communication guide

1. British and American people talk about the weather, except for a few cases, they really understand the weather. In most cases, they don't talk about the weather for the sake of the weather, but to introduce new topics. For example, people who travel are sitting in the car and don't know each other. If everyone sits silently, it will be too embarrassing and uncomfortable. In order to break the ice, people have nothing to talk about and say. In the eyes of British and American people, 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 affairs (British and American people regard asking about private affairs as a taboo), and it will not be rude or cause misunderstanding. (In addition, it is said that British people especially like to talk about the weather, which is also related to the changeable weather in their country. Britain is one of the few countries with extremely changeable weather in the world. It is often sunny in the morning, and it will rain heavily in the afternoon. An hour ago, it was sunny in Wan Li, and an hour later it will be foggy. Therefore, talking about or predicting the weather has naturally become the most frequent topic in Britain. Talking about the weather is not only a common way for strangers to answer questions or introduce topics, but also for familiar people and even friends.

2. Conciseness is a major feature of spoken English, so when talking about the weather, people often use some ellipsis sentences for the sake of conciseness. 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?
