Tonight, my father meets Jennifer Lawrence. His company Someone who is really loving his job …
won an award for the things they do to get a greener
planet. A project Jennifer Lawrence supports, apparently.
So I repeat: tonight, my father meets JENNIFER LAWRENCE!
And the thing he’s worried about most is the weather.
Because there's a barbecue planned and the weather
forecast predicts storm.
The thing I worry about the most is that I have to stay
home … Because my father has a job to do. It’s a hell of a
job, but someone‘s got to do it …

Brian is talking with his friend Amy from Yorkshire via Skype. You are Brian. Your partner is Amy.
Talk about the weather. Use the following structure.
Brian Tomorrow, it is going to be … here.

Amy Really? I wish I was in Perth. It is … here right now. But tomorrow, it is going to be …
Brian On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday it is going to be … Sunset is …
Amy Sunset here is … Does it never rain in Australia?
Brian Not this week.
Now talk about the weather without using the structure.
e.g. What is the weather going to be like in Yorkshire tomorrow?

It is going to be sunny in the morning but windy in the afternoon.
Is it going to be cold in Australia tomorrow?
No, it is going to be hot, 32°C.

8 What do you do when … ?
Complete these sentences, using the simple present.
1) When it is sunny, I ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ .
2) When it is rainy, I ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ .
3) When it is windy, I ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ .
4) When it is snowy, I ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ .
5) When it is cloudy, I __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ .
6) When it is foggy, I _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ .
7) When it is hailing, I __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ .
8) When it is stormy, I _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ .
Now, play the following game.
Divide yourselves into groups. Take turns asking the question “What do
you do when it is … ?” followed by the different types of weather. If two of
you have matching answers (e.g. you both like to go to the beach when it is
sunny), you both get one point. Continue asking and answering questions
until you have read all your sentences. Whoever has the highest number of
points in the end wins the game.

The storm starts, when the drops start dropping; When the drops stop
dropping then the storm starts stopping.

You can’t get mad at weather because weather’s not about you.
Apply that lesson to most other aspects of life.
Douglas Coupland
10 Read this weather report and answer the questions.
Good evening. This is Mike Robbins with the weather forecast. It’s almost the weekend and a lot of people are
going away. But should they? We are going to look at the European weather forecast for Saturday.
Let’s start in England. It’s going to be wet and cloudy and you can expect a hurricane.
If you are tired of the rain, you can go to Italy. In Italy, there’s going to be a drought.
Denmark in the meantime is suffering its third blizzard of the year.
Many people predict there are going to be earthquakes in Spain this weekend, so that’s not the place to go to
either.
If you really want to leave the house, we suggest you visit France. It is going to be sunny with a temperature of
25 degrees Celsius over there.
What does this weather report give you? Is it talking about a plan, an intention?
Or is it a hope, a dream, a promise?

Going to future
form:
simple present of to be + going to + infinitive
I am going to talk.
You are
He / she is
We are
You are
They are
I am not going to talk.

You are
He / she is
We are
You are
They are
Am I going to talk?
Are you
Is he / she
Are we
Are you
Are they
use:
To talk about an intention, plan. Something someone wants to do, not necessarily planned. It is an
idea in a person’s head, it can still change.
John is going to clean his car. (John wants to clean his car.)
To express the opinion of the speaker about something.

It is going to rain. (I think it is going to rain, look at these clouds!)
When talking, people often use “gonna” instead of “going to”.

When writing however, this is considered slang language.

4. Mouth gymnastics
Phrases and pauses (stress)
14 When listening to English, you may think it is difficult to understand because it goes too
fast. And perhaps you would like to speak faster. But people don’t speak fast and non-stop.
They speak in short phrases and they stop or pause in between the phrases. Listen to the
following story and mark the pauses with a “/”.
Britons spend six months/talking about weather/

You must talk/about how rainy May has been so far,/or how sunny April was before?/ You can't stop remarking /
on the coldest winter in years?/Do not worry./You are not alone./For Britons spend an average of six months of
their lives/talking about the weather. Lloyd TSB interviewed 2,000 people/and found they spent far longer talking
about the weather/than that other national obsession - football -/or trivial matters like one's job./Weather was
the most common subject/to break the ice when addressing strangers/or even at business meetings,/according
to the report./The weather changes every day,/so you have something new to talk about every morning./
source: Daily telegraph, 14 May 2010
Now practise reading the story aloud yourself. Make sure you pause!

6. Did you know?

Celsius vs. Fahrenheit
In a weather forecast there are two ways to indicate the temperature:
4°C or 39°F
We always use Celsius to indicate the temperature, but a lot of English speaking countries use Fahrenheit.
0°C = 32 °F
100°C = 212°F
Formulae: y°F = (y-32) x 5/9°C
y°C = (y x 9/5) + 32 °F
20°C 1832°F
35°C 14 °F
-10°C 68°F
1000°C 95°F
Look up the weather forecast for the next three days. What are the maximum and minimum
temperatures in Celsius and Fahrenheit?

Present continuous: use

• We use a present tense to talk about a present period.
• We use a present continuous tense when we want to say that the action is going on in the
present. We usually see this action as temporary.
• Some verbs are not normally used in the continuous because they express a state rather than an
action.
e.g. to know, to remember, to understand, to believe, to cost, to mean, to like, to love, to want,
to prefer
50 Complete the sentences. Use a present continuous. Also indicate why you use this tense.

Lemon tree - Fools Garden
I'm sitting here in the boring room

It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
I'm sitting here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
Put myself into bed
While nothing ever happens and I wonder
Isolation is not good for me
Isolation I don't want to sit on the lemon-tree
I'm steppin' around in the desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen and you wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
And I wonder, wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
And all that I can see, and all that I can see, and all that I can see
Is just a yellow lemon-tree

The good girl sings well
Adjectives and adverbs of manner

An adjective describes a noun (a person or a thing) or is linked with it by a form of to be.
a beautiful girl
She is beautiful.
a fluent speech
The speech is fluent.
An adverb describes how something goes on or is done and often modifies a verb.
She sings beautifully.
He speaks fluently.
We make the adverb by adding –ly to the adjective.

Slow + ly = slowly
Quick + ly = quickly
Happy + ly = happily
! Some adjectives and adverbs have the same form (fast, hard, friendly).
! The adverb of good is well.
! after verbs you can replace by to be (such as seem, become, remain, keep, stay, sound, smell, taste,
feel, look) you use an adjective, not an adverb.
