Read the Jokes: The First Ray "What time do you get up in summer?" "When the first ray (луч) of the sun comes into my window." "Isn't that rather early?" "No, my room faces west (обращена на запад)". *** Teacher: What is the difference between weather and climate? Pupil: Climate lasts all the time, but weather a few days.
Ответ:
Анализ шуток:
- Первый луч: Эта шутка основана на игре слов и логической несостыковке. Ответ человека, который встает с первым лучом солнца, кажется ранним, но когда выясняется, что его окно выходит на запад, это означает, что он видит закат, а не восход. Таким образом, он встает поздно, а не рано.
- Погода и климат: Шутка ученика основана на упрощенном, но по сути верном определении. Климат действительно долгосрочная характеристика, а погода – краткосрочная. Ученик обыгрывает это, представляя климат как нечто вечное, а погоду – как кратковременное явление.

CLIMATE AND WEATHER You must know from your geography lessons that climate is the average weather conditions of a place; it is made up of the average summer and winter temperature, the amount of sunshine, the direction of the winds, the average rainfall and so on. Climate may be hot, cold, dry, wet, mild, tropical, sub- tropical and continental. Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at a certain time or over a certain short period. Weather is connected with atmospheric pressure, temperature, rainfall, cloudiness, and wind. Weather can be good, bad, fine, excellent, beautiful, rainy, snowy, stormy, dry, hot, cold, cool, warm, pleasant. Samuel Johnson, an English author of the 18th cen-tury, said: When two Englishmen meet, their first talk is of the weather". This is true because the weather on the British Isles is always uncertain. "Other countries have a climate; in England we have weather". This statement is often made by Englishmen to describe the meteorological conditions of their country. Because the weather can change quickly in Britain it's useful to be able to find out what kind of weather to expect in the next day or two. Information about the weather that's likely to come is called a weather forecast, though it's often included with information about recent weather in a weather report. There are regular local and national weather reports on television and radio during the day and in the evening. You can also get weather reports by phone. Mark the difference between: • climate and weather; • a weather forecast and a weather report; • climate in England and on the continent.
