Question

When it comes to the word to describe the weather in the UK, “dramatic” is the first word coming to my mind.

If you’ve ______ about the basic introductory articles about the UK, you may know “whether” is always an easy-to-use topic to start a conversation ______ you come across a stranger. A typical (典型的) start of a conversation between two people ______ at the door of a store may be like, “It’s rainy again,” one says, and the other goes, “Yeah. You ______ to take an umbrella as well?” The former (前者) may respond, “Obviously. Haha.”

You may also have heard about a saying that “How’s the weather in the UK? Well, ______, it’s pretty good. It only rains twice a year. One is four months, and the other is eight months.” Even though it’s a ______, it tells almost the truth about how terrible the weather can be in the UK. The first ______ will be warm sunshine place when they plan for travelling. That’s why the coast in Spain and Italy has been the most ______ tourist destinations among the British.

The weather forecast of BBC is the most boring TV program, ______ you always need to prepare for the rain no matter what the weathermen say.
