Weather for Kids Today, we are talking all about the weather.
2
There is a good chance that when you woke up this morning, you probably checked the weather.
3
That is because it is important to know
4
when to wear a heavy coat and snow boots and when to put on a swimming suit.
5
You would not wear a coat in the heat or a swimming suit in the cold.
6
So learning about what weather is and how to predict it is pretty useful information.
7
So what is weather exactly?
8
Weather describes what it is like outside at any given time of day.
9
It can be hot or cold,
10
wet or dry, clear or cloudy, or calm or stormy.
11
Most of the time, it is at least a few of these things all at once.
12
These changes in weather are because of a layer of gases that surround the Earth called the the atmosphere.
13
The atmosphere also acts as a shield, protecting life and helping keep our planet at a safe temperature.
14
Weather also depends on a place's distance from the equator,
15
which is an imaginary line that separates the northern and southern halves of the earth.
16
The closer a place is to the equator, the warmer it will be.
17
In fact, where you live on the planet has a huge impact on what weather you will see.
18
For example, the weather near the ocean is often a lot different than the weather near a tall mountain range.
19
Here is an interesting fact.
20
A meteorologist is a person who studies and predicts the weather.
21
You might have even seen a meteorologist sometime on the news.
22
They are the people who stand in front of a weather map and give forecasts,
23
or educated predictions, of what the weather will be like during the week in the area where you live.
24
Cool, right?
25
Now that we have talked about what weather is, let's talk about the different types of weather and how each are measured.
26
Hot or Cold First off, weather can be hot or cold, or somewhere in between.
27
The way that this hotness or coldness is measured is by temperature.
28
Temperature is based on the motion of energy and the speed of gas molecules in the air.
29
If the gas molecules are moving faster, the temperature will get higher.
30
meaning that the weather gets hotter.
31
Can you guess what is used to determine temperature? That is right!
32
It is a tool called a thermometer and it measures temperature in units called degrees.
33
Wet or dry Have you ever been near the ocean?
34
What about a desert?
35
The air around you can feel different depending on where you are in the world.
36
This difference is called humidity, which tells us the amount of water vapor in the air.
37
Even though you cannot see this water, you can definitely feel it.
38
The higher the humidity, the more moisture or water vapor there is in the air.
39
Here is another interesting fact.
40
If there is too much water vapor, it will begin to rain.
41
Humidity is measured by a tool called a hygrometer.
42
Clear or cloudy Did you know that air pressure affects whether or not it is a clear or cloudy day?
43
Remember when we talked about the atmosphere?
44
Well, air pressure is the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on the earth,
45
which is why it is also sometimes called atmospheric pressure.
46
Like our old friend humidity, air pressure affects all parts of the weather each day.
47
How is air pressure measured, you ask?
48
By a tool called a barometer.
49
There are two types of air pressure, high and low.
50
High pressure usually means that the weather will be fair and sunny.
51
Low pressure, on the other hand, brings clouds, rain, or snow.
52
Have you ever wondered what causes thunderstorms?
53
A pocket of strong, low pressure.
54
You can literally feel it in the air.
55
4. Calm or Stormy When you find yourself stuck in a storm,
56
you might notice that wind is almost always involved.
57
Wind is air, moving from higher pressure areas to lower pressure areas.
58
Wind speed is also affected by the heating of the Earth's surface and the rotation of the Earth.
59
The speed of wind can also be changed by the landforms around it.
60
Stuff like mountains, bodies of water, and vegetation.
61
Which is why sometimes wind can start as a gentle breeze and then change into a super strong gust.
62
The airspeed of wind is measured by a device called an anemometer.
63
Now that is a fascinating fact you can share with a friend.
64
Are you ready to review what we have learned?
65
Let's go!
66
True or False A Paleontologist studies and predicts the weather False.
67
A meteorologist studies and predicts the weather.
68
A paleontologist studies fossils.
69
Fill in the blank.
70
Blank tells us how much water vapor is in the air at a given time.
71
Humidity.
72
What is the name of the protective layer of gases that surround the Earth?
73
The atmosphere.
74
True or false?
75
A barometer measures air pressure.
76
True.
77
Name one type of weather that we discussed today.
78
You're right.
79
Hot or cold, wet or dry, clear or cloudy, or calm or stormy.
80
Nice job, Weather Wonders!
81
No matter if you live near the equator or on top of a tall mountain,
82
you will always be surrounded by weather.
83
The next time you are outside, try to see if you can figure out exactly what the weather is like using all the information you have learned today.
84
Hope you had fun learning with us.

Bạn đang luyện tập phát âm tiếng Anh với video "Weather for Kids | What is weather, and how does it work?" bằng phương pháp Shadowing — kỹ thuật được Dr. Alexander Arguelles phổ biến rộng rãi.
Hãy nghe kỹ từng câu, chú ý cách người nói nhấn âm và nối âm, rồi đọc lại to và tự tin. Mỗi ngày 15–30 phút luyện đều đặn, bạn sẽ thấy phát âm chuẩn hơn.
Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
