I like rainy days in the summer season because the temperatures drop and we get respite
from the summer heat. In winters I am not too happy when it rains, as it becomes very cold
after it rains.
7. How does rain affect different people’s moods? OR How does rain affect people's lives?
I think rains affect people’s moods when it restricts their activities or leads to a loss in the work
or business. Some people feel happy when it rains as the weather becomes pleasant and
people can enjoy hot beverages and fried snacks.
8. Do you prefer rainy days or sunny days?
I prefer rainy days in the summers and sunny days in the winter season. Rains give us respite
from the heat in the summers and we can enjoy sitting out in the sun on a cold winter day.
9. What do you do on rainy days (or, on a rainy day)?
I enjoy hot beverages, like coffee and fried snacks like fritters and samosas on rainy days. It
gives us an opportunity to stay at home with family and spend quality time with them.
10.
What do you usually do when it rains (or, when it starts to rain) and you are
outside?
If it rains when I am outside, I usually look for a café or a place where I can sit and enjoy
coffee and some snacks.
11.
Do you think rain is good? (Why?)
Yes, I think rains are good. Rains are important to maintain the ecosystem’s balance. Rains
help with maintaining the groundwater levels. They make the dust settle down and help clean
the environment. For agriculturebased economies, rains during the rainy season are very
important for a good crop.
12.
How does rain affect (life in) your country?
Agriculture is a major part of India’s economy and that is largely dependent on timely rains.
So a lot of farmers depend on a good monsoon season for a good crop. Unseasonal rains
can have an adverse affect on agriculture, as it can destroy crops. In places where there is
water shortage, people depend on rains and save rain water in reservoirs.
13.
Is there any part of India where it doesn't rain much? (Where?) OR Is there an
even distribution of rain throughout India?
India is a diverse country with different climates in different parts. There are many parts in the
east of India that experience a lot of rain throughout the year. In most parts of India, monsoon
season is the time when most of the rainfall happens. In some western parts, like in the
deserts of Rajasthan, there is very little rain. Sometimes some states experience droughts
because of no rainfall for a very long period of time.
14.
What effects can a shortage of rain (a drought) have on people's lives?
