The weather in Britain can change very quickly. One day last week I went for a walk in the country. When I started out early in the morning the weather was beautiful. The sun was shining; the sky was blue; and there was no cloud at all. In the middle of the morning a sudden change came. A strong wind started to blow; black clouds covered the sun.

And in a very short time it started to rain heavily. There were no houses in sight, and I had no coat with me. So I got very wet and very cold, too. After about an hour I managed to catch a coach which took me home. But when I arrived, it was clear again! We sometimes say that Britain is a country where you can have four seasons in one day.
