There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter. March, April and May are the spring months; June, July and August are the summer months; September, October and November are the autumn months; December, January and February are the winter months.
Spring is a very pleasant season. The weather is usually warm. But sometimes there are cold days in spring. Nature awakens: the birds return from the south; the trees turn green; the air is fresh; the sun warms the earth; the sky is blue. Many people like spring more than other seasons.
In summer, the weather gets warmer and sometimes it is very hot. It is a busy time for those who live in the country. They cut grass and make hay. Summer is a good time for holidays.
When autumn comes, the days get colder. The trees turn yellow. The leaves fall to the ground. It often rains in autumn. The sky is often covered with dark clouds. Autumn is harvest time. The farmers gather crops in the fields and pick fruit in the orchards. The days become shorter and the nights longer.
Winter is the coldest season. Sometimes it is frosty. The air is frosty, too. The wind often blows in winter and we say: "It is windy." But sometimes we have fog and we say: "It is foggy." The days in winter are shorter than in autumn. The nights are long. People prefer to spend more time in- doors because it is cold out of doors. Winter is a good season for winter sports. We can ski and skate. It often snows. The houses, trees and the ground are covered with snow.
