Work in groups. Discuss the questions.

Answer

  • When it’s hot and sunny, people who sell sunglasses, bikinis, beach towels and sun block do well. Equally, hotel owners by the sea and ice cream sellers do well. In England, people buy barbecues and garden furniture.
  • When it’s cold and snowing, people go skiing, so the skiing and snowboarding industries do well, and resort owners and lift operators in mountain resorts do well. People buy hats, gloves and coats, and warm boots. Salt is needed on the roads.
