There are four
seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Every
season is beautiful in its own way.
When spring comes nature awakens from its long winter sleep. The days
become longer and the nights become shorter. The ground is covered with green
grass and spring flowers. The air is fresh, the sky is blue and cloudless, and
the sun shines brightly. The trees are in full blossom. The days are warm
and everything is full of life and joy.
Spring is followed by summer. The weather is usually fine in summer,
but it can be very hot, especially in July. Sometimes there are storms with
thunder and lightning. In summer people try to get away from the city noise
and spend more time in the open air. They pick mushrooms and berries in the
forest, swim in the rivers and lakes, go fishing. Most people prefer
to have their holidays in summer.
Autumn begins in September. The days become shorter and the nights
become longer. The leaves turn yellow, red and brown and fall to the
ground.
Most birds fly away to warm countries. It's a beautiful time
when the sky is cloudless, the trees around are golden, the air is
transparent and
it's still warm. But it gets colder and colder. It often rains in October
and November which makes autumn an unpleasant season.
In winter the sun sets early and rises late. The rivers and lakes are
frozen
over. Everything is covered with snow. Sometimes it's very cold, about
25-30
degrees below zero. Going out in such weather isn't very pleasant. Winter
is a
good time for sports. People go in for skating and skiing.
As for me, I like all seasons, but I think there's
nothing like summer. Usually in summer I stay in the town. When the weather is
good, I can go to the lake and swim there with my friends. Also, when it’s not
very hot, I can go to the forest. The air is fresh there. I like to walk in the
shade of the trees and pick up berries. But very often the weather is bad, and then I sit at home and play computer
games or read the books on school program. Sometimes I can go to the cinema to
watch new films. As you can see I like summer very much, but we know that every
season is beautiful in its own way.
