Michael: I was born in Beijing, but I live in Shanghai now. How about you?
Emma: I’m from Scotland.
Michael: Oh? What’s it like?
Emma: Well, the weather is pretty cold there. Actually, most of Scotland is cols and often wet. I’m sure it’s the coldest part of the British Isles.
Michael: Beijing is very cold in winter too, although it’s more of a dry cold, if you know what I mean. However, I like winter; it’s my favorite season. Summer is just too hot!
Emma: Well ,I think you’re lucky to have a hot summer. Scotland’s summer is prettymiserable, wet and cold.
Michael: Do you think people’s personalities are defined by the climate they live in?
Emma: Well, that’s an interesting idea. I think there’s definitely something in it, because when the weather is hot, I easily lose my temper, but when it’s cooler, I feel much calmer.
Michael: If it’s raining I always feel depressed. I cry along with the weather!
Emma: Spring always makes me feel happy; the birds are singing and the whole atmosphere seems cheerful.
Michael: Hmm, I agree. I think spring is my favorite season too.
Emma: What about the winter blues? What are they?
Michael: Well, that means you’re down in the dumps, because the weather’s so gloomy and cold. You feel all sad and blue! I often get them.
Emma: Oh, I don’t. I love winter, but I suppose you could say I get the summer reds! I always see red in the hot weather and get into arguments and stuff.
Michael: A,B,E,G
Emma: c,d,f,h
