TOPIC: Failed Expectations About The Weather [B1]

We have a terrible weather today. Clouds are black and you can’t see anything because of heavy rain. What a summer! Lana Del Ray’s song should definitely be called “Bummer-Summer” and be about what is happening outside the window. 

We all expect summer to be hot, winter to be cold, spring and autumn to be sunny. If we have a cold weather in summer we are disappointed. Some people think differently about it. They like it when the weather is unusual. It also helps to make some creative things - songs, drawings, poems etc. Sitting at home when the weather is bad can become something awesome and marvelous thing. Of course if you like to walk in parks or travel - weather can create you some hardships but if you’re going to be home - weather can make it special. 


Let’s imagine a hot tea cup and book while it rains heavily outside. If you have candles just turn the lights off and fire them. You’ll get the atmosphere like you can see only in movies. However, if you are highly emotional I wouldn’t advice you to do it. The atmosphere can bring to mind some similar to thriller movies. 


Another way to take the best out of bad weather is to study something interesting or play board games with friends. It rains heavy and it is dark but you have a company to laugh about it and other things around.
