We have looked at a Part-2 speech about your favourite season. After realizing how important it is to use a pattern, we learned how to add structure to that speech. But how about Part-3 questions?

Do you think that the weather affects people’s moods?

Sure, I guess it depends on the case person, but for the majority of us are highly affected by weather. For example, most people enjoy sunny days, which enliven us and fill us with optimism, whereas bad weather makes people feel depressed or pessimistic, especially if it inconveniences their lives. On the other hand, bad weather puts some people in a good mood. For example fishermen who are eager for the huge amounts of fish can catch more fish in the raining day on rainy days. or Farmers might also be pleased by a lot of rain, which water from rain can be used to help crops grow in the desert dry areas. It is due to the fact that water rain can water or irrigate the crops.

First, it must be said that the majority of us normal people are highly affected by weather. What I mean is, most people enjoy sunny days, which enliven us and fill us with optimism, whereas bad weather makes people feel depressed or pessimistic, especially if it inconveniences their lives.

On the other hand, in some professions the weather is crucial. For example fishermen who are eager for the huge amounts of fish can catch more fish on rainy days. or Farmers might also be pleased by a lot of rain, which  can be used to help crops grow in dry areas. It is due to the fact that rain can water or irrigate the crops.

All in all, I’d say that the weather is a vital part of people’s daily life and seems to affect most of us in one way or another.
