Everyone talks about the weather，but no one does anything about it.It is true people usually begin their talks with “Isn’t it a nice day?” “Do you think it will rain?” “What a fine day!
Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like.But they hardly agree with each other. One man may say，“Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It’s going to rain tomorrow,” Another man will say，“No，it’s going to be fine 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 have a travel，they are sure the weather is going to clear up very quickly. Almost everyone listens to what the weatherman says，but he doesn’t always tell us what we want，and sometimes he makes a mistake.Still，he probably comes closer to being correct than anyone else.

八、One possible version:
Dear Mary,
I’m very glad that you’ll come to visit China. You asked me about the weather in China. There are four seasons--- spring, summer, autumn and winter in China. Summer is the hottest season of the year. It often rains. And winter is the coldest. Sometimes it snows, especially in the north of China. If you like snow, you can come at this time of the year. But I think the best time to visit China is in spring or autumn because the weather is not too cold or too hot. It’s very pleasant to visit many places of interest in China, such as the Great Wall, the West Lake, Mount Tai and so on. I hope you can come soon.
Yours,
Li Ping
