weather
Hey, you guys! Don't forget Lingling's birthday next week.
Right。 We're going to buy a gift for her. It's very cold, isn't it?
Yes, it's cold.
Toni, what are you going to do for the Spring Festival?
We are going to England.
Is it going to snow there?
You must be joking. It wouldn't even be cold, it's just raining. It may also be windy. Betty, are you going to the United States?
We haven't decided yet. We may go to Australia.
That sounds great! What's the weather going there?
I think it would be good. At that time, Australia was summer, so it could be very hot and sunny. What about you, Daming?
We're going to Hongkong. It may be cool, but it may be very dry. When is the best time to go to the United States, Betty?
It's not so cold... It's not too hot to go.
Come on, or to go!
What are you going to buy for Lingling?
Wear warm things!

When is the best time to visit your city or country
The United States is a big country, so if you want to go there and play, you must be careful in the choice of time and place. Maybe you want to walk around, so take a good map.
It was a good time to go to New York and Washington, D.C., in May or October, when the weather was not very hot. There will be a lot of snow in winter.
It was a good idea to play new England in September, and the weather began to cool and the trees began to change color. Maybe you have to take photos of the leaves of the fall, so taking your camera is a good idea.
In Losangeles, California, four thousand miles away, the weather is good all year round. It's so nice to see the sun in December. With a swimsuit, you might want to swim in the sea.
The northwest is not very cold, but there is a lot of rain, so you have to take an umbrella. It's very comfortable to go to Alaska in July and August. But at night, it may be cool so remember to wear warm. But the winter do not go there, because all day long is dark and cold.
In the Texas and southeastern regions, there are frequent storms in summer and fall. Compared to many other places, there are often jiaoyangsihuo.
So, when is the best time to go to the United States?

You have to wait a moment and open it later
Don't talk to everyone. She's here! Happy birthday, Lingling.
Oh, you still remember it!
We have a gift for you.
Thank you
You can open it! Hurry up!
Oh, no! I can't open it now. It will be a moment!
Wait! In the United States, when someone gives you a gift, you have to open it immediately.
No, you can't open the gift at once in China.
And remember that when you pick up a gift, you have to connect it with your hands.
Hands! In Britain we can use one hand!
That's true。 In addition, you have to wrap a red bag in red paper, because it symbolizes Geely. No white, blue, or black paper.
You can't do the cleaning on the first day of the year.
And you can't cut your hair.
You're talking about playing!
You can't break anything, it's not lucky! Whatever you say, relax! The British tradition is also weird!
And you have to eat more dumplings!
What is the dumpling?
You just wait and see.

Advice to tourists: traditional British life
When I was in England, I had a good time. But I noticed a lot of different traditions.
For example, when you first meet people, you usually shake hands with them. But then you just have to say, "hello". When you talk to older people, say it first... Mr. or... Madam / madam. But for your friend, you can call its name.
One day, we went to visit some friends and drink tea together. This tea is not just a drink, but a table of tea at about 4 o'clock. You can't have tea after 4:30 and you can't drink coffee or juice. And you have to drink tea with milk. You have to pour tea first and then add milk to you, and you can say, you can't pour the milk and pour the tea first.
On the bus or train, the other passengers are quiet, and you can't talk about it. This is very different from China! You can't even use a mobile phone on some trains! And you can hardly hear someone yelling on the street.
I was very lucky and even attended a wedding. The wedding here is quite different from the Chinese wedding. For example, the bride and groom can't meet the day before the wedding. Then the bride can never reach the church according to the prescribed time, but a few minutes later. At the party after the wedding, the bride is to throw her flowers out of her shoulder. The girl who has received the flower will be the next bride! This is all wonderful but very interesting!

天气
嘿，你们这帮家伙!可别忘了下个星期玲玲的生日。
对呀。我们要为她买一件礼物。天气非常冷，不是吗?
是的，很冷。
托尼，你春节打算做什么事情?
我们打算去英国。
那儿会下雪吗?
你肯定是在开玩笑吧。那甚至都不会很冷，只是下雨。还可能会刮风。贝蒂，你要去美国吗?
我们还没有定。我们可能去澳大利亚。
这听起来太棒了!那儿的天气会怎么样?
我想会不错吧。那个时候，澳大利亚是夏天，所以可能会很热而且阳光灿烂。那你呢，大明?
我们要去香港。那儿可能很凉，但是可能会很干燥。贝蒂，去美国的最佳时机是什么时候?
那就在既不太冷……也不太热的时候去!
行啦，还是赶紧走吧!
你打算为玲玲买什么礼物?
穿着暖和的东西!

什么时候是游览你所在的城市或国家的最佳时机
美国是一个很大的国家，所以要去那里游玩的话，在时间和地点的选择上，一定要谨慎。也许你想四处走一走，因此要带上一份好地图。
5月或10月是去纽约和华盛顿特区的好时候，那时的天气不是很热。冬天会有很多雪。
在9月份游玩新英格兰是个好主意，天气开始变凉，树木开始变色。也许你要给秋天的叶子拍照，所以带上你的照相机是个不错的主意。
在四千英里以外位于加利福尼亚州的洛杉矶，全年的天气都很好。在12月份的时候能看到太阳，感觉真是太好了!带上游泳衣，说不定你会想去海里游泳呢。
西北部并不十分寒冷，但雨水很多，所以要带雨伞。在7月和8月去阿拉斯加游玩，是很舒服的。但是到了晚上，可能会凉一些所以要记得穿暖和一些。但冬天可千万别去那里，因为那时全天都是黑天，并且寒冷彻骨。
在德克萨斯州和东南部地区，夏天和秋天时常有暴风雨。和许多其它地方相比，那里常常骄阳似火。
所以，最好在什么时候去美国?什么时候都可以!

你必须等一等，过后再打开它
大家别聊了。她来了!生日快乐，玲玲。
呀，你们还记着呢!
我们有礼物要送给你。
谢谢。
你可以把它打开!赶快!
哦，不行!我不能现在把它打开。要过一会儿!
等等!在美国，有人送你礼物时，你必必须要立刻打开它。
不行，在中国你不能马上打开礼物。
还要记住：你接礼物时，必须要用双手接。
双手接!在英国我们可以用一只手接!
是这样的。另外，你必须用红色的纸包一个红包，因为这象征着吉利。不能用白色、蓝色或黑色的纸。
大年初一那天你不能做扫除。
还有就是你不能剪发。
你是说着玩的吧!
你还不能打碎任何东西，这不吉利!不管怎么说，放轻松点!英国的传统也是很怪的!
还有就是你必须要多吃饺子!
饺子是什么?
你就等着瞧吧!

对游客们提的建议：英国的传统生活
当我在英国时，我过得很开心。但我注意到有很多不同的传统。
例如，当你第一次见到人时通常是与他们握手。不过之后你就只需要说：“你好”就行了。当你与年长的人说话时要先说……先生或……太太/夫人。不过对你的.朋友就可以直呼其名了。
有一天，我们去拜访一些朋友并且一起喝茶。这个茶并不只是一杯饮品，而是指4点钟左右的一餐茶点。你不能在4点半以后和这顿茶，不能喝咖啡或果汁。而且你必须喝加了奶的茶。你必须先倒茶再往里加牛奶，也就说，你不能先倒牛奶后倒茶。
在公共汽车或火车上，其他的乘客都很安静，而你绝对不能高谈阔论。这一点与中国是非常不同的!在一些火车上你甚至不能使用手机!而且，在街上你几乎听不到有人大声喊叫。
我非常幸运，甚至参加过一场婚礼。这儿的婚礼与中国的婚礼是大不相同的。例如，在婚礼的前一天晚上新娘和新郎是不能见面的。然后新娘绝不能按规定时间到达教堂，而是要晚几分钟。在婚礼之后的聚会上，新娘要将她的花从她的肩膀上往后抛撒出去。接到花的女孩将是下一位新娘!这一切都很奇妙但是很有趣!
