The four seasons
There are four seasons in a year, and each season has its special features.
Spring
Life begins again in spring. The snow melts, and nature wakes up after the long winter. Warm rain falls on the forests and fields. Plants start to grow, and birds come back from the south. Farmers begin to work their land. It is a time of new life and new hope. It is exciting to take a trip in the countryside in springtime.
Summer
Summer is bright and noisy. The weather is hot. The sun shines brightly in the clear, blue sky. Cicadas sing loudly. There is often thunder and lightning in the afternoon. Many people like to go to the beach and swim in the sea. It is nice to eat ice cream or fresh fruit in summer.
Autumn
Autumn is beautiful and full of colour. The weather is cool and dry. In autumn, everything changes. Leaves turn brown, red or yellow and start falling from the trees. Squirrels gather food for the cold winter. Farmers are busy with the harvest. It is great to go on a family outing at this time of year.
Winter
Winter is peaceful and fun. It is cold and snowy in many places. Bears and snakes find warm places to sleep through the winter. Children love winter because they love to play in the snow.

(1) What do you like to do in spring / summer / autumn / winter
