Погода
Иностранцы очень любят разговаривать о погоде. Это отличный способ
растопить лёд (начать беседу). Друзья общаются сначала о погоде перед тем, как они начнут рассказывать о каких-либо новостях...
Сослуживцы также ведут разговор о погоде перед тяжелым рабочим днем...Даже незнакомые люди при встрече в основном начинают с погоды...
И таких примеров и ситуаций довольно много.
Итак, погода!
