19 分钟Hi there.
This is teacher Harry back again with another lesson.
Hopefully you've enjoyed the previous lessons.
And today we're going to look at some small talk issues.
So we're going to look at talking about the weather because it's an ideal and really good topic for small talk, particularly with british and indeed irish people when they are living in islands that are surrounded by water.
The weather is, is a really, really important topic.
It's the center of attention.
Every day you wake up, you have to check outside the window to see what is happening because you want to know what to wear.
So it's not like living on the continent when you know it's going to be sunny or you know it's going to be.
To be wet.
So we have to check it all the time.
So, as I said, it makes an ideal small talk conversation piece.
So what I'm going to try and do for you is to give you some situations that you'll find useful and then give you an explanation as to what those weather conditions mean so that you will be able to join in those sort of conversations at ease.
Okay, so let's work on with this.
So, first of all, I'm going to give you four situations which will be questions you can ask about weather conditions.
So, for example, what's it like outside?
What's the weather like?
What's the weather forecast?
How is it looking outside?
These are just the questions that people would normally ask their partner or somebody in the house or in the office when they get up first or they haven't been out.
