Упр. 8. Вы получили эту открытку от своих родных. Прочтите ее.
Dear Vera,
At last I am in London. I like everything here, especially the red buses and telephone booths. Here you can see both single and double deck buses. At the bus stop you read the routes, the numbers and their times. The sign ‘Request stop’ means that buses stop only if your hold out your hand.
The traffic in London keeps to the left and you must be very careful when you cross the street.
Yours, Mila.

I am sure it’s going to snow.

5. – My favourite season is spring.
–It becomes warmer and the days are lighter and longer.
–Do you like spring?
–Oh, yes, I do. I think everyone likes spring but I prefer summer. I like to grow vegetables,
pick up berries and go mushrooming.
–Oh, I see.
Какая температура сегодня?
Пятнадцать градусов выше нуля.
Сегодня мороз, но нет ветра.
Да, так и есть.
На улице холодно, не так ли?
Да, и ветрено тоже. Похоже на дождь. Боюсь, что так. В такую погоду я предпочитаю сидеть дома, смотреть ТВ или читать книгу. Становится холодно.
Я уверен, что пойдет снег. Разве ты не знаешь, какой прогноз погоды на сегодня? Нет.
День будет холодный и солнечный. Пойдет снег, как говорит прогноз.
Мое любимое время года весна.

the weather in England, just wait for 5 minutes».
Ты любишь такую погоду?
Ну, конечно же нет.
Я чувствую сонливость. Небо покрыто тучами.
Дороги мокрые и грязные.
Осень.
Климат в вашей стране мягче, чем в Белоруссии или России?
Конечно. Реки никогда не замерзают, иногда идет снег, но снег никогда не лежит долго.
А люди довольны климатом?
О, нет. Как они говорят, погода как в Лондоне меняется каждые три часа. Есть даже пословица «если вы недовольны погодой в Англии, подождите всего лишь 5 минут.»
