  In England, people like talking about the weather. The English also like greeting (问候) each other by talking about the weather with others. Why do they like talking about the weather? Because it is always changeable (多变的) in England.

  When you walk on the street and listen to others, maybe they are talking about one thing — the weather. When you say, "Nice weather, isn't it?" "Yes, it is. But it will rain tomorrow."he maybe answers like that. The English people will think you are friendly if you say hello like this.
