C
We like talking about the weather. This is true. People usually begin their talks with "Isn't it a nice day?" "Do you think it will rain?" or "What a hot day!"
Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But they often don't agree with each other. One person may say, "Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It's going to rain tomorrow." Another person will say, "No, it's going to be sunny tomorrow."
People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell him it's going to rain. He won't believe anything else. When friends want to take a trip, they are sure the weather is going to be fine very soon.
We listen to the weatherman every day, but he doesn't always tell us the weather we want. And he is wrong sometimes. But he comes closer to being correct than anyone else. So the weather report is still very useful.
