　　Weather and Climate

　　What type of weather do you like?

　　I love sunny days with azure skies. So I can do a lot of outdoor activities.

　　I love cold weather and particularly enjoy it when it snows.

　　I love rainy days, because I love the feeling of walking in rain.

　　直截了当的回答加简单的原因描述使大多数考官所喜欢听到的内容。以下是天气和季节描述的基本词汇：

　　Spring: warm, windy, dusty, sand-storm, flowers blossoming

　　Summer: Hot, rainy, wet (lots of rain), stormy, humid, sunny, stuffy, sweltering, sauna-like

　　Fall/autumn: Cool, crisp, mild, cozy, clear/azure sky, golden season

　　Winter: Cold, freezing, snowy, icy, short days, long nights

　　What type of weather do Chinese people usually like?

　　I think it really varies according to age, where they live, and what they love to do with their time. Generally most Chinese people like sunny days, though some people may like rainy days, particularly those live in arid places.

　　对13亿人口的喜好进行估计确实很困难，不过考生也可以巧妙地回答。其实没有明确给出答案也是一种回答的方式。要知道考官考察的是考生的英语交流能力而非知识水平。

　　Which is your most/least favorite season?

　　I love fall more than any other seasons. During fall, the temperature is neither very hot nor very cold, just crisp. And the humidity is neither too high nor too low. In addition, it is also a golden season, a season of harvest.

　　Well, I find winter is the hardest season of all. I just hate cold weather. To begin with, it really bothers me when I am down with flu. Plus, I have to wear a lot to keep my body warm in order not to catch a cold. It just makes me look as stupid as a bear.

　　和以上的很多题目相同，考生需要回答为什么喜欢或者不喜欢某个季节。

　　Do you do different things in summer and in winter?

　　Of course. In summer I tend to do more outdoor activities, whereas I spend most of my time at home in winter, surfing on internet, for example.

　　考生在回答时可以使用以下表达比较的句式：

　　…, whereas …

　　…, but on the contrary …

　　…, while in the meantime …

　　What do you often do on sunny/rainy days?

　　I often do a lot of outdoor activities on sunny days, such as playing basketball, hiking to the nearest lake and so on.

　　On rainy days, I would rather like to stay at home, either watching TV or taking a rest.

　　一般在晴朗的好天气里，人们喜欢做大量的户外活动如：散步，运动，旅游等等。而在雨天或者较恶劣的天气里，人们更喜欢待在室内。

　　What is the weather like in your city?

　　Beijing has a typical temperate zone climate. During most time of the year, Beijing is dry. But in summer, when the weather becomes hot, it rains a lot. And in winter, the weather becomes very windy and it causes the temperature to drop sharply. Generally speaking, the four seasons in Beijing have their distinct features.

　　Because my hometown is far from the sea, in general it is pretty dry. Winter is a bit cold, dry and windy, and with a bit of snow. Spring is short and windy. Summer is hot and slightly humid, and the temperature can go as high as 38 degrees Celsius. So it can be kind of uncomfortable in the summer unless you have air conditioning. Finally fall is probably the best season—it’s very comfortable—not windy, and not too cold or too hot like the other seasons.
