DO you agree that the weather is able to affect people’s mood or personality?

I agree that the weather is able to affect people’s mood or personality. if you wake up in the morning and you see that it is raining, you will think you have to stay at home. If you have to work, you will think “why I think go outside for work at bad weather, i should stay at home, lie on the bed, watch my phone and do nothing. if you have a schedule with your friend, maybe you have to cancel. Sometimes you will feel you are in a bad mood and you cannot play well with your friend. If the weather is good and when you wake up, you will think what a wonderful day, we can do a lot of things outside, especially on the weekend. We can take my two kids outside to experience something. For example, we can go camping and some amusement parks, we all will feel happy on a sunny day or good weather day. So good weather will affect you, bad weather will make you feel lazy, you will think it’s a bad things for you on a rainy day to sleep the whole day, and you don’t want to do any cooking. If the weather is good, it will give you some positive energy.

DO you agree that the weather is able to affect people’s mood or personality?

I agree that the weather is able to/can affect people’s mood or personality. If you wake up in the morning and you see that it is raining, you will think you have to stay at home. If you have to work, you will think “Why should I go to work when the weather is bad? I should stay at home, lie in bed, play with my phone and not do anything.” If you are going to meet your friend, maybe you will/you might cancel the appointment. Sometimes you will be in a bad mood and you cannot enjoy the time with your friend. If the weather is good and when you wake up, you will think “What a wonderful day, we can do lots of/many things outside, especially on the weekend”. We can take my two kids out to try new/novel experiences. For example, we can go camping or go to some amusement parks. Everyone will feel happy on a sunny day or when the weather is good. So good weather will motivate you, bad weather will make you feel lazy, you might think it’s a good thing for you to sleep for the whole day when it’s raining, and you don’t want to cook. If the weather is good, it will make you feel positive.

No,I donnot agree with that.I think the weather couldn’t affect people’s personality very much. Different places have different kind of weather and some is cold , some is hot. But every place has different kind of personality people. So I think the weather is not able to affect people’s personality enough. Otherwise every place only has some special personality people. The weather can affect people’s personality just a little not enough.

Revised:

No, I do not agree with the statement because the weather does not really affect people’s personality. Different places have different types of weather/different climates: some places are cold while others are hot. But every place has people with different personalities. So I think the weather does not have a huge/effect/impact/influence on people’s personality. Otherwise, every place will only have people with a particular type of personality. The weather can only affect a little/a part of people’s personality.
