Speaking Topic 18: Environment and weather conditions

The weather

1. What is your favorite season and why?

Well, my favourite season is summer. I like the sun and heat.  In my opinion when the thermometer shows from 20°C degrees to 30°C or 35°C degrees and the sun is shining, it's ideally weather for everything! I can play for example tennis or football with my friend and after that I can swim in my pool on the garden or I can go to aquapark with someone. I think too that people are more possitive in summer and I like summer because in summer are the longest holiday.

And walking with my girlfriend in warm nights around the city of Prague? It's AWESOME and magic for me. I love it! <3

2.  Do you think that in recent years we are losing our four distinct seasons?  What's the average summer temperature in your hometown?  The average winter temperature?

Yes, I do. In recent years aren't winter, spring, summer and autumn but only summer and winter. This year on October 22nd was in Prague 19°C degrees in the afternoon and on November 22nd was only 3°C degress..it's horrible! Average summer temperature in Prague is around 20°C dergees and average winter temperature is around 0°C degrees.

3.  Do you experience any extreme weather conditions in the Czech Republic?  Have you ever?  What other types of extreme weather do you know about?

Flood in Bohemia this June is I think good example. Other extreme weather..hurricanes in America, floods in Asia. 

4.  Is there a relationship between weather and natural disasters?  Do you think weather patterns are changing?  If so, what do you think is causing these changes?

Yes, of course. Weather patterns is definitely changing (question 2.). 

The environment

Climate changes are very debatabůe topic nowdays. Dwindling supplies of fresh water, increase greenhouse gases and more other problems. BUT what is the solution? It's difficult. Solar paners are very expensive and driving by car is faster than driving by bus/tram/underground. And kill all the cows? Oh, NO "Svíčková" is my favourite food. :D I think that it doesn't exist effective solution. Solar paners or hybrid cars are good but these inventions never overcome the current trend.

I think it's unnecessary write now about political system because I saved your presentation from Zatlanka website which is very good and clear. If I write about political system I think that I copied everything from presentation. :-)
