Chapter 4 Examples for Conversation

For Good Weather

‘Nice day, isn’t it? ‘
‘Isn’t it beautiful?’
‘The sun
‘Isn’t it wonderful?’
‘Yes, wonderful, isn’t it? ‘
‘It’s so nice and hot . . .’
‘I think it’s so nice when it’s hot, isn’t it?’
‘I really love it, don’t you? ‘

For Bad Weather


‘Terrible day, isn’t it?’
‘Isn’t it unpleasant?’
‘The rain ... I don’t like the rain.’
‘Just think - a day like this in July. It rains in the morning, then a
bit of sun and then rain, rain, rain, all day’
‘I remember the same July day in 1936
‘Yes, I remember too.’
‘Or was it 1928?’
‘Yes, it was.’
‘Or in 1939?’
‘Yes, that’s right.’
Now look at the last few sentences of this conversation. You can see a very important rule: you must always agree with other people when you talk about the weather. If it is raining and snowing and the wind is knocking down trees, and someone says, ‘Nice day, isn’t it?’ answer immediately, ‘Isn’t it wonderful?’
Learn these conversations by heart. You can use them again and again. If you repeat these conversations every day for the rest of your life, it is possible that people will think you are clever, polite and amusing.
Listen to the weather reports on the radio and you will hear different weather reports for different people. There is always a different report for farmers. For example, you hear, ‘Tomorrow it will be cloudy and cold. There will be a lot of rain.’
Then, immediately after this you hear, ‘Weather report for farmers. It will be bright and warm and there will be a lot of sunshine.’
Farmers do important work for the country, so they need better weather, you see.
Often the radio tells you that it is a nice day but then you look

outside and see that it is raining or snowing. Sometimes the radio says it is a rainy day and you see that the sun is shining brightly. This is not because the weather people have made a mistake. It is because they have reported the right weather as they want it to be but then some troublesome weather from another part of the world moves in across Britain and changes the weather picture. If British weather has to mix with foreign weather, things are not looking very good.

 ¿Cuánto inglés sabemos? Cuando hablamos de un idioma hay que tener una idea de cuánto se sabe y, después, hay que saber sacar el máximo partido a nuestras conocimientos. En esta clase de hoy, hablaremos acerca de cómo todos sabemos algo de inglés, acerca de cómo tenemos también algunas ideas equivocadas sobre el mismo, e intentaremos plantear una estrategia para nuestro aprendizaje. 1. Vamos a hacer un recuento de palabras y frases que nos son familiares. 2. Vamos a leer un poco y veremos que hay dos clases de palabras. Un texto normal y otro más fácil . 3. Vamos a escuchar algo de inglés a ver qué entendemos.     Unas frases      Una canción: Ahora con la letra: 4. Nos atreveremos a hablar (aunque sea poco y bajito).

Where was the envelo...
