Describe your favorite type of weather. Do you feel different because of weather? How do different types of weather affect your emotions?

Like everyone else, I have my favorite weather. Most of all, I love the weather of spring, since I associate it with freshness, calmness, joy, warmth and a range of similar pleasant feelings. Actually, I don’t like freezing and very hot weather, that’s why I’m not looking forward to winter or summer. However, I consider spring to be a perfect period, because the days are getting longer, especially since it is neither hot nor cold, it is always very pleasant and breezy outside. To be honest, in very cold weather, for example, in winter, I’m not in such a high mood, the day ends quickly and I also get tired faster. In the summer, I just hate leaving the house, unless I’m going to go swimming or some entertainment, because it’s always unbearably hot outside. Rainy weather is very pleasant and relaxing for me, when at any moment the weather can change and the sun will appear. And it only happens in spring, during my favorite season.

Shape Up at Shaker
Each summer at the Shaker Work Group, a special school in rural Pittsfield, Massachusetts, where teenagers learn by working, it has been a tradition to have the teenagers take on the burden of setting their own rules and living by them. Although there are some adults on the campus, teenagers are a majority. One summer the group assembled to explore
the topic of lights-out time. There was little debate until 10:30 P.M. was suggested. Why? Everyone at the Shaker Work Group works a minimum of several hours each morning on one project and several hours each afternoon on another. Since everyone has to get up early, no one wanted to stay up later at night anyway. Few teenagers at the Shaker Work Group try to evade the rules. When one does, the entire group meets to probe the reasons for the “villain’s”* actions. Their aim is to reform the rule breaker. However, at Shaker Village, the theory* is that teenagers who are busy working will have no time to break rules.
