Questions and Answers
Q: What is your favourite season? Why?
A:I like spring and autumn. Everything wakes up in spring — the flowers and trees start to blossom, and the smell outside is kind of sweet. I like the different colours during autumn and the pleasant sunshine.
Q: Do you like having different seasons, or would you prefer to have the same weather all year round?
A: It would be nice to have spring all year round. I wouldn’t mind at all.
Q: Is there something you would like to change about the seasons in Slovakia?
A: Yes, more snow during the winter! I used to love winter when it was snowing, but now it’s just cold and windy.
Q: Why do most people like summer?
A:Mostly because the days are longer and the nights are warmer. You can also do lots of different activities outside during the summer.
Q:Do you visit countries with different weather during the winter?
A: I don’t, but I think it would be nice to wear a dress somewhere in a different country while everyone at home is freezing.
Q: Are you a fan of summer holidays?
A: When I was a child, yes, because there was no school — but now, not particularly.
Q: Is there any particular time of year that you do not like?
A: The crazy time before Christmas — people are stressed, nervous, and everywhere!
