So personally, I like warm, sunny weather and I dislike very cold, stormy, and rainy weather. How do you or your family check the weather forecast? How do you and your family check the weather forecast? We usually check the weather forecast on our phones or on a weather app. What is the weather usually like at this time of year where you live? Um, what is the weather usually like? At this time of year, where you live? So at this time of year, it's usually cool and cloudy. It can also be rainy and windy because the following questions too. Try to answer these questions as well. About you. And now we are moving on to vocabulary: Extreme Weather. Look at the photos. Let's look at the photos. What is happening in each one?

A flood. The streets are full of water. C. There is a snowstorm and it's snowing heavily and people are walking in deep snow. D. There has been an earthquake.

You know, no electricity for a while. I don't know whether this was because the wind blew so hard or if it was the type of snow that fell. Speaker two: My family used to live just outside the Australian city of Canberra. On that day, there was a storm. It was so hot and dry. Then we had a lightning storm and that's what started the fire. And with it, a fire tornado. Awesome to watch, but really scary, too. I'll never forget it. Speaker three: I live in a fishing village in Cornwall, which is in the southwest of Britain. We've had plenty of bad weather, so we all know what to do in case of a flood. Last week, so much rain fell that the river rose two meters above normal. It poured for hours. We watched the dirty water flow along our street as it flooded our village. Speaker four: There was a big earthquake a few years ago. The earth shook and then the roads opened up and lots of buildings fell down. Since then, we have had smaller ones and lots of them. It can be pretty scary, but now everyone knows what they have to do. Okay. So the first speaker, um, so told us about a snowstorm, the second about a forest fire, about a fire tornado. Yes.
