Why Do the English Always Talk about the Weather?
It's nearly June and the people in London are still wearing the winter jackets! Don't you think the weather in London is so bad at the moment? But when the sun comes out in the late afternoon, it will be summer at this time of a day. When you go to England, you will (将要) see that some English people usually take an umbrella or a raincoat with them on a sunny morning, but you should not laugh at them. If you don't take an umbrella or a raincoat, you will regret later in the day.
So when you meet English people, they often talk about one thing, the weather. You can say, "Nice weather for the time of year!"
"But it was a little cold yesterday," somebody may answer.
"But it got a bit warmer later!" you can say.
Talk like this, and the English will think, how friendly you are! Talking about the weather can mean more than just trying to make a conversation with a stranger. The weather is everywhere and it affects everyone, so if you meet a stranger or if you are introduced to someone, it is the perfect way to start a conversation!

I have been very busy since I became a volunteer for the Riding for the Disabled Association. Every Saturday, I help to get the horsesfor the disabled (残疾) riders. Many more disabled people want to ridethan you'd imagine. It's a disadvantage that I don't know how to ride—I'd love to get on long rides with the riders—but I'll learn soon . Right now, I'm just happy to be able to lead the horses around for the disabled riders.
I'mhelping to organize a sale, which will benext month. It's a lot more work than helping the disabled. I need to collect second-hand things to sell at the sale. There arethings available (获得的) than I thought, but I'm sure we'll have enough next month.
I hope the sale raises more money than last month's work. It was rainy, so too few people took part in the event. Last week, we held an auction (拍卖). The auction took much lessto organize than the work. , for some reason, peopletoo little money for the things, so we didn't raise enough money.
