Question: How do you prepare for a rainy day?

Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: I usually check the weather forecast, bring an umbrella or raincoat, and wear waterproof shoes or boots.

Reason: Preparing for a rainy day can help avoid discomfort, inconvenience, or damage caused by the rain, and ensure safety and productivity.

Example: For instance, if I know it will rain, I might plan to adjust my travel time, route, or mode of transportation to avoid traffic or delays, and pack a bag with a spare set of clothes, a towel, and an umbrella. Additionally, I might use waterproof phone cases or bags, and avoid walking or driving through flooded areas or slippery surfaces.

Alternative: Some people might have different ways of preparing for a rainy day, such as staying indoors, cooking comfort food, or enjoying outdoor activities such as puddle-jumping or bird-watching.
