我们知道，英国人见面时最喜欢谈论天气，一方面是由于英国天气多变（changeable）,另一方面是由于英国人比较保守（conservative）,不愿与陌生人谈论一些其它问题尤其是涉及到隐私的问题。在初中英语里，谈论天气是一个重要话题，但不少初中生都不能很好地把握谈论这一话题要用到的语言， 不知道怎么谈论。下面，我来说说我的看法：
一、 提问时，可说：1.How is the weather today?
How is the weather in Beijing in winter?
2.What is （不用does）the weather like（介词） today?
What will the weather be like tomorrow?
二、 描述天气时可用形容词、动词、名词。
一）用形容词描述天气（注意形容词可作表语、定语、宾补）
1. Pretty warm, isn’t it?
2. Terrible weather, isn’t it?
3. It’s getting warmer.
4. It’s a fine day, isn’t it?
5. It’s going to be fine tomorrow.
描述天气的形容词主要有：warm/hot/cool/cold/fine/sunny/dry/wet/humid/rainy/windy/foggy/snowy/icy/misty/ /nice/lovely/ terrible /bad等。
二）用动词描述天气
1.It is going to rain.
2.It snowed heavily last night.
3.The sun shines brightly.
4.It’s raining cats and dogs.
5.It’s blowing hard tonight.
6.It’s clearing up.
三）用名词描述天气
1.I think there’ll be a storm soon.
2.There was a heavy rain here yesterday.
3.There will be occasional showers in southeast England, some of them perhaps heavy.
4.The rain has stopped.
5.There will be a strong wind to the north of the Changjiang River.
三、描述天气时常用陈述句、反意疑问句、感叹句，为了表达自己对天气的看法、担忧或希望，可用宾语从句、状语从句。
1.It’s beginning to rain.
2.Rather cold today, isn’t it?
