WEATHER AND CLIMATEWEATHER AND CLIMATE Where can you go for a holiday? You have a lot of opportunities. Of course, most people would like to go to the south or to the seaside, but you must consider the weather and the season. You may want to go to Siberia, for example. The nature is wonderful there. You will never see such a lot of sparkling white snow. You will enjoy frosty fresh air if you go skiing or bear-hunting, but you should remember that it’s very cold there in winter. The temperature may be about 50 degrees below zero. Some people prefer to spend their holidays in warmer places. There is no warmer place than Africa. It’s warm there all the year round. The sun shines every day, but in summer it’s too hot and sometimes it’s humid there. And you won’t be able to go lion-hunting until the sun sets. But when it starts raining, it may rain the whole week. If you want to get sunburnt it’s the best place. You can get as sunburnt as the natives*. Anyway choosing a place for your holiday you must consider the weather forecast. II. Paul and Alice live in Birmingham. It’s a large city in the Midlands. They’re planning a weekend holiday. Paul: I say, Alice! Why don’t we go to Scotland? Alice: It’s a very long way. Paul: Oh, it isn’t too far. Anyway, the motorway is very good, so we can get there quickly.
