Why this matters
A radio weather report, heard only: the morning in the north and the south, the afternoon, the evening wind, the night, tomorrow, and a piece of advice. The report is organised by region and time of day, and so are the questions — im Norden / im Süden / im Osten, am Vormittag / Nachmittag / Abend, in der Nacht, morgen — so the trick is to attach each weather word to its slot as you hear it. Two grammar points carry the meaning: es wird wärmer / kälter / besser (the comparative after werden) and the formal imperative in the advice at the end, Nehmen Sie … mit. It is the kind of short broadcast you catch on the radio before setting off.
Translation
Good morning, dear listeners! Here is the weather report for today, Tuesday. In the morning it is still cold in the north and it is raining, only eight degrees in Hamburg. In the south it is foggy in the morning, but dry. In the afternoon the sun shines in the south and it gets warmer, about twenty degrees in Munich. In the north it stays cloudy, but the rain stops at midday. In the evening a strong wind comes from the west, on the coast up to sixty kilometres an hour. During the night it gets colder everywhere, in the east only three degrees. And tomorrow? Tomorrow it gets better: the sun shines all over Germany, and in the afternoon it is almost twenty-five degrees. Take an umbrella in the north today – and sunglasses tomorrow! That was the weather. Have a nice day!
