Some people prefer to live in places that have the same v/eather or climate all year long ・ Others like to live in areas v/here the v/eather changes several times a year・ Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice・
There is no denying the fact that whether to choose a place that have the same weather all year long, or a place where the v/eather changes several times a year is a popular topic which is much talked about・Although it seems that normally we cannot tell which one outweigh the other between these two kinds of places, they deserve some close examination.
If three criteria were taken into account, I would prefer living in areas v/here the v/eather changes several times a year to living in places that have the same v/eather or climate all year Iong・ There are no less than three advantages in this as rendered below・
First, varied weather or climate broadens the icnge of our pastimes. For example, we can go swimmi ng in summer “nd go skiing in win ter ・ If the place we live in has only hot weather all year long, like Singapore, most of us can never go skiing in our lives・
Secondly, the change of climate gives us opportunities to wear many kinds of clothes・ Some say it is a waste of money to buy clothes depending on seasons・ However, vvearing various clothes, looking at others* fashion, and feeling the change of seasons is very interesting for me. Thirdly, changing of seasons is good for our health・ When winter comes our body' s metabolism slows down, and when summer comes it speeds up, so that our body can main tain a good rhythm.
Also snows in the v/inter can kill a lot of bacteria and bad in sects, so that in the spri ng our cha nee of being infected to a disease is decreased and we can enjoy nice atmosphere and sceneries・
For these reasons, I prefer to live in areas that have several changes of weather. Only these three reasons con make a person draw the conclusion that living in areas that have season changes is better, not to mention there are more・
