✨ Exercise. Talking about Heat
📝 Task: Read the questions and choose the answer that is closest to your real situation. Then explain why.
☀️ How do you cope with heat? What do you do when it is very hot?
- 💧 I don’t cope with heat very well, so I drink a lot of water and try to stay in the shade.
- 🌬️ When it is hot, I usually open the windows early in the morning and close them during the day.
- 🧊 I try to cool down with cold drinks, a fan, and light clothes.
- 🚶 I avoid going outside in the middle of the day because the heat makes me feel weak.
- 🌳 I feel better when I spend time near water or in a park, where the air feels fresher.
- 😴 Hot weather makes me tired, so I try to do important things in the morning and rest later.
- ☀️ Actually, I like heat if it is not too suffocating, because summer makes me feel more energetic.
