THE SEASON (traduceri)SPRING begin on the twenty first of March. The weather gets warmer. The

sun shines brightly in a blue sky. The snow meets quickly and turns into water. The grass and flowers grows. The birds come back.

SUMMER begin on the twenty first of June. The weather is hot. We often have thunderstorms. When the wind blows hard and black clouds cover the sky, we can hear the thunder and see the lightning.

AUTUMN comes after summer. The weather gets cooler and then colder. The leaves fall from the trees. It often rains and we need umbrellas.

WINTER comes last. The snow falls and covers the ground. It is very cold. There is frost and it freezes.aplicatie1.htmaplicatie2.htm

Dialog despre vreme (traduceri)I.

What is the weather like in your country? We have a temperate climate: warm / hot summers, cold winters and cool /

foggy autumns. In spring the weather is very changeable. Well, my country is arid. There is like little rain but when it rains we have

thunderstorms and even hurricanes.

II. What is the weather like in your country? I think that it is what a spring day looks like. At down the sun is just rising.

A cool breeze is blowing from the east but there are no clouds in the sky. Gradually the breeze turns into a wind. Clouds appear and at noon, the sky is overcast. It lights and thunders large raindrops begin to fall. But soon the bright sun shines out again. The air is fresh.

For many years people have said that catching a cold because of cold weather is an old wives’ tale. Now scientists have found that keeping warm really can help stop colds. Researchers from the Common Cold Center at Britain’s Cardiff University have discovered that cold weather is a major cause of catching a cold. The center is the only laboratory in the world that researches and tests new medicines for influenza and colds. The researchers recommend wearing a hat and keeping your feet dry to avoid colds. They also suggest you somehow keep your nose warm when outside in cold weather.

Dr. Ronald Eccles, team leader at the Cold Center, said we are more likely to become ill in cold weather. He said the cold makes the blood vessels in the nose narrower, which reduces our ability to fight viruses inside the nose. Dr. Eccles studied 180 people in his study. Half of his volunteers put their feet in bowls of freezing cold water for 20 minutes, while the others kept their feet dry. Dr. Eccles found that 29 percent of those who kept their feet in the icy water caught colds within five days, compared with nine percent for those who kept their socks on. Dr. Eccles advised children “to wrap up well in winter”.
