Seasons and Weather
(1)
Everyone knows that there are
four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and
winter. Each of them lasts 3
months.
Spring comes in March and ends
in May. It often rains in spring, especially in
April.
Summer is the hottest season
in the year. It begins in June and ends in August. In summer the
sky is clear and cloudless. The days are long and the nights are
short and warm. Summer brings fruits and vegetables. It is pleasant
to spend this season by the seaside or somewhere in the
country.
Autumn months are September,
October and November. The days are becoming shorter; the sun loses
its force. It often rains. It is the season of
harvesting.
Winter lasts three month as
well: December, January and February. It is getting colder day by
day. The sun shines rarely and it snows of fen. But everything
looks so pretty covered with
snow.
So in every season there are
bright and dark sides. But we must be thankful together whatever
the weather.
