Winter
When winter comes, ponds, lakes, rivers and streams are frozen over. It is getting colder day by day. We spend more time at home, because it is cold outside. The trees are white when it snows.

Spring.
Spring comes in March. The weather gets warmer. The fields and meadows are covered with fresh green grass. The sky is blue and cloudless. At night millions of stars shine in the darkness.

Summer.
June, July and August are summer months. Summer is the hottest season in the year. Summer brings fruit and vegetables. Sometimes the sky is overcast with heavy clouds. There are storms with thunder, lightning and hail. People enjoy bright summer days if they are in the country or at the seaside!

Autumn.
After a good rest autumn and harvest time comes. The air is fresh. There are ripe apples, plums and peaches. But the weather is so changeable in autumn, people have to wear raincoats and umbrellas . The leaves cover the ground like a thick carpet, the roads are slippery and wet, there are lots of puddles in the streets and again everyone looks forward to frosty winter days.
