1. Read the text and choose the correct items.

    When two Englishmen meet they often talk about the weather. Why is the weather so important in England? In Britain the weather changes more often than in other countries. That is why they say, “the other countries have a climate, in England we have only weather.”

    Weather plays  great role in the life of people. Every day newspapers write the weather forecast. Radio and TV give information about the weather several times a day. Sometimes London has bad fogs in November. Thick fogs cover the capital. Cars, busses and lorries put in their lights and move slowly along the wet, slippery roads.
