Activity 3: Read the paragraph and find out what words have been removed before or after the underlined words.
Technology isn’t the only way to forecast the weather.Nature has its ways, too. Unusual animal behaviour, for example, can indicate whether it’s cold, wet weather that’s on the way or a hot, dry period. If fish are jumping higher than usual or frogs are croaking more loudly, it may rain. And next time you look up at the sky, don’t just look for rain clouds, but also for birds.If they are flying low, grab your umbrella. It is also said that mice and snakes head for safer ground several days before an earthquake, while dogs avoiding the beach may be a sign that a tsunami is approaching. Of course, although these things may suggest something bad is going to happen, they won’t tell us when and where. So, for accurate and reliable predictions, it’s best to check an official, scientific report.

And it’s the hottest on the whole Tube system.2 Because there is no air conditioning inside the train and it is even hotter than outside, so he feels very uncomfortable and he hopes he can make it to Bank station.

For thousands of years, people have been trying to predict the weather. In China during the Shang Dynasty, people recorded weather forecasts on animal bones and tortoise shells. Centuries later, in Greece, the philosopher, Aristotle wrote his theories about how weather conditions formed. Weather forecasting advanced over time, with more and more instruments to measure temperature, humidity and air pressure. Today, satellite data and computer technology help scientists predict the weather more precisely.
