Model Answer 1

What kind of weather it is?

Seasons are prevalent in India. The four distinct seasons can be found here. Whether that is rainy is my favourite. When it rains, I enjoy the mud's fragrance. I'm captivated by it, and my mind wanders to imaginative places. And the winds freeze my body and mind, giving me a boost of fresh vitality.

When this weather usually occurs?

The greenery and calmness after the rain seem very satisfactory to me. Rain helps in nurturing several big and small ecosystems by supplying an adequate amount of water to them. This saves the lives of several land and marine animals. Furthermore, the rainwater reaches several dry trees and plants giving them a new life and saving the environment.
In West Bengal, the weather remains to change and being a resident of West Bengal I enjoy the rain. The rainy season here starts in July and remains until the month of October.

What you usually do during this weather?

The rainy weather relieves people from the hot summer breezes. It turns out to be a heat as well as a stress reliever as the summer season does not let people enjoy their lives. Humidity is one of the major contributors to this as neither fan nor the desert cooler is able to cool the room in humid areas.

Explain how this weather affects you?

The humid weather seriously feels like a burden on the shoulders and one cannot make it disappear. It is only after rain that the environment becomes pleasant and cheerful. When it rains, I often turn on the music and listen to old Hindi songs. These include happy as well as sad songs but they help me to relax and take a break whenever I feel stressed.

Explain why you like this type of weather?

However, there is only one thing that I dislike about the rainy weather is that it gets muddy everywhere. The road gets covered with mud and sometimes the rain forces sewers to go overall. In the end, all the roads seem to be dirty. It makes it difficult for everyone to walk or even drive on these slippery roads. Moreover, if someone falls by mistake, then there is a great chance of serious injuries.

Model Answer 2

What kind of weather it is?

Weather affects the entire city or district in addition to the individual who enjoys it. I enjoy winter or at least the cool weather I can see. This is due to the winter season's associations with purity, coldness, and serenity.

When this weather usually occurs?

After the warm and humid weather of the summer and rainy seasons, cold weather provides us with relief. Moreover, in this cold weather, the entire environment becomes calm, silent, and pleasant. It becomes dark very soon and everyone reaches home in time to enjoy a warm and cosy sleep.

What you usually do during this weather?

The winter season also encloses a number of festivals inside it such as Diwali, Christmas, New Year, Republic Day, Makar Sankranti, etc. Moreover, all the weddings and corresponding receptions are organised in the winter season. This brings the whole family together and lets everyone enjoy the cold - dim light of the dusk. In my opinion, the best part of winter is the attire. When I see people well dressed, from head to toe, wearing jackets, coats, turtlenecks, sweaters, etc. I feel very joyful.

Explain how this weather affects you?

The winter season also encloses a number of festivals inside it such as Diwali, Christmas, New Year, Republic Day, Makar Sankranti, etc. Moreover, all the weddings and corresponding receptions are organised in the winter season. This brings the whole family together and lets everyone enjoy the cold - dim light of the dusk.

Explain why you like this type of weather?

In my opinion, the best part of winter is the attire. When I see people well dressed, from head to toe, wearing jackets, coats, turtlenecks, sweaters, etc. I feel very joyful. It may sound childlike but seeing myself and others in such a manner makes me think I am in a foreign country, provided the weather is cold enough and proper cleanliness is maintained in the environment. Different states of India receive different levels of winter. Northern states experience low temperatures for an increased period of time while the southern and eastern parts experience less time in winter. Winter affects the mind and personalities of people in a positive manner. Each and every individual remains calm. However, people, often, become lazy in the cold weather. They do not want to get out of the warm bed and go to work, reducing their efficiency and productivity. Also, winter comes with a probability of catching coughs and colds, making more room for other diseases such as fever, pneumonia, etc. Therefore, the winter season spreads serenity and peace but people should take care of their health and live a disease-free life.

Model Answer 3

What kind of weather it is?

India is a country with seasons. There are 5 different seasons there: summer, spring, autumn, rain, and winter. Autumn is my favourite season because the temperature is just right—neither it's too hot or too cold. The time has come for trees to lose their leaves. Fallen leaves cover almost all of the roads, and it's fun to hear the crackle they produce when someone walks on them.

When this weather usually occurs?

Autumn symbolises change. It is a changing season when the weather shifts from summer to winter. Moreover, trees shed old leaves making way for new leaves to grow in spring.

What you usually do during this weather?

I prefer to go on trips with my family as the weather is very peaceful and provides freshness to one’s mind. Moreover, the weather outside remains cold and individuals get relieved from the heat waves of the summer season.

Explain how this weather affects you?

Autumn is also known as fall based on the fact that old leaves and branches ‘fall’ from trees. The days start getting shorter and shorter while the nights become longer. The climate becomes calm, silent, cool, soothing, and dry.

Explain why you like this type of weather?

Many people look at autumn as sad weather as it marks the end of summer as well as the sky always remains dusky. I like this weather because it provides relief from the warm environment created by the summer. Moderately strong winds blow in the evening which creates an atmosphere perfect for going outside for a walk or drive. Moreover, the scenery becomes eye-catching as I see the fallen leaves in the dusk. The economical approach says that in the autumn season, the electricity bill drops gradually as we tend to use fewer electric appliances such as fans, cooler, AC, etc. Furthermore, autumn nurtures a number of festivals such as Navratri, Dussehra, Halloween, etc. which calls for celebrations, filling me with joy and enthusiasm. I celebrate these festivals with my family and friends. There are several memories related to the season as well as these occasions.
