudy in the east. We're going to have fine weather tomorrow.”

　　People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell himself that it's going to rain. When people play in a park on a rainy day, they are sure that the weather is going to be fine soon. They even sit eating their lunch while it rains.

　　Most people listen to what the weatherman says on the radio. But he doesn't always tell them what they want to hear. Sometimes he makes a mistake, but he is still right more often than anyone else.
