The British Summer
Britain is well known for its rainy climate. People joke that even in the summer time the country never gets any sun and that the skies stay disappointingly grey even during the months of July and August.
Last summer though, it was so hot that people could hardly believe it. British people weren't used to such high temperatures, so every day on the news there were stories about people struggling to work in such unusual weather conditions. Radio and television programmes also reminded everyone to drink more water and not to stay too long in the sun.
When the sun comes out, British people tend to spend time in their garden if they have one. It's common to invite friends and neighbours around for a barbecue, where everyone sits outside and eats food like grilled meat（烤肉）and salads. There's always a back-up plan in case of rain though, and the meal sometimes has to be cooked in the kitchen and eaten indoors.
People also spend a lot of time in parks during the summer, having picnics or playing sports. In every green area, there’s always at least one ice cream van, a kind of car that plays children’s music and sells ice creams.
Towns like Blackpool and Brighton are popular for their beaches and amusement arcades （游乐场）. People go there to swim, sunbathe and eat fish and chips. The water can be quite cold，though, and that's why quite a lot of people prefer to go abroad for their summer holiday instead. Popular destinations include Spain, Germany and France: all countries that promise a lot of sunshine!

【文章大意】英国的夏天
英国以其多雨的气候而闻名。人们开玩笑说，即使在夏天，这个国家也永远不会有太阳晒，即使在七八月的几个月里，天空仍然灰蒙蒙的，令人失望。
然而，去年夏天，天气太热了，人们简直不敢相信。英国人不习惯这么高的温度，所以每天新闻上都有关于人们在如此不寻常的天气条件下努力工作的故事。广播电视节目也提醒大家多喝水，不要晒太久。
太阳出来时，如果有花园，英国人往往待在花园里。邀请朋友和邻居一起烧烤是很常见的，大家都坐在外面，吃烤肉和沙拉等食物。不过，总有一个备用计划，以防下雨，而且有时必须在厨房做饭，然后在室内吃。
人们在夏天也会花很多时间去公园野餐或运动。在每一个绿地里，总有至少一辆冰淇淋车，播放着儿童音乐卖冰淇淋。
像布莱克浦和布莱顿这样的城镇，他们的海滩和拱廊很受欢迎。人们去那里游泳、晒日光浴和吃鱼和薯条。不过，这里的水可能很冷，这就是为什么很多人喜欢出国度暑假的原因。热门目的地包括西班牙、德国和法国：所有有大量阳光的国家！
