Some cities are famous for their weather. They even have special nicknames. Do you know what they are?
Kunming has good weather throughout the year. It is neither too cold nor too hot. It is like spring all year round. So people call it the City of Spring.
How is the weather in Seattle(西雅图)? It rains a lot. There are more than 200 cloudy days in Seattle every year. So it has the nickname of the Rainy City.
If you travel to Chicago, you'd better take a windbreaker(防风衣). That's because the city is called the Windy City. It is windy most of the year.
People call London the City of Fog. Every year, between spring and autumn, a fog covers the city. There may be 70 to 80 foggy days in a year.
Hello, everyone! I'm Bing Dwen Dwen(冰墩墩). Do you know me? I'm the mascot for the Beijing Winter Olympics. I wear a helmet(头盔). It's made of ice. My helmet stands for the snow and ice of winter sports. In Chinese, "bing" means ice and"dwen dwen" means lively.
This is my friend, Shuey Rhon Rhon(雪容融), the Paralympic mascot. It looks like a red lantern. "Shuey"is the Chinese word for snow and "rhon rhon" stands for tolerance and integration(宽容和融合). In Chinese culture, lanterns means "harvest, warmth and light".
