like in Belgium?</p>
<p><strong>Christophe:</strong> Well, at first I would like to
  answer you that summer is much more
  better than wintertime in Belgium because
  there is more sunshine, and the days are
  longer so there is more sunlight during the
  day, but actually we also have a lot of rain
  during summer in Belgium, so people are
  really upset about it, and I think many people also feel really bad
about that because there is rain again.</p>
<p><strong>Aiste: </strong> Oh, it sounds like it's raining all year long in Belgium.
Which season is actually the nicest one?</p>
<p><strong>Christophe:</strong> Well, it's true. Belgium is not a country that you
  should visit because of the weather because the weather is not
really that nice in Belgium.</p>
<p><strong>Aiste: </strong> So what is actually there to be visited?</p>
<p><strong>Christophe:</strong> In summer, it's actually nice to visit Belgium because
  there are a lot of music festivals. We even have one of the
  biggest and most famous music festivals in the world, where a lot
  of famous artists come to sing and a lot of people visit the festival,
like over 50,000 people on one day. It's really huge.</p>
<p><strong>Aiste: </strong> Do you often go to that festival?</p>
<p><strong>Christophe:</strong> I went to that festival when I was younger, but right
  now I stopped going there. It's too crowded for me. Too many
  people. Once you get older, then you don't like that anymore. You
  like to go to more quiet places and smaller festivals. What about
  you? How is summer like in Lithuania? Is it as cold as in
wintertime?</p>
<p><strong>Aiste: </strong> Oh, no, it is not very cold. Actually in summer we have plus
  30, so it means from winter there's almost 60 degrees change to
  summer. Further, people are very happy because after the winter
  and after a very dark period when sun comes out, they feel like
  the can take just a holiday and everybody has to stop working.
  Everybody's really happy with the sun getting out of the sky, and it
is very popular, especially in July and August. The people take holiday and go to the seaside and spend their time with their
families together while swimming and enjoying the sun at the
beach, and I really like summer. I think Lithuania looks wonderful
in summer, and anybody who goes to Lithuania should visit it only
in summer because otherwise you'll won't bring a very good
impression out of it.</p></div>]]>
