The year is divided into four distinct seasons, each with unique weather, scenery and activities, bringing different joys to people’s lives.
Spring is the season of rebirth. The weather turns warm, and the temperature rises gently. Trees sprout new green leaves, flowers like cherry blossoms and tulips bloom brightly, and birds sing loudly in the trees. People often go for outings, have picnics in parks, or fly kites on windy afternoons. It’s a perfect time to feel the energy of new life.
Summer is hot and sunny, with long days and short nights. Many places have occasional rainstorms, which cool down the air. Beaches and swimming pools become popular spots, where people swim, build sandcastles or enjoy ice cream. Fruits like watermelons and strawberries are ripe and sweet. Kids love summer because they have a long holiday to play outside.
Autumn is a golden and cool season. The leaves of maple and ginkgo trees turn red or yellow, falling like colorful butterflies. The weather is neither too hot nor too cold, making it great for hiking or having barbecues. Farmers are busy harvesting crops like rice and corn, and markets are filled with apples, grapes and pumpkins. It’s a season of harvest and quiet beauty.
Winter is cold, and some places (especially in the north) snow heavily. The ground, trees and houses are covered in white snow, like a magical world. People wear warm clothes, such as scarves and down jackets. Popular activities include making snowmen, having snowball fights, or skating on frozen lakes. During festivals like Christmas and New Year, families gather to eat hot food and share happiness.
