When planning a trip, it is important to think about the weather and what activities you want to do. If it is sunny, you can go to the beach. If it is rainy, you might want to visit a museum. Some activities are better in different seasons. For example, hiking is great in dry weather, while skiing is best in winter.
In this lesson, students will learn how to talk about weather conditions and suggest activities based on the weather. They will practice using conditional sentences and expressing preferences.
