2. Do you prefer cold or hot weather?
I love colder weather more than hotter one because I love layering. I guess it is easy to style clothes when the temperature is around 15 to 25 degree Celsius. In hot weather, especially one with high humidity, I would sweat profusely, which makes me very conscious of body odor and things like that.

3. Do you prefer dry or wet weather?
Of course dry weather. Who would love to walk to school or work on rainy days? I must say I’m extra moody when it’s freezingly cold and wet outside. All I want to do is to curl up in bed at home and do nothing. When it’s all bright and sunny, I just can’t say enough good things about it.
Từ vựng đã sử dụng trong câu trả lời mẫu chủ đề Weather Speaking Part 1:
freezingly cold (noun): rét căm căm
4. Do you often check weather forecasts?
Almost everyday literally since a seven day forecast is only 70% accurate. I need to be prepared for what I will wear and what activities I will do for the day.
1. What’s the weather like in your country?
Sample 1: Well, as you could probably tell, I’m currently residing in Vietnam, which is a tropical country. When it comes to the weather here, for the most part, it’s kinda scorching hot and humid year-round. I mean, there have been reports about the heatwaves of over 40 degrees celsius in Hanoi in the recent years during summer. In winter, it used to be frigid but now it’s a bit more pleasant and bearable. And I guess it’s due to global warming.
Sample 2: Well, I live in Saigon, where it’s hot and humid all year round. It is often said that there are only two seasons here: the rainy season and the dry season.
2. Does the weather affect what you do?
Sample 1: Absolutely. I mean, when the weather is unfavourable like when it’s too sunny, I tend to procrastinate my plan until late afternoon. 5 or 6 pm, because that’s when the temperature lowers a little bit. On the other hand, when it rains heavily for too long, I’m kinda reluctant to drive so I think I would just get a Grab to get around.
Sample 2: Oh yeah, definitely! In Saigon, most of us get around on bikes, so when it’s pouring rain, we prefer to stay indoors. Riding a motorbike in the rain is basically asking for trouble. On top of that, between 11 am and 4 pm, it’s scorching hot outside. I’d sweat buckets in less than five minutes if I dared to step out into the blazing sun. So, if I see rain on the horizon or temperatures soaring above 35 degrees Celsius, you bet I’ll cancel my plans.
3. What is your favorite season?
Sample 1: Well, I gotta say it’s definitely autumn. I mean Hanoi possesses 4 distinct seasons in a year. In summery months, it’s usually sweltering and stuffy and I’m sure you cannot make it through the summer without an air conditioner. Winter is too cold and it rains a lot in spring. So hands-down, autumn is my go-to season.
Sample 2: Well, you see, we don’t have a proper fall or spring here. It’s just hot or rainy most of the time. But if I had to pick, I’d say I’m most comfortable around Christmas. The weather cools down a bit, and the sun doesn’t roast us every day. Unfortunately, that heavenly weather only lasts for about two weeks each year.
4. What’s the weather like where you live?
I come from a mountainous area so the weather there is pretty mild all year round, neither too hot nor too cold, which is kinda ideal for an outdoorsy person like me.
5. Are you in the habit of checking the weather forecast?
Sample 1: Not really, I only have a look at it whenever I need to go out for special occasions. On top of that, the weather in Vietnam is fairly predictable so I think it’s unnecessary to check the weather forecast all the time.
Sample 2: Honestly, I don’t check the weather much these days because it’s pretty predictable here in Saigon. I make a point of carrying a raincoat and an umbrella with me all the time, just in case. But when I lived in Melbourne, it was a different story. The weather there could change like crazy! Like, the morning could be bright and sunny and a nice 20 degrees Celsius, but it could shoot up to 40 by 3pm, and then drop to 10 by sunset. Back then, I always had to look up the weather forecast on my phone before heading out, just to dress appropriately and figure out whether I should drive or take public transport.
6. What do you think are the effects of climate change in recent years?
Sample 1: I suppose global warming has numerous adverse effects on not only humans but other species as well. A variety of species are at risk of becoming extinct due to climate change-related problems such as forest fires, extreme weather, and diseases. The change in the global surface temperature can also exacerbate water shortages in already water-stressed regions, leading to many people now facing the threat of not having enough water on a regular basis.
Sample 2: Well, there has been countless evidence of climate change lately. I’ve read about iconic cities like Venice and Jakarta sinking because of rising sea levels caused by melting glaciers. And it’s not just about cities. The rippling effects of global warming also include habitat loss, pushing several species closer to the brink of extinction. Here in Saigon, it has become apparent that the rainy season starts earlier and lasts longer compared to 20 years ago. And summers have never been hotter!
7. Would you like to visit other cities that have different climates from where you live?
Sample 1: Sure, it would be terrific if I got to enjoy different climates in other regions. Though I count myself very fortunate to have been able to enjoy four distinct seasons in Hanoi, I’d like to have some more novel experiences with other kinds of weather.
Sample 2: Yeah, for sure. I’d love to check out a city where it’s cool and pleasant year-round. Imagine being able to go out whenever you want without worrying about the weather. That’d be amazing!
