SEASONS AND WEATHER (1)

       Everyone knows that there are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autunm 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 offen. 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.
