It is well-know ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n that the English go out with an umbrella or a raincoat. Why Because the weather in Britain often changes quickly.
Spring can be rainy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) or windy, but the weather is getting warmer and you can hope more sunny days. In fact there can be as much sunshine in spring as in summer.

It might snow, especially on high land and in the north. The wind is strong, too.
January and February ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )are the coldest months of the year, and the warmest are July and August. The difference in temperature between winter and summer is not so great in Britain. The average (平均的) temperature for winter is about 4.5℃, and for summer about 15.5℃.

About two yea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs ago, my wife, Cathy, got a little dog. We named her Gertie.
I decided to train th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e dog. So I sent her to the Petsmart Training School. But this didn’t go well. At 15 weeks old, she was nearly made to leave us. Because she spent every night lying on our bed snoring (打鼾) so loudly that I couldn’t have a good sleep.
Then, about six months ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) later, I felt that something began to change. I began to smile at people when meeting them in a street. I started calling my kids, and to my surprise, they started calling me. I even tried to speak to my grandchildren over the phone.

Dear Angel,
It’s good to hear tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t you may visit Maoming. I think the best time to come here is in October. The weather is usually cool in the morning, but it’s kind of hot in the daytime and in the evening. You like swimming and the First Beach is a good place to swim. Make sure to bring your swimming clothes. It’s also a good idea to bring your camera because of the beautiful sea views. And the Forest Park is also a wonderful place to visit and take photos. Here there’s little rain but always much sunlight in autumn, so don’t forget to bring your umbrella or hat.
Looking forward to your coming.
Yours,
Zhang Lei
