Read the text carefully then do the following activities
Climate has a big effect on the food we eat, the energy we use, homes we live in, work we do (and how
we travel to work), our culture and heritage and the way we spend our spare time. It can even affect our
health, from sunburn to allergies to respiratory illnesses.
In Scotland, The bright, warm and sunny summer months can encourage people to take more exercise
and eat more healthily. However, in winter many vulnerable and elderly people in Scotland often spend
much of the winter indoors to avoid the cold, snow and ice. Céilidh music and dancing were traditionally
practised indoors during the winter months. Many thousands of people jet off for holidays each year in
search of sun and warmth in order to escape the changeable and wet climate of Scotland.
In Portugal, the hot midday sun can make it difficult to work. People tend to start work earlier in the
morning while it is still cool then have a big lunch and a siesta in the afternoon.
The tropical climate in Cambodia encourages tremendous biodiversity. This has many benefits, but
there are also drawbacks such as poisonous snakes and insects. People living in remote forest areas build
their houses on stilts to avoid uninvited guests. Diseases such as malaria and yellow fever are prevalent
in warmer climates.
