Russia
United Kingdom
China
Myanmar
In Russia, it can get very cold with heavy sown in winter, so people live in houses with inclined roofs and wear thick clothes for outdoor activities.
Russia
A popular joke about foreigners’ attitude towards Russia’s climate goes like this: A student studying in Russia is writing a letter to his relatives: “During ‘green winter’ it was more or less OK, but when the white one started, things got really hard…”
Of course, it doesn’t mean that in Russia you’ll freeze to death 365 days a year. The weather heavily depends on what region you’re in.
How to survive Russia’s winter (and not freeze to death)
1. Dress up really warm
2. Buy boots with a good tread (鞋底花纹)
3. Use skin cream
4. Mind the icicles (冰锥)
5. Eat well
6. Drink tea (not vodka)
In the UK, the mild climate and parks in towns and cities provide a pleasant natural environment in which people can relax and enjoy life.
United Kingdom
Britain is an island country and the surrounding sea gives England a varied climate. They never know what the weather will be like from one day to the other. It can be sunny one day and rainy the next. As they have such a variable climate changing from day to day, it is difficult to predict the weather. In general they have warm summers and cool winters.
Temperate Climate
The overall climate in England is called temperate maritime(温带海洋性气候). This means that it is mild with temperatures not much lower than 0 C in winter and not much higher than 32 C in summer.
Warmest months
July and August are normally the warmest month in England.
In north-west China, the yellow earth is thick and compacted, so people build cave dwellings as their place of residence.
China
Cave dwellings are common in certain areas of northern China where they serve as homes for more than 40 million people. In the provinces of Shaanxi and Shanxi where the yellow earth (called loess 黄土) is quite compacted(坚实的), cave houses have been in use for centuries.
The construction of cave homes requires low technology. They are protected from the elements, and are insulated (隔热) from the extremes of heat and cold.
With the rapid urbanization of Chinese villages, people’s living conditions have been greatly improved. As a result, the
majority of cave dwellings
have been abandoned, and
the traditional construction
techniques of building cave
dwellings have slowly
become a memory of
architectural culture from
the past.
In Myanmar, the climate is hot and humid and there are many rivers. Many people live in bamboo houses on stilts, which keep them above the water.
Myanmar
The structures are designed to suit the weather and avoid floods, snakes and other beasts. The roofs are usually laid with grass or tile.
