10 Weather Expressions in English

Hello my name is Emma, and today's lesson we are going to learn about  weather expressions. So I will teach you ten new epressions that have to do with ...wind, rain, storm, thunder and weather. OK ? So let's get star it! The first expression i want to teach you today, is "storm out". So what is storm? A storm is when you have: heavy rain, lots o lightning, lots of loud bum, thunder sounds. So, that's storm. So we use   talk about weather, but we  also can use it when we talk about how people leave. OK. So when someone leaves a room, very quickly, angrily. OK  They storm out. I don't know if I've never seen someone storms out. But if, maybe you have two friends and they have a fight, when there is a fight, usually one person storms out. They leave the room quickly, and angrily. So the key word here: angry.
Our second expression: under the weather. OK.  And it's important to know wich preposition we are using? Not over the weather, under the weather. What does it mean?  xxx actually doesn't have to do with weather . It means: You are sick; if you are under the weather. It's a common expression we use it a lot, and how are you feelling today? Oh I'm a little under the weather. My teacher didn't come to school; she was feelling a little under the weather. So you can use..x .under the weather, or i'm feelling under the weather. Both are OK. We can use: I'm under the weather  or i'm feeling under the weather.
Third expression for today: weather that storm.

A trip through southamerica

      After a lot of experiences including my unforgettable  trip to Argentina in 1.992. I decided to undertake a new one again. I began by traveling to Ecuador over the past year, when I visited the village of Baños in  the middle of this beautiful country. After staying there for fifteen days I decided to continue my trip through the andean mountains and came back to Colombia along the coast. I arrived in Bogotá on October  2.014. I worked as university teacher for a semester, and when the contract finished I decided return to Ecuador.

      I caught the bus at  Bogota Terminal to San Agustín, where I was visiting the arquaeological park and its sorroundings.  I didn't agree with some guides who speculated about the extraterrestrial (alien) origin of these statues. They always say the everyday cliché about the unknown origin of the pre-Columbian people of San Agustin. According with their conjectures, the origin of this ceremonial place is still in the  mistery.

      I left that village,  took my pack, and gone out to Simbundoy, where I couldn't  find lodgin. So that I had to look for a place to put my tent. Unfortunately, when I tried to pitch my tent, I realized that I had forgotten the bendy poles, so that I couldn't assemble this one. Therefore I had to sleep in my sleepingbag, under a tree. Then, in the morning I found a Hotel in downtown. I was stayed there for two nights, then I went out to Ipiales towards the border. At dark, I passed the migration post in direction of Tulcàn, the provincial capital of Carchi.

      When I got Tulcàn, I called a friend o mine, whose name is Marcelo. I passed one night at his house. I love taking a coffe or chocolate in a lovely placed named  Tulcan's Cafe. After two days I went out to Baños located in the Tunguragua Province, where I stay right now. I have been here for six months, but now I am preparing my travel to Perú and Bolivia. For this purpose I'm saving some money.

I visit Ambato frequently, and I have seen a scene on the street that got me speechless. A grany sorrounded by her relatives who were looking for lice in her head. The women were using a comb to trap the lice, but I saw something pretty  disgusting. One of the women was eating the lice, as It were a scropcious dish. This one seems be an indigeneus costume since the Inkas's epoch. The question is: Why? Why this people, in some cases, need to eat lice? However, this is a costum very spreded around the world; for example, Malinowski cites some cases among the islanders of Polinesia. In accordance with a functional expanation It could be a costume whose purpose is to show affection towards the raltives, in this case, the granny, or maybe to keep the family united. The cultural materialism would say: this is on account a deficiency of proteins. So whatsoever it be, this is a quiestion of the culture, and needs beeing explained in more detail.
