1- What is the weather like up there in Durham?
2- Awful! It's cold, cloudy and rainy.
3- It is always rainy here in March.
4- How is it over there in Cornwall?
5- Great. It is warm and sunny.
6- We are really lucky.

Notes:

Terrible: “awful”, “ugly”
Example:
The weather's terrible --> The weather is terrible.
It has no positive connotation like in French. There are a number of English words that are "treacherous", meaning they sound like "homegrown" words but have a different meaning. We'll get to that later.

Here's how to form an adjective from a noun:
a cloud --> a cloud.
cloudy --> cloudy.

The rain --> the rain.
Rainy --> rainy.

Always: always (all the time, constantly)
It's always hot in Cornwall. --> It's always hot in Cornwall.

Here: here indicates the location of the speaker: The weather here is great. Whereas there denotes a distant place (over there) What's the weather like there?.

Hello everyone, my name is SERDAR. I am originally Kurdish but I was born in Turkey and grew up there. I work in a construction company in zone 4, Abidjan and I want to teach the Turkish language for the volunteers.

What are the reasons for learning Turkish?

Whether for personal or professional reasons, learning Turkish can help. This language is not the most taught but has a particular musicality and history. Indeed, straddling Europe and Asia, it has been a hub of world culture since Antiquity. In a constant in-between, this vast territory contains many treasures. Turkey also abounds in superb regions of which Anatolia is the main symbol. In addition, Turkish is a language with a very special history. Did you know that Turkish is spoken by millions of people around the world? Even if the country which saw the birth of this language is its main home, this language has undergone multiple transformations. Thus, in the former USSR, speaking Turkish was not uncommon: almost 48 million people practiced it! Today, there are many Turkish speakers in Bulgaria, but also in Greece, Bosnia and Herzegovina or in the north of the island of Cyprus. Turkey is also one of Europe's main economic and trading partners, importing and exporting tons of food and manufactured goods each year. Speaking Turkish is therefore an important advantage in the current economic and geopolitical context. You will thus be able to offer your language skills to employers in fields as varied as commerce, economics, industry, IT ...
