The weather
1 Read this weather report from a German website.
Gestern war es im Süden trocken und schön, aber heute gibt es leider Gewitter. In der
Nacht fallen die Temperaturen.
Das Wetter ist am Freitag meistens sonnig und warm. Nur in Berlin ist es neblig und es
regnet. Der Wind ist nicht so stark.
Es ist am Samstagvormittag kalt in den Alpen. In den Bergen wird es Frost geben.
Später am Samstag könnte die Temperatur bis auf 18 Grad steigen. Das ist viel wärmer
als normal.

Janick is taking part in an exchange programme in Australia.
Janick wartete am Flughafen auf seine Austauschfamilie. Er dachte,
„Ich warte schon eine Stunde lang, vielleicht kommen sie nie?“
Tausende Kilometer weit weg von Deutschland saß er da und wartete.
Sein schwerer Koffer war vollgepackt mit Geschenken und kurzen Hosen.
Er war sehr müde und mit jeder Minute wurde er trauriger.
Dann sah er die Familie kommen. Alle in Flipflops. Sein Austauschpartner
Neil hatte ein kleines Schild in der Hand mit Janicks Namen. Er war
genauso alt wie Janick, aber viel größer. Hinter Neil waren seine Eltern
und jüngere Schwester.
