Talking about the weather is one of the most common ways to start a conversation in almost every culture. We talk about the weather with neighbors in the elevator, with coworkers at the office, with the taxi driver, and with friends on the phone. It is a safe, friendly topic that everyone understands, because everyone lives under the same sky. But the weather is much more than small talk: it affects what we wear, what we eat, how we travel, how we feel, and even how we plan our work and our free time. This morning, when I woke up and opened the curtains, the sky over San Juan was bright blue with only a few small white clouds. The sun was shining, the air felt warm and humid, and a light breeze was moving the palm trees in the street. According to the weather forecast on my phone, today's temperature will reach eighty-eight degrees Fahrenheit, which is about thirty-one degrees Celsius, with humidity around seventy-five percent. That combination of heat and humidity is very typical in Puerto Rico, and it means that even if you are sitting still in the shade, you may start to sweat. Let's talk — 10 questions to discuss with your voice tutor: 1. What is the weather like today in your city? 2. What is your favorite type of weather, and why do you like it? 3. Do you check the weather forecast every day? Where do you check it? 4. How does hot and humid weather affect your daily activities? 5. What do you do differently on a rainy day compared to a sunny day? 6. What clothes do you wear when it is very hot? And when it is cooler? 7. How do you and your family prepare for a storm or hurricane season? 8. Does the weather change your mood? Give an example. 9. What is the perfect weather for a beach day, a walk, and a day at home? 10. Can you describe the most extreme weather you have ever experienced? 📖 La lectura completa llegará en una actualización (la plataforma ahora limita el texto por lección).
