0:02

English listening practice video you can

0:08

and comprehension as I speak you ready

0:11

so today I'm going to talk about the

0:15

weather this is an important topic

0:17

because everybody talks about the

0:20

weather if you are learning English you

0:23

need to know how to talk about the

0:26

weather so let's start with sunny

0:28

weather sunny weather is my favorite

0:31

type of weather when it's sunny outside

0:34

I'm happy for me hot weather is better

0:38

than cold weather some people don't like

0:42

the heat but I don't mind the heat it

0:45

can be uncomfortable but for me that's

0:48

okay

0:49

some places are too hot though for

0:52

example the city of Las Vegas is really

0:55

hot in the summer I like hot weather but

0:59

not that hot in really hot cities you

1:03

need to stay inside during the afternoon

1:06

in the u.s. most buildings in hot cities

1:10

have air-conditioning ok now let's talk

1:14

about cloudy days I hate cloudy days

1:18

when the Sun is not shining I feel a

1:21

little sad because I love sunny days but

1:25

cloudy days are normal every city has

1:28

cloudy days some cities are always

1:32

cloudy like London I can't live in a

1:35

cloudy city

1:36

I need sunshine do you like sunny or

1:39

cloudy days more okay now let's talk

1:43

about rainy days for me rainy days are

1:47

the worst I love being outside so this

1:51

is why I don't like the rain when it

1:54

rains I can't do anything outside I have

1:58

to stay indoors all day some people

2:01

really like the rain my wife likes the

2:04

rain but only when she's inside she says

2:08

that the sound of the rain is calming I

2:11

don't agree

2:12

I don't like the sound of the rain it

2:15

reminds me that I can't go outside of

2:18

course you can go outside when it's

2:21

raining but you need to take an umbrella

2:24

if you don't have an umbrella you get

2:27

wet sometimes it starts raining when I'm

2:30

not home and I don't have an umbrella

2:33

with me this is the worst I don't like

2:37

getting wet also when it rains it can be

2:41

dangerous to drive many people have car

2:45

accidents when it rains when the streets

2:48

are wet you need to drive slower if you

2:52

don't you can have an accident

2:55

on rainy days there are a lot of car

2:59

accidents I don't like driving in the

3:02

rain all right now let's talk about

3:04

windy days some cities have a lot of

3:08

wind and this can be good or bad if you

3:12

live in a hot city the wind can be good

3:15

because it cools the city down but if

3:19

you live in a cold city the wind can be

3:22

bad because it makes it even colder if

3:25

the wind is really strong it can cause

3:28

problems sometimes trees fall down

3:32

because of the strong wind usually I

3:36

prefer days that aren't windy okay

3:40

lastly let's talk about the snow it

3:43

doesn't snow in my city so I don't see

3:47

the snow often some years my family goes

3:51

to the mountains in the winter to ski

3:53

and snowboard I like the snow but I

3:57

don't want to live in a snowy city it's

4:00

too cold and life is more difficult in

4:03

the snow I have some students that live

4:06

in really cold cities during the winter

4:09

the temperature can be minus 20 or minus

4:13

30 degrees Celsius for me that's crazy

4:17

I don't like the cold another bad type

4:21

of weather is stormy weather in the u.s.

4:24

we have some bad

4:26

storms like hurricanes and tornadoes

4:29

I've never seen a storm like this before

4:32

but I've seen many thunderstorms

4:35

these storms are not that bad but I

4:38

don't like lightning lightning can be

4:41

scary okay that's all for today leave a

4:45
