A season is a period of the year when the weather changes and in some cases the days become longer or shorter. In tropical countries there are 2 seasons - the dry season and the wet season. In other parts of the world - including the UK, USA and Russia - there are four seasons. Let's take a look at these 4 very different seasons!

Winter

Winter is the cold season. In many countries the temperature is very low and snow is common. The days are often shorter in winter - there is less sunlight! You have to take care when walking or driving because there may be ice on the ground. Winter is a great time for making a snowman or getting under your duvet and reading a good book!

Spring

Spring is the season when the plants and flowers start to grow again after the cold winter. The flowers start to bloom and the countryside looks green again! Many animals wake from their winter hibernation and people are happier because warmer weather is on its way. Spring is the perfect time for long walks in the fresh green countryside.

Summer on the beach

Summer

Summer is the hot and sunny time of the year. It's when the sky is blue and the days are longer. People can dress in fashionable and light summer clothes - shorts and t-shirts! Many of us take holidays in the summer; visiting the beach or going for a swim. This is best way to cool down.

Autumn leaves

Autumn (Fall in America)

Autumn is the time of the year when the leaves on the trees turn golden brown. The days start getting shorter and the evenings start getting darker. The weather also starts getting colder, although it's usually pleasantly warm until winter starts. Autumn is also the time to harvest your plants and when animals stock up food for the winter!

Hi, Gertraud.  Thank you for this beautiful message.  Thank also for your advice.  Springtime lethargy, nice word. This is what I feel.  I will eat more fruits and vegetable. People also wear more smile.  You will make me like spring by the way you write it.  :)  Thank again for this beautiful message of energy. 

My country,Thailand, is in tropical zone. Certainly there are two seasons that is the rainy season and summer. In Thailand summer the weather is very hot that is the reason why I don't like to go to anywhere in summer. In the rain season I like the period of raining. While it is raining, the temperature is very nice, it's not too hot and cold. I like to play the rain at outdoor with my friends. 

1. My favourite season is autumn. Although I never stayed in the weather of autumn and never seen the real autumn, I know it from television, movie and picture. It is the  fantastic season. Every tree, every where is in the same tone is brown. I only see in the picture it is beautiful. I hope to see it by myself.


2. My country has  2 seasons. Thus I never lived in 4 season.  When I was young. I like to play the harvest game that it this game has 4 seasons. First seasons is spring, I am a gardener in this game, many flowers start to bloom. Everything looks like fresh. Second season is summer, I see in everything the game  is a fun season. Third season is autumn, this season I see in the game, its location give a romantic feel. The last season  is winter. everything in the game is white. I feel this season is the rest reason.

Let me first of all say your writing is not very bad. It's very easy to read, the sentences are structured well and there are very few mistakes. I'm a little busy today but I'll be back online later to add some more comments about your English. Great writing Ping!

Hi, here are some comments about your English. Sorry for the delay!

Thank you teacher for your comment :)

I hope to go Japan.

I like to see the leaves of changing  color  and like their culture.

Their culture is polite and soft such as greeting, tea making and traditional clothes.

I love Chinese tea especially wu long tea. How about you?

In my high school classroom, I used to learn America history about Boston Tea Party.

(It makes me know tea is very important for British./ I got some information tea is very important for British.) teacher which one of this is correct.

 Have you ever drunk Chinese tea? 

What about difference between Chinese tea or British tea? 

 Do you like drink tea?



Could you please correct my mistakes. Thanks :)


In England we love tea. We have tea for breakfast and tea during the day. The tea that we drink is hot tea with milk. The tea leaves usually come from India or Malaysia. Is Chinese tea the same as green tea? I'm not sure. I'm drinking a cup of tea now. :) It helps us keep warm!

What kind of tea do you like to drink?

I hope to go Japan. - I hope to go to Japan.

Thank you teacher.

I will bring your advice to develop my writing :)

 

You're welcome! I'm glad to hear it.

today's here is summer season. and there  sir?

In England today it is spring season. We have April showers - a lot of rain!

Now it is spring in my country. I love this season although the weather is changeable. It's suny and warm and rainy and cold. All this can happen during one day.

Yesterday I was walking and took some nice picture. It was cloudy but warm. The colors are very intense in spring, the fruit trees bloom and lots of bees buzzing around. I took a rest in front of  an apple tree and was listening to this special sound it's like a music. The blooms of the tree have smelled wonderful.

Today , I woke up and I have heard the raindrops knocking on my window. This is spring in Austria.
