    Esl Weather Conversations

    Conversation 1

    Situation: Lucy and Jane talk about the weather and eating lunch.

    Jane: Hi, do you want to go and get some lunch?

    Lucy: Yes that would be great.

    Jane: I want to try the new café on the corner of the High Street.

    Lucy: Are you sure, it’s very small and we may have to sit outside.
    Jane: Yes that’s why I want to go. It’s autumn already and the weather might not be good for eating outside again until
    the spring.

    Lucy: It looks as if it might rain soon. There has been some drizzle this morning.

    Jane: No, the sky is clear and you can see the sun. That will make it warm.

    Lucy: But there’s a gusty wind that makes it a bit chilly.

    Jane: We can wear out coats. It’s been overcast for weeks. I want to sit in the sun for a bit.

    Lucy: Ok, but if it starts to snow we have to go inside, alright.

    Conversation 2

    Situation: It has snowed and Tui is excited as it is the first time she has seen snow.

    Tui: Hi. Isn’t the snow great? I’ve been playing in it all morning.

    Andrew: Yes, new snow makes everything look very pretty and white.

    Jane: Snow is nice at the start, but when it’s turning to slush it gets nasty.

    Tui: Maybe, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen snow. It’s great.

    Jane: Do you ever have snow in Thailand?

    Tui: No, we never have snow. It’s too hot.

    Andrew: So this must be fun?

    Tui: Yes very fun. I stayed up late last night watching the snowstorm as the gusts of wind blew the snow.

    Jane: Then this morning the sky was clear and the sun was shining on the new snow. That was good to see.

    Tui: How long will the snow last before it melts?

    Andrew: If the weather and temperature stay cold at about zero degrees Celsius then the snow could be here for several
    days or a week.
