Sweden
Question 19
When I say I live in Sweden, people always want to know about the seasons. The seasons? Yeah, you know how cold it is in winter? What is it like when the days are so short? So what is it like? Well, it is cold, very cold in winter, sometimes as cold as 26 degrees below centigrade. And of course when you go out, you'll wrap up warm. But inside in the houses it's always very warm, much warmer than at home. Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in the good winter. And what about the darkness? Well, yeah, around Christmas time there's only one hour of daylight, so you really look forward to the spring. It is sometimes a bit depressing. But you see the summers are amazing, from May to July in the North of Sweden the sun never sets. It's still light at midnight. You can walk in the mountains and read a newspaper. Oh, yeah, the land of the midnight sun. Yeah, that's right, but it's wonderful. You won't stay up all night. And the Swedes makes most of it often they started work earlier in summer and then leave at about two or three in the afternoon, so that they can really enjoy the long summer evenings. They'd like to work hard, but play hard, too. I think Londoners work longer hours, but I'm not sure this is a good thing. Question 19: What do we learn about the man from the conversation? Question 20: What do Swedish people complain about when they visit England in winter? Question 21: How does the man describe the short hour of daylight around Christmas in Sweden? Question 22: What does the man say about the Swedish people?
