Discussion Question
Q1
What would you pack for a trip to America?
A.
The weather in America can be very different depending on the season and the location. During the summer, northern states will experience warm to hot days, and cooler temperatures in the mornings and nights. The southern states, however, will experience very hot and scorching temperatures. If I intend to go to the northern states during the summer, where the average summer temperature is 18 degrees Celsius, I will be packing plenty of light sweaters or T-shirts to keep me cool. I will also pack shorts, caps, skirts, casual dresses, swimsuits, and pajamas. However, if I am going during the winter, I would pack heavier winter outfits for the dead of winter, which is the coldest part of winter.
