My favorite season (Школьные сочинения)

The fact is, the year is divided into four seasons. They are spring, summer, autumn and winter. All the famous poets have many descriptions of nature. They describe the golden days of early autumn, the first sweet flowers of spring, the frosty air of winter and bright sunny days of summer. We take it for granted that every season is thrilling and splendid in its own way.

The days are short and the sky is often grey in Winter. The trees are bare, because bitter north winds have stripped them of all their leaves. Nature is sleeping and sometimes it gets rather boring until the first fall of snow. The first snow usually falls at night and there is nothing like walking when it isn't so cold and snowflakes fall to the ground and cover it with a vast white sheet.

However, it's better to wrap yourself warm not to catch a cold.

When spring comes, nature awakens from her long winter sleep and begins to smile at us. Every day in every way the weather gets better and better. The days grow longer and warmer, the ground gets covered with fresh grass, the first spring flowers make their appearance. Frankly speaking I have a great mind to compare it with the morning.

Spring is followed by summer. The weather is usually fine and it's much warmer than in spring, sometimes it's even stuffy and the heat is unbearable. There is nothing like bathing, swimming and lying in the sun on the bank of the river. It's one of the favorite pastimes for many people. Those who go on holiday to the seaside enjoy themselves greatly

As for me, my favorite season is autumn. It comes in September and brings with it the harvest time. The days get shorter and the nights longer. It's a rainy season and the sky is very often overcast with heavy dark clouds.

ut the trees look lovely in early autumn. Some are still in leaf, some are yellow or brown, some are quite red. The ground is covered with a soft carpet of dying leaves of different colours. I adore early autumn with its Indian Summer.

To tell the truth, late autumn is less beautiful. It often rains heavily and if you are caught in the rain, you'll get wet to the skin. So you can't do without raincoats and umbrellas. Sharp winds tear the dead leaves from the boughs. The ground is covered with mud and the passing cars can splash you. They say autumn is the evening of the year when nature starts preparing for her long winter sleep. The days are gloomy and the landscape gets rather dull. However, late autumn is still a season of rich harvests of golden grain, of ripe fruit and of fresh vegetables. So people are busy with harvesting in fields and gardens.
