1. Talking about the Weather

2. English Weather — No Problem!

3. A Bad Reputation of British Weather

4. A Foggy Country

Typical British weather is quite comfortable. It's not usually as cold in Britain as it is in northern countries like Russia or Canada. In some parts of Britain, people are happy to see snow in the winter. But usually the winter passes without any snow or frosts at all. In the central and southern parts of Britain it doesn't usually get very cold in the winter or very hot in the summer.

Most British people wouldn't agree that Britain is a wet and foggy country. It may not rain very much but you can never be sure of a dry day. But why do the British say, 'It's raining cats and dogs'? Because in some parts of Britain it sometimes rains very heavily.

That is the reason people say, 'Other countries have a climate, in England we have weather.' In fact the weather in England changes very quickly. It doesn't happen often, but sometimes the British have weather from each season, all in one day.

If you were in Britain, you would notice that the British talk about the weather all the time. Why not? It's certainly true that the weather is a good way to start a conversation with your old friend, your neighbour or a person you don't know. Because of the changeable weather in Britain there is always something to talk about even with a stranger.

Ответ:

I think the best title is 1. Talking about the Weather. The text describes British weather, but its main point, especially in the last paragraph, is that British people talk about the weather all the time. It explains that the changeable weather makes it a good and easy topic to start a conversation with anyone. The other titles are not suitable. For example, title 4, "A Foggy Country," is directly contradicted by the text which says that most British people wouldn't agree with this statement. Title 3 is also incorrect because the text argues that the weather is actually quite comfortable, trying to improve its reputation, not focus on a bad one. Title 2 is partially true, but it misses the key idea about conversations.

Я думаю, что лучший заголовок — это 1. Разговоры о погоде. В тексте описывается британская погода, но его главная мысль, особенно в последнем абзаце, заключается в том, что британцы постоянно говорят о погоде. Текст объясняет, что изменчивая погода делает её хорошей и легкой темой для начала разговора с кем угодно. Другие заголовки не подходят. Например, заголовок 4, «Туманная страна», прямо опровергается в тексте, где говорится, что большинство британцев не согласились бы с этим утверждением. Заголовок 3 также неверен, потому что текст доказывает, что погода на самом деле довольно комфортная, пытаясь улучшить ее репутацию, а не сосредотачиваться на плохой. Заголовок 2 отчасти верен, но он упускает ключевую идею о разговорах.
