Unit 1.3. What's the weather like?

Imagine you have to describe a kind of weather to someone who has

never experienced it before � for example, a snowstorm or the sound of
a hurricane or strong wind. Start with phrases such as the following: It
looks like . . . It sounds like . . . It makes you think of . . . It makes you
feel .

Write a paragraph trying to "paint a picture" with words, so the person

reading your description could visualize the kind of weather you are
describing. Use the adjectives you learned in the vocabulary section of
this week. As a conclusion, include a couple of recommendations about
what people should do in this kind of weather (remember to use the
subjunctive).

Write your paragraph on the clipboard, save it on a text document and

send it to your instructor by mail.

Solution

- The day does not look like yesterday, the sky looks dark, very cold
and windy, the temperature is lower than normal, and it seems that it
will rain today. The sounds and strong lightning’s make me think that a
strong storm is approaching. I remember that time in Canada when it
rained; where strong lightning and winds raged in the downtown park,
many cars and umbrellas were damaged and some people were seriously
injured. This day makes me think that it will happen the same that is why
we must take precautionary measures. The weather makes me she feels
good although a little worried. As a recommendation it is necessary to
shelter well and stay at home.

This is an off-line non-synchronic exercise.

Hi Mum,

John and I are having a wonderful time here in Ireland. Every day
we get up early and go for a long walk in the country. When
we return we usually have a very big Irish breakfast which
normally consists of two eggs, three slices of bacon, toast and jam.
We usually order a cup of coffee after breakfast: Colombian coffee, of
course.

After breakfast we sometimes go swimming in the river. We

often meet children who like to swim there. They are very nice. At
night we nearly always drink a few pints of Guinness in the pub�s bar
before we go to bed. We always sleep well after that, I can assure you.

Dear Simon,

First of all, thank you for trusting me and lending me your flat while I'm in your city.
During my stay I would like to make new friends, to visit beautiful places and take
photos. When I went to pick up the keys, Sarah was very kind to me and told me where
your flat was. While I was installing myself in the room, I wanted to turn on the heating
because it was very cold, but I couldn't find the "on/off" switch. You should place it in a
more visible place. I would like to enjoy the meals offered by that restaurant that you
mentioned, is one of my hobbies. I don't know whether to go today in the afternoon or
tomorrow, better in the morning. Now in the afternoon I plan to rest and have some tea.
I will take into account that festival, to invite your friend Sarah. Don't worry; I'll take
care of your house while you're gone.

Greetings,

John.
