Answer

Sample answer

  1. Yes, natural environments definitely have a relaxing effect on me. For example, whenever I visit a forest or a beach, I immediately feel a sense of calm and tranquility wash over me. The soothing sounds of nature, like birds chirping or waves crashing, help me unwind and relieve stress. I remember one time when I went camping in the mountains with my family. Just being surrounded by the trees and fresh air made me feel rejuvenated and at peace, far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
  2. Absolutely, my mood does change with the weather and the seasons. For instance, during sunny days, I feel more energetic and optimistic, eager to spend time outdoors and soak up the sunshine. In contrast, on rainy or gloomy days, I tend to feel a bit more subdued and introspective. Similarly, as the seasons change, so does my mood. During the vibrant colors of autumn, I feel invigorated and inspired, while the coziness of winter brings about a sense of nostalgia and reflection. Each weather pattern and season brings its own unique atmosphere, influencing my emotions and outlook on life.
