And the lower the clouds, the worse the weather. Fair-weather cumulus (积云) clouds are another sign of good weather. There are clouds we often see on warm summer days. Clouds can tell you if a storm is on the way. If the stick cumulus clouds get bigger early in the day, then you know it will rain. If a sudden, cool and dark thunder cloud appears, then a storm is coming.Colours in the sky tell us about the weather, too. A golden ring around the moon tell us that a storm is on the way. A watery yellow sunset is a sign that rain may be near.The rainbow has a message, too. The colour of the rainbow come from the sun rays shining through falling rain. If you see the sun in the east and a rainbow in the west, the rain may be coming your way. If the sun in the west and the rainbow is in the east, the rain will be moving away from you.15 .

For little kids we usually use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics. So its easy for them to start because they know the music. Not only does it work, but it is fun for the kids.”“Sometimes, I think if I were taught English that way, maybe I would speak much better English than now，” Hua Zhuying adds.Our brain likes music, especially for remembering.
