Why did they like or dislike it?

Hint:  The candidates will not talk about all these topics.


Candidate 1: The reason why I don’t like this type of weather is that is that it saps all your energy, you know, you just feel like lying around the house all day, you feel really listless and you just don’t get anything done.  Either that, or you freeze to death!  You see, if I’m at my parents’ house, they always have the air-conditioning turned up really high and it’s just so cold.  The other thing is that we have this type of hot, humid weather all year round—the only difference is between the dry and the rainy season, but it’s always hot and very sticky—really not very nice at all.

Candidate 2: One of the things I love about this hot sunny weather is feeling the sun on my face, you see in my country the winters are long and very, very cold, so it’s always a relief to have some sunshine.  I like going walking in the country with my husband.  We both love nature and really enjoy the countryside when it’s green and beautiful.  The sunshine gives me energy and makes me feel happy.  It’s rarely too hot in my part of the country, so we just enjoy it as we know it’s not going to last too long!
