In the following letter, do you think such winter is usual for Texas? Why? (reading for the main idea)
Houston, Texas 12/15/2005
Dear Alice,
It was wonderful to see you in the video that Olga brought with her. Thank you for the gifts. I will put them under the Christmas tree soon. The picture of Elets* has already found a home in our living room. The sweater makes me think of the winter in Lipetsk.* We think Olga brought part of your Russian winter with her because everything is under thick (толстый слой) snow. The schools have been closed (были закрыты) for 2 days as well as (так же как и) many shops and offices in town. I went to the supermarket today and the streets were almost deserted (пустынны). Oh, well … we have a well-known saying (поговорка) here: “If you don’t like the weather, just wait a few minutes”. Give my love to your family and please write as often as you can. Say hello to Mera from me. I hope to hear from you soon.
Yours, Jackie
What do you think the saying means? If you don’t like the weather, just wait a few minutes:
- a) soon you will like it.
- b) the temperature will go back up very soon.
- c) you’ll get accustomed to (привыкнешь) it.
Read out how Jackie started and finished the letter (reading for specific information):
a) the way she wrote the date
b) the way she addressed Alice
c) the way she said hello
d) the way she signed the letter
1) No, such winter is not usual for Texas, because Texas is usually warm, and here Jackie says that everything is under thick snow, schools are closed, and the streets are almost deserted.
