Контрольна робота аудіювання 8 клас

Most people believe that in Britain it rains all the time, but this is not true. It rains just as much in many other European countries as it does in Britain. In fact, Hamburg in Germany gets more rain than London. November and December are the wettest months, but the British weather is difficult to predict.

Summer is usually warm and sunny, but sometimes it rains during the summer. In autumn, it is often quite windy and the leaves fall from the trees. In winter, it often snows too, but it doesn’t usually last very long. The sky is grey and cloudy most of the time. Spring isn’t very warm and it rains a lot.

Britain is warmer than other northern countries because of the warm air that comes from the Atlantic. But you never know what weather to expect in Britain – you always need to carry an umbrella with you, just in case it rains.
