The climate of the usa
A.: Hello, Andrew! Aren’t you in a hurry? Can you help me?
B.: Hello, Boris! What’s the matter?
A.: You see, today at the English classes, we’ll discuss the climate of the USA. I haven’t managed to get enough information about it. But I’ve heard you have already discussed this topic at your classes.
B.: You are absolutely right. I’ll try to help you. There are different climatic zones on the territory of the USA. Besides, the weather is very changeable.
A.: Oh, yes! I do understand the reason of it. Being crossed by the mountain chains from the north to the south, the country is visited by cold winds from the north, warm winds from the south.
B.: Good for you! And try to memorize the following: on the Pacific Coast – mild summers, cool winters, much rain; inland southwest – it is very hot because of the desert and semidesert. Weather patters in southeast are similar to northeast, but warmer …
A.: Sorry for interrupting you. And what about Alaska and Hawaii?
B.: Oh, the climate is quite different there. It is very cold on Alaska, and on Hawaii the climate is tropical.
A.: Yes, I do know about it.
B.: Don’t forget, that on the whole, the climate in the USA is continental.
A.: A thousand thanks!
B.: Not at all. It was a real pleasure for me to do it.
