HANS: Where do you come from?
JIM:  I come from England.
HANS: What's the climate like in your
      country?
JIM:  It's mild,
      but it's not always pleasant.
JIM:  The weather's often cold 
      in North and windy in the East.
      It's often wet in the West
      and sometimes warm in the south.
HANS: Which seasons do you like best?
JIM:  I like spring and summer.
      The days are long and the night
      are short.
      The sun rises early and sets late.
JIM:  I don't like autumn and winter.
      The days are short
      and the nights are long.
      The sun rises late
      and set early.
      Our climate is not very good,
      but it's certainly interesting.
      It's our favourite subject 
      of conversation.
