(Aqui podéis descargaros el audio y ver la traducción completa)
Michael and Victoria live in Australia and are planning a trip to the United States. They are flying to Miami, New York and Alaska and they don’t know what the weather is going to be like.
Victoria looks at the weather channel on the Internet. She finds out that in New York it will be partly cloudy with a slight chance of showers. The high will be around 80F with East Northeast winds of 15 to 25 mph.
“I find that the temperature is surprisingly high for this time of the year in New York” Victoria says to Michael.“For Miami I suppose we’ll have to pack our bathing suits” Michael adds.
“It seems like we aren’t going to be very lucky. The weather forecast for Miami is as follows” says Victoria “Sunny with cloudy intervals. High of 57F. Winds South, 5 to 10 mph.
“What? Only 57F? That’s very low. I can’t believe it. That temperature can’t be right for Miami. Besides it’s going to be windy.”
“Yeah” agreed Victoria. “It seems like we’ll have to take our bathing suits for New York instead of for Miami. And, remember, later we’ll go to Juneau, Alaska”.
“Yes, that’s going to be very cold. Right?” asks Michael.
“Let me see. I’ll check it on the weather channel again. It says: Juneau, Alaska.Overcast with rain showers at times. Temperatures in the mid to upper 30s. Winds East Southeast, 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 50%.”

“Brrr…that’s going to be very cold. I think I’d rather go to the Caribbean. I want to enjoy a hot climate, sunny skies and no thunderstorms.”
“There are also thunderstorms in the Caribbean” says Victoria.
“Yes, I know, but that’s only from May to June and September to October.”
“Shall we change our tickets then?” asks Victoria

WHY?
The International Day of Peace, also known as the World Peace Day, occurs annually on 21 September. It is dedicated to peace, and specifically the absence of war, such as might be occasioned by a temporary ceasefire in a combat zone.
