In summer, the rain often comes suddenly. The sky can change in minutes, from bright sunshine to dark clouds. People might be surprised when it starts, but the sudden rain can also bring relief from the hot weather. The clouds become dark and heavy. Suns are rumbles in the distance. Soon, big drops of rain fall from the sky. The heavy rain can make the streets wet and the sound of falling water is soothing. Plants and flowers drink the rain happily, their colors appearing more vibrant after being soaked. After the rain, the air is fresh and the world seems cleaner. Everything feels calm and cool. The refreshing air makes it pleasant to go outside. I love summer rain because it brings coolness and makes everything more beautiful.That’s all from editor Xiao Wu at qicai.com regarding daily beginner English reading exercises. We hope you gain something useful after listening!
