54.Comparing and contrasting ‘Summer vs. Winter’

 People take various actions to make their lives more comfortable and adapt to the four distinct seasons, each with notably different climates. Each season has its unique beauty, with summer and winter representing the extremes. These changes in weather and temperature influence people’s lifestyle choices, such as food, activities and clothing.

During summer and winter, people consume food differently due to weather and storage methods. Summer offers fresh fruits and vegetables, but extreme heat can affect harvests, and recipes often require boiling, steaming or frying. In contrast, winter allows for indoor temperature regulation and lets people enjoy ice cream even in cold weather. Consuming cold food and beverages in summer can lead to health issues, unlike in winter when people can warm up with tea.

People’s wardrobes also vary according to the season due to temperature variations. Since summers are typically hot, people tend to dress as little as possible, but this leaves their skin exposed to harmful sun rays. In contrast, people wear warmer clothing in winter, such as coats, sweaters, and jeans, to stay warm. They can quickly put on and take off their outer clothing, making them feel comfortable. Clothing worn during winters is typically duller and darker, making them more practical and durable.

Summer is the best season for outdoor activities, but winter also has plenty of possibilities. A lot of people go swimming or lounge in the sun throughout the summer, while in winter, they can take a vacation overseas or visit a solarium or swimming pool. People can play golf and football in summer, but they can also do it in winter on a playing field. In contrast, winter activities like snowboarding, constructing a snowman or engaging in snowball battles are not possible during summer. However, people can wear nice clothes and take advantage of the lovely weather in winter.

It can be concluded that people can adapt more easily to winter than summer because both seasons have their unique characteristics that cannot be replaced. However, changing food, clothing, and activities to align with cold weather is easier than with hot weather. Although modern technologies can create heat, they are not as effective in dealing with hot weather.
