The first letter from Clise
Hi, there!
It snowed here in the town. What about your place?
To be honest, I don’t really care for snow. Maybe it’s because I come from a much warmer city. I was actually astonished at the heavy snowfall when I first experienced winter here.
Also the melting snow always makes the roads more dangerous than usual. Though I don’t drive a lot, there’re still some potential safety hazards we can see.
Perhaps you may choose to take a train or a bus just like me when going out. Here comes another problem: delay. Obviously, the railways here are not very strong against snow or wind, which gives rise to quite a lot of delays or even cancel. On the other hand, you may find there’re so many people in the buses in bad weather. That drives me crazy sometimes when I am really in a hurry.
Anyway, it’s the beginning of this winter, I guess, but I’ve been already looking forward to the coming spring!
Glad to talk to you. I'm Clise and see you next time. ; )
