My old friend, Harrison, had lived in the Mediterranean for many years before he returned to England. He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down in the country. He had no sooner returned than he bought a house and went to live there. Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather, for even though it was still summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold. After so many years of sunshine, Harrison got a shock. He acted as if he had never lived in England before. In the end, it was more than he could bear. He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country. The dream he had had for so many years ended there. Harrison had thought of everything except the weather.

老朋友哈里森在地中海地区住了多年,后来回到英国。他常梦想退休后回英国,已经计划好在乡下定居。 他刚回来,就买了房子搬进去。 可几乎立刻,他就开始抱怨天气。明明还是夏天,却老是下雨,常常冷得厉害。他在阳光充足的地方住惯了,对这样的天气很不适应,简直像从没在英国住过一样。 最后,他实在受不了了。还没来得及安顿下来,就把房子卖了,离开了英国。 他多年的梦想就这样结束了。哈里森什么都想到了,偏偏没想到天气。
学完这一课
先沿这条线复述《唯独没有考虑到天气》:多年盼着回国 → 一回来就买房 → 天气打破期待 → 很快又卖房离开 → 漏算了最关键的一项。再借一个结构讲自己的事:选出文中的两个动作,哪个先发生?再用自己的经历写一对。
