Lesson 3

Preparation

Weather

On a cloudy day, clouds make different shapes

as they slowly scud in the sky.

It’s time to bring out an umbrella; it may rain

late in the afternoon.

It’s cold and chilly when it snows, so you have

to wear your winter clothes.

It could be dangerous to go outside on a stormy day.
