warm.
6:09 - 6:12
One, reading a good book.
6:13 - 6:17
Reading is one of my favorite things to do when it rains.
6:17 - 6:18
Why?
6:18 - 6:24
Because when it's dark and rainy outside, a good book can make me feel better.
6:24 - 6:26
It helps me forget the bad weather.
6:27 - 6:30
I sit down, relax, and read.
6:31 - 6:33
It feels cozy and peaceful.
6:33 - 6:38
One of my favorite books to read on a rainy day is Jane Eyre.
6:38 - 6:43
It's a famous book with a strong and interesting story.
6:44 - 6:45
I really enjoy it.
6:46 - 6:48
Two, visiting with friends.
6:49 - 6:55
Sometimes on a rainy day, I go to my friend's house or my friend comes to my house.
6:55 - 6:57
We sit outside on the porch.
6:58 - 7:00
That's the covered area in front of the house.
7:01 - 7:05
Even if it's raining, we can sit there and stay dry.
7:05 - 7:07
We talk about our lives.
7:07 - 7:08
What's new?

When it's raining, it's a perfect time to watch movies.
7:31 - 7:34
Sometimes we stay at the theater for the whole day.

Four, redecorating my home.

When I don't feel like going outside in the rain, I stay home and sometimes I use this time to redecorate my house.
8:04 - 8:09
That means I move things around like the sofa, chairs, and tables.
8:09 - 8:14
I also put pictures back on the wall or change how the room looks.
8:15 - 8:19
I can't change the weather, but I can change how my home feels.

This makes the rainy day more fun and creative.
8:24 - 8:27
Five, taking a quiet drive.
8:28 - 8:33
If the rain is not too heavy, I sometimes go for a long drive.
8:34 - 8:35
I drive on back roads.
8:36 - 8:39
These are small, quiet roads with not many cars.
8:40 - 8:42
I don't go fast.
8:42 - 8:44
I just drive slowly and watch the rain.
8:45 - 8:48
I look at the trees, the sky, and the houses.
8:49 - 8:53
The rain makes everything look beautiful and calm.
8:53 - 8:56
It's a peaceful way to enjoy the day.
8:56 - 9:00

A big meal with meat and vegetables.
9:12 - 9:16
The smell of food fills the house.
9:16 - 9:20
It feels warm, cozy, and happy.
9:20 - 9:23
Cooking on a rainy day helps me feel better.
