March brings breezes loud and shrill,
Stirs the dancing daffodil.
April brings the primrose sweet,
Scatters daisies at our feet,
May brings flocks of pretty lambs
Skipping by their fleecy dams.
June brings tulips, lilies, roses,
Fills the children’s hands with posies.
Hot July brings cooling showers,
Strawberries and gillyflowers.
August brings the sheaves of corn,
Then the Harvest home is borne.
Warm September brings the fruit,
Sportsmen then begin to shoot.
Fresh October brings the pheasant,
Dull November brings the blast,
Then to gather nuts is pleasant,
Then the leaves are falling fast.
Chill December brings the sleet,
Blazing fire and Christmas treat.
Exercise 2.
a) Listen to this weather forecast for the British Isles.
b) What is today’s weather forecast where you are?
Tapescript: The Weather
.
And now here is the weather forecast for the next twenty-four hours for the
whole of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Ah starting with
Southern England and the Midlands, well it’ll be mainly dry and sunny, but
quite cold, with temperatures around six or seven degrees Celsius. It should stay
dry all day, but there’ll be quite a wind, so wrap up warm.
And the West country, Wales and Northern Ireland. You can expect some
rain in the morning and afternoon and quite strong north easterly winds, and the
temperature will be lower than yesterday, around the three or four degrees mark.
I don’t think you’ll see much of the sun: cloudy all day, I’m afraid. The East
coast of England will see the best of today’s weather. It’ll be warmer than yes-
terday, no winds, and sunshine, so quite warm for the time of year.
In Scotland and Northern Ireland, however, there will be heavy rain and
maybe some snow during the afternoon, and on the hills temperatures will drop
to below freezing, minus four and five, and on the highest spots minus ten. Over
much of Scotland it will be cloudy, and windy too as the cold front moves in
