    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

But in winter you can go outside or you can just enjoy having sunny days. And the weather is very cosy, you can feel it. I would like to feel the cosy situations. And yeah, the winter is, everything in limit is a good thing. Also there are some drawbacks in winter also. We cannot survive in extreme winter. But there are many less places where the winter is very harsh and you can easily get a shelter or something that will keep you warm. That's why I would like to tell you that winter is my favourite weather. I like winter very much. I enjoy every time in winter. I like the way the ice drops from the sky and I like the way it looks when the ice becomes a huge mountain like Himalaya. The scenery looks very well in icy Himalayas and all those things.

    I like weather when there are rains. In the rainy season, I like to go out with my family and enjoy the rains, the clouds and the waterfalls which are in abundance near our place where we are staying. This place is called as Mulshi. This rainy weather makes me very happy and calm so that I can enjoy with my family. Even my kids enjoy playing in the waterfall. I like that every time the weather should be cloudy and rainy so that we are not suffering from heat where rainy season gives us a cool climate which not only help us in relaxing but also increases our efficiency of work. Overall, I like rainy season and wish that it should be throughout the year. Also, mainly in rainy season, we can also keep on gazing the environment, the green tree, greenery which also gives you a nice peace of mind and coolness to your eyes to see the entire mountains covered with greenery during rainy season.

    Band 6

    The weather that I enjoy is rain. When it is pouring I love to watch it. In my balcony I enjoy the weather with tea and snacks like pakoras. This helps me to soothe myself and makes me happy looking at the view. When it rains it also makes our scenery beautiful and the earth smells really nice calming me down and making the whole environment lovely. I also enjoy talking with my parents while viewing the rain. It also helps us to bond with each other and make our relationship better. The reason why I love this weather is because it makes me feel that I have nothing to do and it slows down the earth considerably.

    There are a number of weather conditions you are going to see like summer, winter, spring, autumn and season. And in that particularly I love the weather of the spring where it makes the plants and trees blossom. Where the nature blossoms the flower and where the trees and other plants make a green all over the nature and the environment which makes a pleasant and a good feeling. And like something before, after the summer it is actually something it has become like a very, a very what you can say like without leaves the trees are looking like stungy. And it has seemed like that when it comes to spring season where everything goes on with a very greenery and the new green branches and the new green leaves and the fruits and the flower growing. Which makes a very positive impact in my life whenever I look through and whenever I do consider it with a personal growth. Like I think of myself when I am thinking of myself being in a low I would think rather than that like everything is a seasonal where one time you go on having failures or ups and downs in life. But there is a time that you are going to shine. So in that way I could relate to that as it affects me in that way to be in a positive and wait until you win. And yeah it is in most of the times in a spring season I would love to go for a trip and travel.

    My favorite weather is the winter season. This season starts from the month of September and ends with the month of January. This six-month period was very amazing for me and my family also. In that period, our weather temperature may down. It ranges from 21 to 25 degrees Celsius. I usually like the winter season because in that season, my birthday also comes and I can enjoy many things. One of the favorite festivals comes in the winter season, that is Diwali. In that we can enjoy the lots of foods which was made by our mothers and visited our relatives' homes and can talk to any other friends. So, usually it was the best season for me. In that season, the favorite food like maize, which is fried and with the combination of lemon and salt, we can use and eat them, is only available in the winter season. In the winter season, I prefer to eat ice cream. I know it is a weird combination because no one can eat ice cream in the winter season. But I am the one kind of person who can eat ice cream in the winter season.

    The weather most I like is rainy season, because at rainy season, the rivers are more flooded and all. So I usually play on the water and all. And during the rainy season, there will be heavy wind. So the mangoes and the fruits will come down and we will eat it. And during the flood day, there are a lot of trees will come and we the friends together will collect it and we will send it. So we will get a good income. Moreover, we will get a lot of fish. We are a group of friends. We will go for fishing and we will get a lot of fish. And by that way also we can earn a lot of money and all. And on the rainy season, usually the school will go off.
