天气预报 The Weather Forecast in Chinese

每天měitiān晚上wǎnshang，我wǒ都dōu看kàn天气tiānqì预报yùbào。

Every evening, I watch the weather forecast.

昨天zuótiān电视diànshì里lǐ说shuō：“明天míngtiān有yǒu雨yǔ，会huì很hěn冷lěng。”

Yesterday the TV said, "Tomorrow there will be rain, and it will be very cold."

今天jīntiān早上zǎoshang出门chūmén的de时候shíhou，天tiān是shì阴yīn的de，我wǒ穿chuān了le很hěn多duō衣服yīfu。

This morning when I left home, the sky was overcast, so I put on a lot of clothes.

但是dànshì中午zhōngwǔ没有méiyǒu下雨xiàyǔ，天tiān晴qíng了le，还hái很hěn热rè！

But at noon it didn't rain — the sky turned sunny, and it was even hot!

我wǒ穿chuān得de太tài多duō，走zǒu一点儿yìdiǎnr路lù就jiù热rè得de不bù想xiǎng说话shuōhuà。

I was wearing too much; after walking just a little I was so hot I didn't even want to talk.

我wǒ笑xiào着zhe想xiǎng：天气tiānqì预报yùbào有时候yǒushíhou也yě会huì错cuò。

I smiled and thought: sometimes the weather forecast can be wrong too.

明天míngtiān我wǒ还hái会huì看kàn天气tiānqì预报yùbào，但是dànshì我wǒ也yě要yào看看kànkan天tiān！

Tomorrow I will still watch the weather forecast, but I will also take a look at the sky myself!
