Hello
and
welcome
to
Six
Minute
Vocabulary
.
I'm
Rob
.
And
I'm
Catherine
.
And
our
topic
today
is
weather
.
Now
,
Rob
,
apparently
British
people
love
to
talk
about
the
weather
.
Do
you
think
that's
true
?
Absolutely
.
You
know
me
.
I'm
talking
about
it
all
the
time
.
Yeah
,
you
do
,
actually
.
And
in
today's
program
,
we'll
look
at
some
key
weather
vocabulary
and
show
you
how
to
use
it
in
different
types
of
sentences
.
There
will
be
a
quiz
and
we'll
give
you
a
top
tip
to
help
you
learn
vocabulary
more
effectively
.
So
on
with
the
show
,
and
we'll
start
by
listening
to
Harvey
talking
about
the
weather
,
where
he
lives
,
and
we
have
a
question
for
you
at
home
.
So
the
question
is
,
what
is
the
weather
like
for
Harvey
in
spring
?
I
live
in
the
north
.
I
love
it
here
,
but
the
weather
isn't
too
good
.
There's
a
lot
of
rain
in
the
autumn
and
winter
.
In
fact
,
it's
raining
right
now
.
Sometimes
it
snows
in
the
winter
,
in
the
spring
,
the
weather's
usually
quite
windy
,
but
it's
lovely
and
sunny
in
summer
.
So
that's
Harvey
,
and
we
asked
you
about
the
weather
in
spring
.
What's
it
like
?
Harvey
said
that
the
weather
gets
quite
windy
in
spring
.
Well
done
.
If
you
got
that
right
.
And
we'll
talk
more
about
windy
weather
later
.
First
,
let's
talk
about
the
rain
.
Listen
to
this
clip
.
There's
a
lot
of
rain
in
the
autumn
and
winter
in
this
sentence
,
rain
as
a
noun
.
So
we
can
say
there
is
a
lot
of
rain
or
we
can
add
a
main
verb
.
For
example
,
I
like
rain
.
Rob
,
how
do
you
feel
about
rain
right
?
I
hate
rain
because
I
like
to
do
a
lot
of
cycling
.
And
of
course
,
when
it
rains
,
I
get
very
wet
.
You
do
?
Yes
.
But
the
word
rain
can
also
be
a
verb
.
For
example
,
it
rains
a
lot
here
in
London
.
In
fact
,
look
out
the
window
.
It's
raining
now
.
It's
always
raining
,
always
raining
in
London
.
And
we
can
add
a
letter
Y
to
the
end
of
rain
to
make
the
A.
rainy
.
Rob
,
do
you
use
an
umbrella
on
rainy
days
?
No
,
I
don't
.
I
wear
a
coat
.
Yeah
,
more
.
More
practical
.
More
blokey
.
Well
,
blokey
.
Okay
,
so
that's
the
noun
rain
.
The
verb
rain
and
the
adjective
rainy
.
The
word
snow
works
in
the
same
way
.
Listen
to
this
clip
.
Sometimes
it
snows
in
the
winter
,
sometimes
it
snows
in
winter
.
And
the
word
snow
.
There
is
a
verb
as
a
noun
.
We
can
say
sometimes
there
is
snow
or
we
can
add
the
letter
Y
to
make
an
adjective
.
Sometimes
it's
snowy
.
Good
,
right
.
But
now
another
clip
.
Here's
Harvey
talking
about
the
weather
in
spring
.
In
the
spring
,
the
weather's
usually
quite
windy
.
In
the
spring
,
the
weather's
usually
quite
windy
in
this
sentence
,
Wendy
is
an
adjective
,
and
we
can
also
use
the
word
wind
as
a
noun
.
So
is
there
much
wind
today
,
Catherine
?
There's
quite
a
lot
,
actually
.
I
got
quite
blown
around
.
so
that's
wind
as
a
noun
and
windy
as
an
adjective
.
But
we
can't
use
wind
as
a
verb
.
You
have
to
use
a
different
verb
like
blow
.
So
the
wind
is
blowing
very
hard
today
.
Right
.
.
And
the
word
sun
is
the
same
.
It's
a
noun
.
The
sun
is
hot
.
It
can
make
an
adjective
.
It's
lovely
and
sunny
,
but
it
isn't
a
verb
.
You
need
a
different
word
for
that
.
The
sun
is
shining
even
though
it
isn't
six
minutes
vocabulary
from
BBC
learning
English
.
And
we're
looking
at
whether
words
OK
,
it's
quiz
time
.
Are
these
sentences
correct
or
wrong
?
Are
you
ready
for
this
?
Number
one
,
it's
sunning
today
and
that's
wrong
.
You
can't
say
it's
sunny
because
the
sun
isn't
a
verb
.
Instead
,
say
it's
sunny
or
the
sun
is
shining
.
OK
,
here's
number
two
.
There
was
a
lot
of
snow
last
week
,
and
that's
correct
.
And
here
comes
the
last
one
.
I
don't
like
Windy
,
and
that's
also
wrong
.
Windy
is
an
adjective
.
So
we
need
to
add
a
noun
,
say
I
don't
like
windy
weather
or
use
wind
as
a
noun
and
say
I
don't
like
wind
.
And
that's
the
end
of
the
quiz
.
Well
done
.
If
you
got
those
right
.
And
we've
just
got
time
for
a
top
tip
for
learning
vocabulary
,
haven't
we
,
Catherine
?
We
have
and
this
is
it
.
When
you
learn
a
new
word
for
the
first
time
,
you'll
learn
it
more
effectively
if
you
use
it
a
few
times
in
the
first
24
hours
.
So
if
you
learn
a
new
word
in
the
morning
,
Rob
,
look
it
up
again
in
the
evening
before
you
go
to
sleep
.
OK
,
I'll
do
that
.
Thank
you
.
OK
