1. 0:00Hi everyone! My name is Mia,
2. 0:02and today
3. 0:03I’d like to tell you about a rainy day I had recently.
4. 0:08The rain started early in the morning
5. 0:10and continued for several hours.
6. 0:13It affected my journey to work,
7. 0:15my lunchtime plans,
8. 0:17and even a few simple tasks I had planned for the day.
9. 0:22I woke up at around 6:30 in the morning.
10. 0:26The room was darker than usual,
11. 0:28so at first, I thought it was still very early.
12. 0:33Then I heard raindrops hitting the window.
13. 0:36The sound was steady and quite loud.
14. 0:40I got out of bed and opened the curtains.
15. 0:44The sky was completely grey,
16. 0:46and the street below was already wet.
17. 0:49Water was running along the side of the road,
18. 0:52and a few people were walking quickly under umbrellas.
19. 0:57Some cars had their headlights on
20. 0:59because it was still quite dark outside.
21. 1:03I checked the weather forecast on my phone.
22. 1:06It said that the rain would
23. 1:08continue for most of the morning.
24. 1:10I had planned to go to a small supermarket before work,
25. 1:14but I decided to leave that task until the evening.
26. 1:19After washing my face and getting dressed,
27. 1:22I went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
28. 1:25I prepared some toast,
29. 1:27a boiled egg, and a cup of hot coffee.
30. 1:31While I was eating, the rain became heavier.
31. 1:35I could hear water hitting the roof and the windows.
32. 1:39Before leaving home, I packed my laptop,
33. 1:43charger, and notebook in a waterproof bag.
34. 1:47I also took a large umbrella
35. 1:49and wore a light rain jacket.
36. 1:52I usually wear simple shoes to work,
37. 1:55but that morning
38. 1:56I chose a pair that would not be damaged
39. 1:59easily by water.
40. 2:01When I stepped outside,
41. 2:03the air felt cool and fresh.
42. 2:06However, the pavement was slippery,
43. 2:09and there were several large puddles
44. 2:11near the entrance of my building.
45. 2:14I had to walk slowly and carefully.
46. 2:17At the bus stop,
47. 2:19about ten people were waiting under a small shelter.
48. 2:23Everyone stood close together
49. 2:25because the rain was blowing in from the side.
50. 2:28One woman was holding an umbrella and a shopping bag,
51. 2:32while a man was trying to keep his newspaper dry.
52. 2:36The bus arrived about fifteen minutes late.
53. 2:40Traffic was moving slowly
54. 2:41because some parts of the road were covered with water.
55. 2:45When I got on, most of the seats were already taken,
56. 2:49so I stood near the middle of the bus
57. 2:52and held the handrail.
58. 2:54The windows were covered with small drops of water,
59. 2:58and it was difficult to see the buildings outside clearly.
60. 3:02Cars moved slowly, and people crossed the street
61. 3:06while holding umbrellas in different colors.
62. 3:10I arrived at work later than usual.
63. 3:13My jacket was wet around the shoulders,
64. 3:15but everything inside my bag was dry.
65. 3:19Several of my coworkers were also late
66. 3:21because of the traffic.
67. 3:23We left our umbrellas in a stand near the entrance
68. 3:27so that water would not drip across the office floor.
69. 3:31During the morning, the rain continued.
70. 3:34At lunchtime,
71. 3:36my coworkers and I usually walked to a café nearby,
72. 3:40but that day we ordered food instead.
73. 3:44I chose a chicken sandwich and some soup.
74. 3:47We ate together in the break room
75. 3:49while listening to the rain outside.
76. 3:52By about three o’clock, the rain finally became lighter.
77. 3:57The sky was still cloudy,
78. 3:59but the water on the street had started to go down.
79. 4:03When work ended,
80. 4:04I stopped at the supermarket as planned.
81. 4:07I bought milk,
82. 4:08bread, fruit, and a few vegetables.
83. 4:13I carried everything home in a reusable bag
84. 4:16and was lucky that the rain had almost stopped.
85. 4:20At home, I placed my umbrella near the door to dry.
86. 4:25Then I cleaned the wet marks from my shoes
87. 4:28and changed into dry clothes.
88. 4:31After that,
89. 4:32I went to the kitchen and made a simple dinner.
90. 4:35By the evening,
91. 4:37the rain had become only a soft sound outside my window.
92. 4:52If something is steady, it continues in a regular way and does not change suddenly.
93. 4:59The rain was steady and quite loud in the morning.
94. 5:12A weather forecast is a report that tells people what the weather will probably be like.
95. 5:19Mia checked the weather forecast before leaving for work.
96. 5:31If something is waterproof, it does not let water pass through it.
97. 5:37Mia wore a waterproof jacket because it was raining heavily.
98. 5:50If something is slippery, it is difficult to walk on or hold because it is wet or smooth.
99. 5:58The sidewalk was slippery after several hours of rain.
100. 6:10Puddles are small pools of water on the ground, usually after rain.
101. 6:16Mia walked carefully around the puddles on the street.

103. 6:34Mia waited under a small shelter until the rain became lighter.

105. 6:50Water started to drip from Mia’s umbrella onto the floor.
106. 7:02If the sky is cloudy, it is covered with many clouds.
107. 7:07The sky was cloudy, and the morning looked darker than usual.
