What is the weather like ? | grammar, writing descriptions, pronunciation, vocabulary | ESL & ELT activities

 

In this class, you’ll learn how to talk about the weather in English. Talking about the weather in English can help with your conversation skills. We will teach you phrases, idioms, and vocabulary to describe weather in English.

Do you know what it means if someone says ‘it’s chucking it down today?’ If someone says ‘it’s baking today’, do you know what they are talking about?

British people are famous for talking about the weather. Do you know why? It’s because in the UK we have a lot of weather. You never know what the weather will be like. You can have all four seasons in one day.

We are going to look at a typical British day, so the weather is going to be very changeable. This means that weather can change quickly and unpredictably. It can be sunny, and then 30 minutes later, it will start snowing.

a) Cut a weather map (for Argentina) out from a newspaper or take it from a weather online,

paste it and use it to describe the weather in the provinces of Buenos aires, Mendoza, Córdoba, Tierra del Fuego, Neuquén, Misiones, Jujuy and province of your choice.

Make some of those descriptions for today (present), yesterday (past), tomorrow (future prediction).

b) Now you personalize a weather map for Argentina or a country you prefer.  Add weather symbols and numbers to indicate temperature in 6 regions (provinces, states, cities, etc) and then ask questions and give answers to describe the weather in those 6 regions.

– try to use as many symbols as possible, make it varied (imagine it is summer in one part of the country and winter in another so as to practise as much vocabulary as possible)
