Different weather makes people feel different. It influences(影响) health, intelligence and feelings.

In August, it is very hot and wet in the south of the US. People there have heart trouble and other health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot in summer and very cold in winter. People in these places have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.

The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, the IQ(智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower than before. The wind can help people have higher intelligence. However, very hot weather can make it lower. Students in many schools of the US often get worse in exams(考试) in the hot months of the year(July and August).

Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather, too. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger. Low air pressure(气压) may make people forgetful.

(一) One possible version:

Dear Jeff,

Glad to receive your e-mail. Now let me tell you something about my hometown.

My home town is Dezhou, a city in the northeast of Shandong Province. The population of Dezhou is over 80,000. In Dezhou, it is hot in summer and cold in winter. There are storms from time to time in summer.

Our city is clean and beautiful. I think the best time to visit Dezhou is in spring. It might be cold, so don’t forget to bring a coat and a sweater. What’s more, it’s a good idea to take a camera with you. You can take photos of beautiful trees and lakes.

In Dezhou, we usually have meals with chopsticks. When we meet for the first time, we don’t hug or kiss each other. We often shake hands and smile at each other.

Welcome to Dezhou! I will take you around our city.

I’m looking forward to meeting you.

Yours,

Li Ming
