Many Americans like talking about the weather. They have a lot to talk about. People have always tried to forecast the weather. In the old times they only guessed or based it on what the weather was like in the past.

Today people use radars, satellite (спутниковые) pictures and computers. All these instruments help them to make weather pictures. Some people try to forecast the weather for a whole (целый) year or a whole season. Each November, the United States Weather Service forecasts what the weather will be like. And each year, Americans read a forecast for the whole year in the Old Farmer’s newspaper.

Both the Weather Service and the Old Farmer’s newspaper use information about past years. They combine (соединяют) it with the information from satellites (спутников), balloons, radar stations and ships at sea. Then a computer gives a report. Such reports are very important for many Americans.

Americans may not like a lot of their weather, but they certainly like to talk about it.

1. Read the article from a children’s magazine. Choose the best title for the article.

a) Clothes in Britain.

b) British people don’t care for clothes.

c) Formal clothes in Britain.

These days most people in Britain do not wear very formal clothes. But sometimes it is important to wear the right thing. Many British people don’t think about clothes very much. They like being comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At the theatres, cinemas and concerts they can wear what they like – from jeans and sweaters to T-shirts and shorts. Anything is OK as long as you look clean and neat (аккуратный).

But men in offices usually wear suits and ties (галстук) and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers (юристы) and businessmen wear formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men wear ties and women wear smart dresses. Jeans and open shirts are sometimes not allowed (не разрешаются). It is difficult to say exactly (точно) what people wear in Britain because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and do the same (то же самое). Or ask the advice of a friend. You’ll be more comfortable if you don’t look different from everyone else.
