READ ALONG TO PRACTICE YOUR ENGLISH AND TO LEARN THE MEANING OF TURN OF EVENTS AND TOPSY-TURVY: So we've had an interesting turn of events here in Canada, at least in the part of Canada where I live. If you can see behind me, it's starting to snow again. I thought it was starting to feel a little more like spring, but we've had an unexpected turn of events, and it's starting to snow. In English, when you say that you have a turn of events, it usually means that things have changed and now are going in a different direction. They're going in a direction you didn't expect them to go. So, I thought that spring was right around the corner, but we have had an interesting turn of events, a surprising turn of events, an unexpected turn of events. And now, it seems like winter is back for a little bit. In fact, we're expecting a huge snowstorm tonight, we're going to get 15 centimeters of snow tonight, and there's also a chance that, a small chance, that I might not have to go to work tomorrow. We might have a snow day. So, an unexpected turn of events, winter is back. In fact, if I was to describe this winter, I would say that this winter has been topsy-turvy. This is kind of an older English phrase, or word. When you say something is topsy-turvy, it means that it's kind of like upside down and backwards and the opposite of what you expected. This winter has been very topsy-turvy, sometimes there has been days on end where we've had no snow, sometimes we've had lots of snow, and then it melts, and then a few days later, it snows again. So this winter has been very topsy-turvy. It's been a little bit upside down and a little bit backwards at times. Anyways, when you have a turn of events, it means things start to go a different direction, they start to go in a direction you weren't expecting. And when things are topsy-turvy, they're kinda upside down and backwards and just generally weird. I guess you could say, this has been kind of a weird winter. Anyways, Bob the Canadian here, sorry for talking so fast today, I'm trying to get this done quick, because it's raining. Have a good day, bye.
