Read the poems and learn them by heart. Winter. Grey is the sky And the wind is chill. Icicles hang From the window sill. Gone is the swing From the tree-bough, Nobody plays In the garden now. Only the robin With breast of red, Sits and waits For the crumbs of bread.

Winter. The street cars are And everywhere Like frosted cackes- The people go All covered up With faces tickled By the snow. Snowflakes With ccold snowflakes. Merry little snowflakes Dancing through the street, Flying in our faces, Falling at our feet. Merry little snowflakes Winter”s wild bees, Covering all the houses, Dusting all the trees.

Snowflakes. See the pretty snowflakes, Falling from the sky. On the walls and house-tops Soft and thick they lie. On the window ledgers, On the brunches bare, See how they gather, Falling from the air. Snow!Snow!Snow! What is going to do today? Rain or snow? The bunnies say. They look at the sky, all woolly gray, And watch he way the wind is blowing – And they suddenly know – “cause it”s suddenly snowing! Jack Frost. He comes, he goes, He nips our toes. He paints the trees, The pounds he”ll freese. It”s cold and still , the wind is away, And little Jack Frost is busy today. He neeps my cheeks, he nips my nose, And before I catch him, away he goes!

On weather forecast. George took the newspaper and read us the weather forecast: “Rain, cold, wet to fine, occasional local thunderstorms, east wind”. I don”t believe this waher forecast business. It forecastes precisely what happened yesterday or the day before, and precisely the opposite that is going to happen today. I remember how our plans were completely ruined one late autumn day. We had been plannning to go to the country for a picnic, but then we looced at the weather report in the lpcal newspaper. “ Heavy showers, with thunderstorms, may be expected today,” it said, so we gave up our picnic and stopped indoors all day, waitin for the rain. Many people passed by uc in cars and coaches. It was clear that they were going to the country. The sun was shining, and there was not a cloud in the sky. “Ah!” we said as we stood looking at them through the window,”they will come home wet to the skin!”. And we smiled , thinking how wet they are going to get. By twelve o”clock, with the sun pouring into hte room, the heatbecome quite oppresive, and we we wondered when those heavy showers and occasional thunderstorms were going to begin. At one o”clock a landlady came and asked uf we were going out, as it seemed such a lovely day. “No, no” we replied,”not we. We don”t want to get wet through – no, no.” But not a drop of rain ever fell, and it was fine till late night. The next morning we read that it was going to be “ warm fine day, much heat”, and we put on light clothers and went out, and half an hour after we had started, it began to rain hаrd, and bitterly cold wind began to blow, and it lasted for a whole day, and we came home with colds and rheumatism and went to bed.

WEATHER FORECASTS Two men were travelling in a very wild part of America.They saw no modern houses and no traces of civilization for many days. What they saw were only a few huts made of wood or tents where Indians lived.One day they met an old Indian who was a hunter. He was very clever and knew everything about the forest and animals living in it and many other things. He could also speak English quite well. ‘’Can you tell us what the weather will be like during the next few days?’’ one of them asked him. ‘’Oh, yes ,’’he answered. ‘’Rain is coming, and wind. Then there will be snow for a day or two but then the sunshine will come again and the weather will be fine.’’ ‘’These old Indians seem to know more about Nature than we with all our science,’’ said the man to his friend. Then he turned to the old Indian. ‘’Tell me ,’’he asked ,’how do you know all that?’’ The Indian answered;’’I heard it over the radio.’’

Answer the questions; 1.Where were two men travelling? 2.What did they see? 3.What were the houses they saw made of? 4.Who lived in the tents? 5.What was an old Indian? 6.An old Indian was very clever,wasn’t he? 7.What did he know about forest and animals living there? 8.What language could he speak? 9.What question did the travellers ask the old Indian? 10.What did he answer? 11.Do old Indians seem to know more about Nature then the science?

Speaking of Climate An English and American were discussing the question of climate. The Englishman said it was quite common in England to go out in a sport jacket in the morning and be glad of a thick overcoat in the evening. ‘’That’s nothing,’’ said the American. ‘’I remember two of my friends who argued on the road when the snow lay eught or nine inches deep. At last one of them made a snowball and threw it at the other. It had only five yards to travel,but the weather changed so rapidly and it became so hot that instead being hit by a snowball the man was scaldedby hot water
