Everyone talks about the weather, it's the most common subject of conversation (談話). For example, “Isn't it a fine day?” “Do you think it will rain?” “I think it's going to snow.” All this is the way of starting a conversation.
Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like. And they hardly ever agree with each other. One man may say, “Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It's going to rain tomorrow.”
People often look for (期待) the weather they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell him it is going to rain; he won't believe anything else. When friends have a picnic, they are so sure the weather is going to become clear very quickly that they won' t sit eating their lunch while it rains.
Almost everyone listens to what the weatherman says. But he doesn't tell them what they want and once in a while he makes a mistake. Still, he will come closer to being correct (正確的) than anyone else.

Your daughter has finally reached the age of 18, and you think perhaps your job will finally get a little easier. That could be wrong thinking - as the parent of any 18-year-old will tell you. Learning to cope with an ungrateful 18-year-old daughter takes patience, understanding and time.
_______ When she was a little girl, she wanted you to be involved(參和) in everything of her life from her daily activities to her friends. This is' no longer the case. She's a grown woman who needs her own personal life. Comment(評論) on her choices only when asked to do so - especially if you want to say no to her.
Allow her to make mistakes. No parent wants to see his or her child fall, but the days of protecting her all the time are at an end. Unless(除非) you see a train coming, let her fall when she makes poor choices. It will enable her to grow past the ungrateful "know it all" stage.
Encourage dialogue whenever you can, rather than planning talks. She's more likely to open up to you when talking over something trivial (瑣碎的). Anytime she wants to talk, become a willing listener in the conversation. You never know when a deeper, more important conversation will develop.

"How are you?" is a nice question.It's a friendly way that people in the U.S.A greet each other.But "How are you?" is also a very unusual question.It's a question that often doesn't need an answer.The person who asks "How are you?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine", even if the person's friend isn't fine.The reason is that "How are you?" isn't really a question and "Fine" isn't really an answer.They are simply other ways of saying "Hello" or "Hi".
Sometimes, people also don't say exactly what they mean.For example, when someone asks "Do you agree?", the other person might think, "No, I disagree.I think you're wrong ..." But it isn't very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say "I'm not sure." It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone.
People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people.For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says "I've to go now." Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse."Someone's at the door." "Something is burning on the stove (爐灶)." The excuses might be real, or not.Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't polite to say that.The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person.
When they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don't say exactly what they are thinking.It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it's part of the game of language.
