When the weather is windy, the air moves fast. People might feel cold or see trees moving. Sometimes, it is difficult to walk or ride a bike. However, windy weather can also be nice for flying kites, sailing, or enjoying a fresh breeze.
In this lesson, students will learn how to describe windy weather, use "but" to contrast ideas, and talk about activities they can do even when it is windy.
