As a famous American writer, Mark Twain, once said, “Everybody talks about weather, but nobody anything about it.” It is true that everybody talks about the weather. Many people
their talks by saying, “Isn’t it a nice ?” “Do you think it will rain?” “I think it’s going to snow.”
A large number of people think they can tell the weather is going to be like. However, they ever agree with each other. One man may say, “Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It’s going to rain tomorrow.” Another man say, “Yes, it’s cloudy in the east. We are going to have fine weather tomorrow.”
People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell him it’s going to rain and he won’t believe else. When friends have a picnic, they are so the weather is going to be fine that they sit their lunch while it is raining.
Almost everyone listens to what the weatherman says. But he doesn’t always tell us what we want and sometimes he makes a mistake. Still, he is most of the time.
