3. They have tried their best to keep as much natural snow as possible
4. They have bought artificial snow machines but were unable to use them

Speaking

What is your favorite activity in the snow? Record a video of yourself while you talk about your favorite activity. In the video you could for example answer these questions:

- What is your favorite activity? (could be skiing, snowboarding, ice scating etc.)

- Why do you like it so much?

- How many times do you do it? (only in the winter?)

- Who do you like doing those activities with?

The video has to be at least 2 minutes
