【英语口语练习册】挪威的夏天

克里斯晨在描绘他的家乡挪威的夏天

Todd: Christian¹ can you talk about the summers in Norway.

 

Christian: Yeah, a lot people think the summers in Norway are really cold, but actually they're not. Maybe everything, the weather is changing because of El Nino effect², I don't know, but we've had, for the last four or five years, we've had pretty warm summers. It gets close to 30 degrees centigrade³, and which is enjoyable⁴ I guess, and there's no humidity⁵. It's nice and dry and it's just pleasant weather really. Yeah, and what we do in the summers is different. Some people have a house on small islands on the coast⁶, or some people have a house on the mountains, and you can either go to the mountains and enjoy the lakes, the forests, or you can go to the coast and enjoy the beach, the water, go fishing, so there's plenty of things to do in the summer, yeah, and we get a lot of tourist coming in the summer though, because it's not that hot. It's just pleasant and enjoyable.

 

Todd: Wow, sounds like a good place.

 

Christian: Yeah, it is.
