(I think that, of all silly, imitating things by which we are troubled, this "weather forecast" fraud is
Babout the most annoying it "forecasts" exactly what happened yesterday or the day before, and
exactly the opposite of what is coing to happen today
I remember a holiday of mine being completely spoilt one late autumn by our paying attention to
the weather report of the local newspaper. "Heavy showers, with thunderstorms, may be expected
today, it would say on Monday, and so we would give up our picnic, and stay indoors all day,
waiting for the rain And people would pass the house, going off in wagonettesand coaches as jolly
and merry as could be, the sun shining out, and not a cloud to be seen "Ah" we said, as we stood
looking out at them through the window, "they will come home soaked "! We laughed to think how
wet they were going to get, and came back and stirred the fire, and got our books.

we
By twelve 'O dock, with the sun pouring in to the room, the heat became quite severe, and we
wondered when those heavy showers and occasional thunderstorms were going to begin. "Ah! They
will come in the afternoon all vet, you will see", we said to each other. At one 'O clock, the land
lady would come in to ask if we weren't going out, as it seemed such a lovely day, "No, no,
replied, with a knowing laugh, "not we. We don't mean to get wet-no, no". And when the afternoon
was nearly gone, and still there was no sign of rain, we tried to cheer ourselves up with the idea that
it would come down all at once, just as the people had started for home, and that they would wet
completely drenched. But not a drop ever fell
, and it finished a grand day, and a lovely night after it.
The next morning we would read that it was going to be a "warm fine day "and we would dress
ourselves in flimsy things, and go out, and, half-an-hour after we have started, it would begin to
rain hard, and it would keep on steadily for the whole day, and we would come home with colds.
The weather is a thing that is beyond me altogether. I never can understand it.
(a) The speaker says that the weather forecast predicts exactly
(b) What is the speakers 'opinion about the weather forecast?
(c) When everyone else was going out, why were the speaker and his friends at home?
(d) Why does the speaker say "I nevercan understand it". What is he referring to?
(e) Give a suitable title for this passage.

Answer:
here's ur answer
You can measure your pulse rate by counting the beats for a set period of time. Place your index and middle finger on the underside of your opposite wrist, below the base of the thumb. Another place to measure your pulse is just to the side of your Adam's apple, in the soft area at the side of your neck.
hope it helps you
