Answers

  • In what month or season does it rain most often in your country?
  • April to September
  • Have you ever suffered from any damage caused by heavy rainfall?
  • Yes.
  • What kind of damage did it cause?
  • Flooding happens often. I used to live near a river and our house was always flooded when it rained heavily. After the flooding, the house becomes dirty and I have to clean it up. Flooded water is very dirty and smelly. There are many bacteria and insects in the water.
  • Do such heavy rains occur frequently in your country?
  • Yes, I think the rain has been getting worse for several years. It used to stop raining within an hour or two, but recently it has been raining all day long.
  • Do you take any measures to reduce damage caused by heavy rainfall?
  • As I said before, when it rains, my house floods, so I try to put my luggage and other things on the ground on top of it before, when it rains.
