Hello Learners!

I've been busy with work that I haven't prepared lessons for @steemiteducation recently, but now, I decided to share the lesson I had with my student earlier today. So, let's study some "WEATHER IDIOMS".

Sample Dialogue:

A: It was raining cats and dogs last night that I couldn't sleep really well.
B: Me either. The noise on the roof caused by the heavy rain kept me up all night.
A: Yeah... Good thing the weather is fine now.
B: The weather forecast said it might rain again tonight, though.

When it rains, it pours.

• said when one bad thing happens, followed by a lot of other bad things that make a bad situation worse

Sample Dialogue

A: I must be the unluckiest person on earth today!
B: Huh? Why? What happened?
A: I woke up late this morning with a terrible hangover, so obviously I was late for work. Boss got really angry at me gave me twice the usual task. I had to cancel my date tonight because I need to work overtime... and guess what? My girlfriend is furious about it!
B: Ohh... I'm sorry to hear that. When it rains, it pours!
A: (sigh) Yeah right...

Every cloud has a silver lining.

• said to emphasize that every difficult or unpleasant situation has some advantage

Sample Dialogue:

A: Sir, how did you become this successful?
B: Actually, it's because of my great motivation. After losing my job a couple years ago, it inspired me to build up my own small business. It was tough at first, but I didn't give up.
A: Wow! That's great. Every cloud has a silver lining.
B: For sure. You just have to be optimistic and live on.

It’s a storm in a teacup.

• a disproportionate reaction of anger, concern, or displeasure over some minor or trivial matter.

Sample Dialogue:

A: Why are there a lot of people here?
B: They're protesting against that company.
A: ABC Company??? I think this protest will die down soon enough.
B: That's true. I think this is just a storm in a teacup.

Come rain or shine.

• whatever happens

Sample Dialogue:

A: I'm having mixed feelings about this contest. I'm excited and nervous at the same time.
B: It's natural to feel that way. It's your first time to join an international singing contest anyway.
A: That's true, but what if I lose?
B: Come rain or shine, I'll always support and be here for you!
A: Thank you so much!
