1. a)
   Complete the following text with suitable words.

The
single greatest influence on Japanese weather is the wind. During the
summer it (1)………. from the Pacific, causing (2) ………. and
humid weather, but in winter, the north-westerly (3) …………

weather when the rice fields get the water vital for the growth.
After that, there is less (6) …………… rain, but the air is
still (7) ………….. . Autumn, however, is drier, and usually
very pleasant.

b)
Describe the weather in your own country, its specific part or your
own region. Use topical vocabulary (point 3).

1. a)
   Read the text about life in the Nordic countries and find:

• another
  word for ‘Nordic’, used to refer to countries such as Norway;

• manufactured
  items produced in those countries;

• items
  of clothing important for a cold country;

• examples
  of winter sports

The
region north of the Arctic Circle is known as ‘The
land of the midnight sun’ because the sun never sinks below the
horizon during the summer time. This means that in the winter the sun
never rises above the horizon and there is very little sunlight.

Try
to imagine living in a country where sometimes there are only a few
hours of daylight for the winter months of the year. People wake up
in the dark, go to work in the dark and return home at night in the
dark. Normal temperatures are often around 0⁰
C, although they can drop much lower and outdoors everyone wears
furs, hats, boots, gloves and scarves to keep warm. Ordinary trees
and houses, mountains and parks are suddenly transformed by the
brilliance and sparkle of snow and ice, which make the long dark
nights seem lighter.

Scandinavia
is famous for its glassware, candles and light wooden furniture. In
winter you quickly understand why. Candles burn in houses and in the
windows of hotels, shops and restaurants. Shop windows glitter with
displays of crystal vases, glass tableware and sculptures as well as
brightly colored wooden toys and jewelry made of local gemstones. All
of those things bring color and light to winter days.

Of
course, with ice and snow come the winter sports. Skis come in many
shapes and sizes as Scandinavian children usually learn to ski at a
very early age. Although downhill skiing in the mountains is popular,
cross-country skiing is also common and can be practiced in the
flatter parts of the region. Snowboarding, which is rather like
surfing, is also common on the ski slopes, particularly among the
younger skiers. Ice sports are popular, too. Not only can you go ice
skating on many of the thousands of frozen lakes but fishing through
a hole in the ice is also popular.

b)
Say as many words as possible about your reaction to life in a cold
climate. Include what you found strange or surprising, what the
advantages and disadvantages might be and whether or not you would
like to live in a cold place.

1. a)
   There are a lot of sayings and expressions with weather in English.
   Here are ten well-known ones for you to match with their meanings.

8. Gone with the wind	h. in any event, whatever happens
9. Saving for a rainy day	i. someone usually profits from every misfortune
