• hello Joanna, how are you?

• Hi Luca. I'm great! I'm on holiday in Australia.

• Oh, that's cool. What's the weather like in Australia?

• It's sunny and hot: it's summer here. What's the weather like in Italy?

• It's winter here: today it's windy and cloudy.

• Is it cold?

• Yes, it is. It's very cold. But I'm not on holidays: I'm studying now...

• Oh, no…

A rainy Halloween

• Hi Kate, where are you?

• I'm home.

• Oh, let's go for a walk at the beach.

• But it's raining and I haven't got an umbrella.

• What are you doing?

• I'm reading a book: it's a ghost story, I love it...

• Ghosts? Oh yes: it's Halloween time! Bats, skeletons, witches...

• Yeah, I like scary stories... And what are you doing?

• I'm walking and singing in the rain with my umbrella. I like the rain!

Cheer up, George!

• Hi George, how are you?

• I'm all right...

• Let's go and play. Let's go and jump in puddles. It's a rainy day and there are lots of puddles in the park.

• But I haven't got an umbrella!

• Don't worry: it's very wet but it's not raining now.

• Is it cold?

• No, it isn't. It's warm; I'm wearing a shirt and blue jeans.

• Ok, let's go.

Let’s go to the mountains

• Good morning! Wake up! Let's go skiing: it's a beautiful snowy day. The sun is shining and there's a lot of snow in the mountains.

• Wow, great! I love skiing! Is it very cold?

• Oh yes, it's freezing: I'm wearing my scarf and gloves, and my hat, too.

• Brr…

• Let’s go!

An international phone-call

• Hello Peter.

• Hi Jane, how are you?

• I'm fine; and you?

• I'm ok, a bit sleepy: I'm watching TV on my sofa; I'm drinking a hot chocolate – it’s delicious!

• Why? I'm going to play tennis: it's a nice, warm spring day here in Rome. What's the weather like in Paris?

• Oh, here it's terrible: it's snowing and it's extremely cold. I think I'm going to bed now...
