Текст
Seasons
There are four seasons in the year: winter, spring, summer and autumn. Each of them lasts three months.
Every new year begins in winter, on the first of January. The winter months are: December, January and February. In Russia winter is usually a cold season. It often snows, the rivers and lakes are frozen over. The average temperature is about 15 degrees below zero. The sun sets early and rises late – especially in December and January. The days are short, the sky is often grey, nature is sleeping.
But at the end of March the weather gets milder. Spring comes. The spring months are: March, April and May. The sun shines more brightly. The days become longer, snow begins melting. Spring comes and nature awakens after a long sleep of winter. The first flowers appear. The grass is fresh. The birds return from the South and make their nests.
Spring is followed by summer. The summer months are: June, July and August. The weather gets warmer and sometimes it is very hot. The sky is blue and cloudless. But sometimes there are storms with thunder and lightning. In summer people spend much time in the open air. They go to the forest, swim in the river and sunbathe. Summer is a vacation time.
Autumn comes in September with the beginning of the new school year. The autumn months are: September, October and November. It is a very beautiful time of the year, when the weather is still warm and the leaves change their colour from green to yellow and red.
Late autumn is less beautiful. It gets colder, the days are shorter, in the morning it often freezes. Last leaves fall from trees and cover the ground. There is much rain and fog. Birds fly away to warm countries. Low and heavy clouds hang in the sky. Nature slowly falls asleep for winter.
In fact every season has its fine days and is pleasant in its own way.
