“Oh, it rains so hard,” Grace says.
Grace is a 28-year-old worker in New York, America. She is walking to the subway station. The big rain floods the streets (淹没街道). When she comes to the station, the subway stops. She has to leave and find other ways. On the streets, some people walk to work. And some even fight with others for a taxi.
Grace runs quickly to the bus station. It will take her more time to go to work. She feels so terrible. And it’s not easy to get on the bus. There are too many people.
After a long time, she arrives. She is late. Also, she is wet. She leaves water everywhere she goes.
It’s 5:00 pm. Grace can go home. Before she goes home, she gets an e-mail from Garth, her boss (老板). Grace sees the message in the e-mail.
I must thank all of you. You do your best to get to work in such bad weather. Thanks for your hard work.
Garth’s e-mail is short, but Grace learns a lot. The e-mail teaches her that it is important to show others thanks. The big rain makes her feel terrible, but Garth’s words (话语) make her happy again.

When the rain is on the way, the ants will move their houses from the low places to the high places, because they are afraid the rain will submerge their homes.
When it's going to rain, the frogs will stay in the water and make big noise with “ croak, croak”. But if it is a fine day, the frogs will be out of the water and make big noise.

Do you like rainy days Maybe most of you will say no, even though(尽管) rain is very important. Some people even feel bored or sad on rainy days. In English, many expressions(表达) also use rain to show difficulties or hard times.
“When it rains, it pours” is a popular expression. This means when one bad thing happens, many other bad things often follow.
“Come rain or shine” is another expression. It means you will not let anything stop you from doing what you want. But in fact, sometimes you can’t do that because rain does affect(影响) your plans.
Let’s suppose(假设) you plan a big outdoor party for all your friends. Unluckily(不幸地), on the day of the party, it “rains cats and dogs”—
in other words, it rains heavily.
However, when you “save something for a rainy day”, it means you choose(选择) to put it safely away for future use. Usually, we use this expression for saving money. But you can save anything for a rainy day.
