Rain is an important part of the water cycle which never stops on our planet. Water is delivered to the ground by rains. It is retained as clouds in the sky and falls over and through the land. Actually, this is one of the reasons why the earth is cold in winter and warm in summer. Water escapes into the atmosphere and turns into clouds.
Rain is useful for us in many different ways. Firstly, it waters the Earth and refills streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans. The water in the oceans is home to millions of sea creatures and the water in the streams, rivers, and lakes is home to fresh-water fish and other water animals. Secondly, rain provides the water trees and other plants need. Rain also gives wild animals the water they need to drink. Finally, people love rainy weather. It makes the air fresh and clean.
Трудные для произношения слова. delivered [dɪˈlɪvəd], retained [rɪˈteɪnd], atmosphere [ˈætməsfɪə], refills [riːˈfɪlz], creatures [ˈkriːtʃəz], fresh-water [ˈfreʃˌwɔːtə].
На что обратить внимание. Явные маркеры перечисления «Firstly,… Secondly,… Finally,…» требуют одинаковой интонационной модели: подъём тона на Firstly и Secondly, понижение на Finally. Однородный ряд «streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans» читайте с перечислительной интонацией. Вводное «Actually,» отделяйте короткой паузой. Creatures [ˈkriːtʃəz] — долгий гласный [iː] в первом слоге, не краткий.
