Imagine your country had only one season, all year round. Which would you choose, and how would life change?

A natural way to answer

I'd choose a temperate, spring-like climate, since extremes are exhausting. That said, I suspect we'd quickly take it for granted. The seasons give the year its rhythm, and without that ebb and flow, life might lose its shine and start to feel oddly flat.

Key phrases to use

• take it for granted — stop appreciating something because you assume it will always be there“With endless sunshine we'd soon take it for granted.”
• lose its shine — become less attractive, exciting or special over time“Even paradise would lose its shine eventually.”
• yearning for — feeling a deep, wistful longing for something you don't have“We'd end up yearning for the storms we lost.”
