Question V: Read the passage and answer the questions(2.5pts)
The general opinion abroad is that London has fog or rain or both every day
of the
year, but on the day I arrived it was fine and warm, there was a bright sun
and a cloudless sky. The next day it was just as beautiful; there was a slight
wind that
gently moved the leaves on the trees, and you could smell the spring in the
air.
"Life is grand" I thought as I walked in Kensington gardens. It was a
straight road
and I found the way quite easily. When I got my first sight of the gardens
the
beauty of it nearby took my breath away. The trees were just bursting into
leaf,
fresh and green and lovely, and were beds of spring flowers, red and yellow
and
blue., in the beautiful, smooth grass under the trees.
People in light spring clothes were walking about, and to my surprise, they
walked
not only along to the paths but also across the grass, and no one said a word
to
them about it. I had never seen such a thing before.

1.What is the weather like in London according to the general opinion abroad?
