Unit8 Snow

Have you ever seen snow? A lot of people in the world have not. A lot of countries never have snow- or they have it only on the tops of very high mountains. In Scotland and in the north of England, there is quite a lot of snow every winter, but in the south of England, there is usually little.
When a student from a warm country like Malaysia or Indonesia comes to Britain in the autumn for the first time, he feels cold at first. There are often dark clouds, grey sky and cold rain in Britain in autumn, and most students from warm countries do not like this.
But snow is different. Although it is very cold, it is also very beautiful. Perhaps, after several dark mornings, the students wakes up one day, and there is a lot of light in his room. He thinks, “Is it so late?” and jumps out of. But no, it is not very late. He looks out of the window-and there is the snow, on the ground and on the roofs of the house and everywhere. The light in his room came from that smooth, clean, beautiful white snow.
