ДАЙТЕ ОТВЕТЫ НА ВОПРОСЫ ОПИРАЯСЬ НА ТЕКСТ ENGLISH WEATHER
The weather in England is very changeable. A fine morning can change into a wet afternoon and evening. And a nasty morning can change to a fine afternoon.
That is why it is natural for the English to use the comparison «as changeable as the weather» of a person who often changes his mood or opinion about something.
• Other countries have a climate, in England we have weather*. This statement is often made by the English to describe meteorological conditions of their country.
The English also say that they have three variants of weather: when it rains in the morning, when it rains in the afternoon or when it rains all day long.
The weather is the favourite conversational topic in England. When two Englishmen meet, their first words will be «How do you do?» or «How are you?». And after the reply «Very well, thank you; how are you?» the next remark is almost certain to be about the weather. When they go abroad the English often surprise people of other nationalities by this tendency to talk about the weather, a topic of conversation that other people do not find so interesting.
The, best time of the year in England is spring (of course, it rains in spring, too). The two worst months in Britain are January and February. They are cold, damp
and unpleasant. The best place in the world then is at home by the big fire in the fireplace.
Summer months are rather cold and there can be a lot of rainy days. So most people who look forward to summer holidays, plan to go abroad in summer to France or somewhere on the Continent.
The most unpleasant aspect of English weather is fog and smog. This is extremely bad in big cities and especially in London. The fog spreads everywhere, it is in
the streets and it creeps into the houses. Cars move along slowly, but still street accidents are frequent in the fog. People cannot see each other. They creep along
the houses touching them with their hands not to lose their way or not to be run over by a car.

5:30 in the morning, and fifteen Tom Conaway already sitting motionless in the wetlands of California in anticipation of the wild animals, to capture them. Soon, thousands of birds are beginning to quack loudly, and Tom was lucky enough to be able to take them up close in their natural habitat. But what makes Tom different from any other filmmaker-wannabe?
When Tom Conaway was only four years old, the car in which he was traveling rolled down from the mountain. He was thrown out of the window, and his spine was severely bruised. Since then, his brain can no longer send impulses to parts of his body, to tell them to move. But Tom does not waste time trying to feel sorry for yourself. "I'll be in a wheelchair for life," he says, "but I think I was lucky. Really. I mean, I've been through a terrible accident and not hurt the brain."
One afternoon, about two years after the accident, dad Tom realized that photography was his hobby, which they both can share. So, Doug Conaway camera tied to a chair Tom so that he could shoot the game Football brother. Now Tom uses a "helmet cam" for the shooting, or the father sets up the camera on a tripod, and Volume controls it through a wireless remote control while watching the camera to a DVD-player screen in his lap. Tom even sees his disability as a secret force that helps him on the set. The fact that it "easy" to sit still means that he can shoot the animals without scaring them! Positive attitude of Tom's amazing. "Everyone passes through the bumps in the road, which need to get used to," he says. "The fact that I'm in a wheelchair - it just bumps in the road"
