Sample Answers

Do you like rainy days? Actually, I do. I think rainy days are a great excuse to stay indoors and catch up on some reading or watch a movie. Plus, the sound of the rain outside is really soothing. It's like the whole world is calming down, you know, and it's a good time to relax.

Does it rain much where you live? Well, I live in a pretty temperate climate, so we get our fair share of rain throughout the year. I'd say it rains about once or twice a week, but it's never too heavy or too light. Just a nice, gentle rain that keeps everything green and lush. I really like it.

Would you like to live in a dry climate, or a rainy one? Hmm, that's a tough one. I think I'd prefer a rainy climate, actually. I love the smell of wet earth and the way the plants look after a good rain. Plus, I'm not a huge fan of super hot weather, so I think I'd find a dry climate a bit too harsh. Give me a rainy day anytime, and I'm a happy person!

Do you often change your plans if it’s rainy weather? Yeah, I do, actually. If it's raining, I'll often postpone outdoor plans and do something indoors instead. But if it's a light drizzle, I might still go ahead with my plans, especially if they're important. I mean, a little rain never hurt anyone, right? But if it's a heavy downpour, I'll definitely reschedule. I don't want to get soaked to the bone!
