Communication Guide

1. When British and Americans talk about the weather, except for a few cases where they actually understand the weather conditions, in most other cases they do not talk about the weather for the sake of the weather, but for the sake of the weather. It is to introduce new topics. For example, people traveling are sitting in a car and don't know each other. If everyone sits in silence, it would be too awkward and uncomfortable. In order to break this cold situation, people have to find something to say. What should they say? In the eyes of British and Americans, the most convenient and safest way is to talk about the weather. Because everyone can express their opinions on the topic of weather, and it does not involve other people's private matters (British and American people regard it as a taboo to inquire about private matters), and it will not be rude or cause misunderstanding. (In addition, it is said that the British especially like to talk about the weather, which is also related to the changeable weather in their country. The United Kingdom is one of the few countries in the world with extremely changeable weather. It is often sunny there in the morning, but it will be sunny in the afternoon. It's raining heavily, but one hour ago it was clear skies, and the next hour it will be foggy. Therefore, talking about or predicting the weather has naturally become the most common topic among British people.)

Talking about the weather is not only a common method among strangers to answer questions or introduce topics, but is also commonly used among familiar people and even friends.

2. Conciseness is a major feature of spoken language, so when talking about the weather, people often use some elliptical sentences for the sake of simplicity.

Such as:

It's a lovely day, isn't it?

→Lovely day, isn't it?

It's rather cold today, isn't it?

→Rather cold, isn't it?
