　　2) Is there any part of China where it doesn’t rain much?

　　This is a hard question, coz the amount of rainfall varies remarkably⁸ according to different places and different seasons. There is a rather clear contrast between the North and the South in general and there is less rainfall in the North and inland areas than in the South and coastal areas. However, when it comes to the seasons, there tend to be the most rain in summer and least in winter.

　　3) Do you think the seasons have changed in recent years, compared to the past? Why and how?

　　Compared to the past, the seasons do have changed a bit in recent decades. Obviously, the summer season lasts longer than it does when I was a little kid. Plus, the weather during summer is getting much hotter. For example, in Suzhou, the temperature can go up to 40 degrees Celsius⁹. It’s sauna-like and very stuffy. Going outside on a hot weather like this would be a torture to anyone.
