Today is Saturday. Li Ming and his foreign friend Leo are on a video call.
Li Ming: Hi, Leo! How are you?
Leo: Hey, Li Ming! I’m doing great. Guess where I am now. Yes, on the beach! I will swim in the sea.
Li Ming: Wow, you are just wearing shorts and a T-shirt! You see, here in my city, it’s snowing heavily.
Li Leo: The weather in China and Australia is so different.
Li Ming: That’s true! The temperature video is -10℃. I’m wearing a scarf, gloves, and boots.
Leo: Come to Australia, and you can take off your heavy clothes and enjoy the cool sea water.
Li Ming: That sounds exciting! But a snowman and a snowball fight are also fun. Don’t you think so?

How do you pronounce “-10°C”? That’s “minus ten degrees Celsius” or “ten degrees below zero”
