Lesson 10 Weather in Beijing
Weather in Beijing
1.What is the weather like in winter?
Winter is from December to February and it can be very cold. You need to wear an overcoat, gloves and a scarf. The Great Wall is a good place to visit. There’s lots of white snow but there aren’t many tourists.
2.In spring, what is the weather like?
Spring starts with very cool weather in march and it gets warm in April. Then in May, it is hot sometimes. You can wear sweaters and light clothes. It’s usually windy in spring, so you can see lots of people flying kites in Tian’anmen Square.
3.How about summer?
It’s very hot in summer. It’s often sunny but it rains hard sometimes. People wear T-shirts, shorts and skirts. The Summer Palace is a favourite place for tourists in July and August. But remember to go early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
4.Is autumn as good as many people think?
Yes. Autumn is cool and dry. If you have time, spend a day or two at the Fragrant Hills Park. The trees, with their green, yellow, orange and red leaves, are so pretty. But you’ll also see lots of people everywhere. Make sure you wear trainers or comfortable shoes.
Lesson 11 Weather Around the World
And now, time for the weather. It’ll be very cold tomorrow in New York. There’ll be some snow and strong wind. It’ll be snowy and windy, so it won’t be a good day to go sightseeing. In Sydney, Australia, it’ll be hot and sunny in the morning, but it’ll turn cloudy in the afternoon, so go to the beach early! It’ll also be cloudy in Shanghai tomorrow during the day with heavy rain at night. It’ll be rainy over the weekend, too. This is bad news for tourists in Shanghai, but visitors to London will be happy. The rainy weather there will soon be over. Tomorrow, you’ll see lots of sun and it’ll be sunny and warm all week.
Lesson 12 Summer Holiday
Hi, David,
Guess what? I’m writing to you from Beijing! It’s my first summer holiday abroad, and here I am, In China! I’m going to learn Chinese for two weeks at a summer camp. Then my parents are going to join me here. We’re going on a tour around the country. It’s going to be exciting! We’re going to visit the Great Wall and the Palace Museum in Beijing. Then we’re going to be in Xi’an from July 24th to 27th. My dad says he’s going to take lots of photos of the Terracotta Warriors. After that, We’re going to Jiuzhaigou. It’s famous for its beautiful mountains and clear lakes. Our last stop on the trip is Sanya. My mum’s going to spend a lot of time on the beach, but I’m going to swim in the sea every day.
OK, I have to go. I’m going to meet my Chinese penfriend, Mingming. He’s going to take me to the Bird’s Nest tonight. There’s going to be a rock concert there. I can’t wait!
