Lesson 38 Everything/ except the weather
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 fine 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.

38. Harrison had dreamed for many years/ when he retired from work in the Mediterranean, he would live in England. He just bought a new house and went to live there. It seems that his dream come true, but he just found out that he couldn’t stand the weather. To him, it is wet and cold always. He couldn’t bear the weather anymore and just left the county. He thought of everything but the weather.
