Whether the weather be fine,
Or whether the weather be not,
Whether the weather be cold,
Or whether the weather be hot,
We'll weather the weather,
Whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not

It seems tomorrow it will be freezing cold but if you have ...

a pair of boots
a warm coat
a woolen scarf
a pair of mittens
earmuffs
and long underwear

put them on, wrap up warm and come to play with us! 
And remember: try not to turn into an icicle!!!
 

The snow is falling and the temperature keeps dropping.

People are definitely not shy about sharing how the cold weather makes them feel — very grumpy, for the most part!

Have you noticed that?

Winter is here, that’s for sure.

While snow and winter holidays are fun, once the middle of winter hits (also known as the dead of winter), you may start hearing people talking, or more likely complaining, about the weather.

Sometimes what they are saying can be very confusing.

Driving back home today perhaps it was not a whiteout but it sure looked like a blizzard.

People went to the supermarket to stuck on supplies as if the Snowmaggedon was about to start.

The sleet falling all afternoon has caused a great deal of slush.

And as it seems the winter chill is here to stay, tomorrow wrap up warm and watch out for black ice!

Shakespeare already said it all,

or at least this is what Joy Leslie Gibson, at 90 Britain's oldest student, may believe since she is currently doing her PhD at the Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Ms Gibson is 63,000 words into her PhD in forgiveness and repentance in Elizabethan theatre.“The thing is, I was 18 in 1945 when the war came to an end. I had a place at the LSE [London School of Economics and Political Science] to read Politics,” she told The Daily Telegraph. “But the government said that all places at university were to go to ex-service people.”

Her advice for students is not to waste their time and money by enrolling on “mickey mouse” degrees like “golf course management”. Rather, they should throw themselves into the world of work and follow her lead by enrolling on university courses later in life.
“I don’t think anyone is properly educated these days,” Ms Gibson said. “I talk to university students who haven’t had as good an education as I had at school. Being taught how to read properly at primary school is far more important than sending people to university to do mickey mouse degrees like golf club management.
“I think students ought to think of what they want to do after university and really, how they can earn enough money after.”
  Gibson, who was born in the Isle of Wight but spent most of her childhood in west London was educated at Notting Hill School, a private girls' day school.

She went on to work as a drama teacher and then magazine journalist, and renewed her efforts with higher education after she retired, aged 60. She studied a foundation course at the Open University, and went on to take a BA in Philosophy at the University of North London, which is now London Metropolitan University.
Next, she studied for an MA in Renaissance Studies with the University of Sussex and went on to take two MPhils on various aspects of Shakespeare, followed by an MLit on Elizabethan costume.

Joy Gibson's tips for students

• Don't waste time on "mickey mouse" degrees like "golf course management" - study a proper subject or don't bother at all
• Join a society if you have a particular talent, but don't allow yourself to get "swamped" by extra-curricular activities, as you need to concentrate on your studies
• Think about what you want to do after university, and how you will earn enough money to pay off your student debts
• Have a set time of the day and place to work where you will not be distracted
• Make good notes, and make sure they are assembled in an orderly fashion before you start writing

There is an old saying that America and Britain are “two nations divided by a common language.”

No one knows exactly who said this, but it reflects the way many Brits feel about American English. Brits are prone to saying to others, “You don’t speak English. You speak American.”
But are American and British English really so different?

They may have the same alphabet, but British and American English can be a bit confusing. Watch our video to see.

Ones live in apartments, others in flats.

These go on vacations those go on holidays.

Do you put your suitcase in the hood or in the bonnet of your car?

You've been to the UK, haven't you?

But you watch American movies, don't you?

Or you can't make hears nor tails of question tags?

Whoever your teacher may be and whichever accent you may prefer, ENJOY YOUR LESSONS!!!

 

Can you play the pipe?

Peter Piper can.

Or perhaps you can pickle peppers?

Peter Piper can do it too.

And please, can you pick a peck of pickled peppers as Peter Piper did?

And now, can you say that altogether?

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

This is a tongue twister. 

Now it's your turn to say it loud and clear.

Or not that clear.
