Талисманами Летних Олимпийских игр 2012 года в Лондоне стали Венлок и Мандевилль (Wenlock and Mandeville) — два одноглазых существа, напоминающие инопланетян. Венлок получил своё имя в честь городка Мач Венлок (Much Wenlock), соревнования в котором в середине XIX века (Wenlock Olympian Society Annual Games) вдохновили Пьера де Кубертена на возрождение Олимпиад в 1896 году. Мандевилль был назван по имени госпиталя Стоук Мандевилль (Stoke Mandeville Hospital), где в 1948 году были проведены первые игры для спортсменов-инвалидов (World Wheelchair and Amputee Games).

Mascots of the Olympic Summer Games 2012 in London are Wenlock and Mandeville (Wenlock and Mandeville) - two one-eyed creatures that resemble aliens. Wenlock was named after the town of Much Wenlock (Much Wenlock), in which competition in the middle of the XIX century (Wenlock Olympian Society Annual Games) inspired Pierre de Coubertin to revive the Olympics in 1896. Mandeville was named after Stoke Mandeville Hospital (Stoke Mandeville Hospital), which in 1948 held the first games for athletes with a disability (World Wheelchair and Amputee Games).

The weather is a subject we can always talk about. It often changes and brings cold and heat, sunshine and rain, frost and snow. One day is often unlike the next. In summer the sun shines, often there is no wind and there are no clouds in the sky which is blue and beautiful. We can see stars and the moon at night and people like walks, outdoor games and sports in the fresh air.
When autumn comes, the days become shorter and colder. It gets dark earlier and often heavy clouds cover the sky bringing rain with them.
Sometimes there is heavy rain, so that an umbrella or a raincoat is necessary if we don't want to get wet through. Then you can hear people say, "What bad weather! When is this rain going to stop?" Many people then catch cold and must go to bed. Then a fire at home is so pleasant. At last frost and snow come.
Fields, forests and houses are covered with snow and rivers and lakes with ice. But spring again brings sunshine and warm winds. Sometimes it snows but snow will not remain long, it will melt in the warm sun. Spring will bring bright sunshine, green grass and flowers.
We usually say: "A nice day", "Not a bad day" or "It's nice weather for the time of the year" if the weather is fine.
We can say: "It looks like rain", "It looks like snow" of "It's bad weather" when the weather is bad.
