The Weather in England The English say “Other countries have a climate, in England we have weather”. It happens because the weather changes more often than in other countries. In spring sunshine and showers follow each other so often during the day that an umbrella or a raincoat is absolutely necessary in England. The weather changes so frequently that it is difficult to forecast. The weather in spring is generally mild but sometimes the days are really fresh. Spring is the season when nature awakens from its long winter sleep: the temperature grows, the sky becomes blue, and the sun grows warmer. Everything is full of new life again. The days grow longer and warmer; the ground gets covered with green grass. Summer is the hottest season in England. The sunrays become hot, the days are long, and the nights are short and warm. It's time for holidays, when people go to the seaside for sunbathing and swimming. It usually gets hot in July. The summer nights are short, but they are wonderful. As for autumn it isn't so nice. It's a season of winds and beautiful sunsets. The leaves turn yellow and reddish and fall to the ground and the birds migrate to warm countries. In autumn the days become shorter. In England September and October are warm and dry, but November is the foggiest month. Late autumn is generally an unpleasant season. The trees look bare. The flowers have faded away. The sky is overcast with low clouds. Everything looks gloomy. In winter in England they can hardly forecast their weather. Sometimes it rains and sometimes it snows. In England it isn't so cold in winter as in our country and they don't get so much snow as we get here in Ukraine. The rivers in England never freeze, that's why children there go skating very seldom
Погода в Англии
Англичане говорят: «В других странах климат, в Англии у нас погода». Это происходит потому, что погода меняется чаще, чем в других странах. Весной солнечные лучи и ливни следуют друг за другом так часто в течение дня, что зонтик или дождевой плащ абсолютно необходим в Англии. Погода меняется так часто, что трудно прогнозировать. Погода обычно мягкая, но иногда дни действительно свежие. Весна - это сезон, когда природа просыпается от долгого зимнего сна: температура повышается, небо становится синим, и солнце становится теплее. Все снова наполнено новой жизнью. Дни становятся длиннее и теплее, земля покрывается зеленой травой. Лето - самое жаркое время года в Англии. Солнечные лучи становятся горячими, дни длинные, а ночи короткие и теплые. Время отпусков, когда люди идут на море загорать и купаться. В июле обычно жарко. Летние ночи короткие, но они замечательные , Что касается осени, это не так приятно. Это сезон ветров и красивых закатов. Листья желтеют, краснеют и падают на землю, а птицы мигрируют в теплые страны. Осенью дни становятся короче. В Англии сентябрь и октябрь теплые и сухие, но ноябрь самый туманный месяц. Поздняя осень, как правило, неприятное время года. Деревья выглядят голыми. Цветы исчезли. Небо пасмурно с низкими облаками. Все выглядит мрачно. Зимой в Англии они вряд ли могут предсказать свою погоду. Иногда идет дождь, а иногда идет снег. В Англии зимой не так холодно, как в нашей стране, и снега не так много, как у нас в Украине. Реки в Англии никогда не замерзают, поэтому дети там катаются на коньках очень редко.

To deny the importance of learning English these days is more than stupid. This applies to all areas of our lives: life, work, education, communication. You, of course, can argue and say that your life is tied up in this work, you communicate in a certain circle where no one speaks English, and therefore you absolutely do not need. But who among us did not face such a problem as reading a sign on the street or expanding the instruction on the use of something with a foreign language. Here comes the turn of the English language. It will help you not only to uncover what is now hidden from you, but also help to get more information, to have knowledge about the world around you and simply broaden your horizons. Learning English is a necessary school, a base that will be useful to you in life and in which you will never regret. And if you went beyond the limits of your country, then there is no way to do without the knowledge of a foreign language. Even for moving up the career ladder, English can become a key factor. Therefore, it is never too late to start attending English classes where you will master his knowledge.The meaning of English in the life of modern man is very difficult to overestimate. It is considered one of the most popular in the world - English language is rightfully left to interethnic communication, which is easily accessible in any country.

A good school of English and quality language skills is freedom of movement and rich opportunities to build your life and business, just as you would like it to.
