I also upload my worksheets on ISL Collective, normally a day or two after I have done so here. br You can order my books by pasting this into the browser: https://www.amazon.es/Dale-Bates/e/B08QD5M5PQ?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1613573760&sr=8-1

Weather idioms exercise with key
A small cloze exercise for advanced students complete with key and fully editable. Something I did a few years ago and it has been sitting on my PC doing nothing ever since. Not sure if some of the expressions are different the other side of the pond or not. You might need to check.
