HEALTHY FOOD
What‘s your favorite food? Our reporter showed these two pictures and asked 50 students which they would prefer to eat – 42 chose that picture with fast food. The eight who chose the vegetables were vegetarians. They don‘t eat meat. So they do not like hamburgers. Then our reporter asked the students which picture showed the most healthy food. All the students chose the picture below!

WEATHER SAYINGS
English people have many sayings about the weather. Perhaps this is because English people talk about the weather a lot. English weather is hard to predict, so there are many sayings that are supposed to help you decide what the weather will be like. Many of them are about the possibility of rain. It rains a lot in England. When it rains, many young children sing: Rain, rain, go away, Come again another day! Little Johnny wants to play, Rain, rain, go away.
So, how can you tell if it is going to rain? Here are a few sayings to help you: Red sky in the morning Shepherd’s warning. Red sky at night, Shepherd’s delight.
(This rhyme also works if you replace shepherds with sailors. Anyone working outdoors would be glad if it did not rain!)
Other sayings include:
Rain before seven; fine before eleven. A sunshiny shower won’t last half an hour.
Perhaps, of all weather sayings, this one is the truest (although it is very difficult to say). It is a tongue twister. It is meant to be difficult to say quickly, and makes a joke of the fact that ?weather‘ and ?whether‘ sound the same.
Whether the weather be fine
Or whether the weather be not whatever the weather We’ll weather the weather Whether we like it or not! WORD BANK perhaps 可能 predict 预测
possibility 可能性

AUTUMN POEMS
There are many English poems about the seasons, and about the way the seasons change. LEAVES
All join hands and circle round
While we watch the leaves fall down See them twirling to the ground, See them dancing all around.
See them skipping here and there, See them flipping in the air. Autumn leaves so peacefully Falling, falling from the tree. THE LEAVES ARE GREEN
The leaves are green, the nuts are brown, They hang so high they won‘t come down. Leave them alone till frosty weather, Then they will all come down together. WORD BANK twirl 转动 skip 跳,蹦 flip 掷, 弹
