These days, meteorologists give us 0) reasonably (reason) accurate weather forecasts. but what did we do before 1) (science) used modern technology to predict the weather? well, people looked at their 2) (surround) to get clues about what the weather might be like. for example, the movements of clouds tell us a lot about future weather conditions. clouds moving in different 3) (direct) usually mean bad weather is not far off. animal 4) (behave) is another good clue. look to see where birds are flying in the air. if they are flying higher than usual, the weather will be nice. stand still and listen. many animals, 5) (particular) birds, tend to go quiet just before it rains. how the air smells is another 6) (use) indicator of future weather conditions. there is a saying, lowers smell best just before the rain'. this is because smells are stronger in humid air. one more tip; look up at the moon. if you can see it 7) ( clear), it means that the weather has cooled and rain is 8) (probable )on the way. of course, none of these methods are perfect and it would be 9) (correct )to use them instead of modern technology. but they do have their uses. so why not learn them? you never know when they might be 10) . (help )

But what did we do before 1) (SCIENtists) used modern technology to predict the weather? Well, people looked at their 2) (SURROUNDings) to get clues about what the weather might be like. For example, the movements of clouds tell us a lot about future weather conditions. Clouds moving in different 3)
(DIRECTions) usually mean bad weather is not far off. Animal 4)
(BEHAViour) is another good clue. Look to see where birds are flying in the air. If they are flying higher than usual, the weather will be nice. Stand still and listen. Many animals, 5) (PARTICULARly) birds, tend to go quiet just before it rains. How the air smells is another 6) (USEful) indicator of future weather conditions. There is a saying, lowers smell best just before the rain'. This is because smells are stronger in humid air. One more tip; look up at the moon. If you can see it 7) ( CLEARly), it means that the weather has cooled and rain is 8) (PROBABLy) on the way. Of course, none of these methods are perfect and it would be 9) (inCORRECT ) to use them instead of modern technology. But they do have their uses. So why not learn them? You never know when they might be 10) (HELPful ).
