对话文本
B: it's a lovely day out today, isn't it?

P: it's beautiful. Enjoy it while it lasts. It's supposed to get cold tomorrow.

B: what's the weather forecast for tomorrow?

P: it's supposed to snow early tomorrow morning and then tomorrow afternoon there's a chance of freezing rain.

B: that doesn't sound pretty.

P: do you have any plans for tomorrow?

B: well, I was going to drive to Birmingham to see some friends.



P: you might want to change your plans. With the cold and wet weather that we're supposed to have tomorrow, the roads are going to be rather slippery.

B: I suppose I should. I don't like driving in dangerous weather conditions. Do you have any plans for tomorrow?

P: I just have to go to class tomorrow afternoon.

B: if you're lucky, it'll get cancelled and you can have a snow day!

P: if that happens, then I'll invite you over and we can drink hot cocoa and watch movies.

B: that sounds like fun.

P: hey, look outside! It's started to drizzle!

B: English weather is even more predictable than I had previously thought.
