[16:01.92]Task 5 Speak to Yourself
[16:41.09](1)Here in Beijing we have four seasons a year.
[16:54.34]March to May is spring.
[16:57.68]It's a warm and beautiful season with flowers everywhere.
[17:02.72]But it's also a very windy time.
[17:06.25]Sandstorm(or duststorm)is nothing new to Beijingers.
[17:11.80]Our summer is from June to August.
[17:15.72]It's very hot,except when it rains.
[17:19.46]But it becomes hot and humid again after the rain.
[17:23.60]People carry umbrellas for the rain and the sun.
[17:28.03]Many people turn on their air conditioners
[17:31.56]and stay indoors to get away from the heat.
[17:34.62]I think the best time here is autumn,
[17:38.58]which is from September to November.
[17:41.64]It's cool and suitable for camping,
[17:44.77]mountain-climbing and traveling.
[17:47.40]Autumn is my favorite season.
[17:50.06]Winter is from December to February.
[17:53.59]It is very cold and snows a lot.
[17:56.94]I don't like winter in Beijing at all.
[18:00.58](2)People have different activities in different seasons.
[18:08.60]They enjoy the happiness of ice and snow world in winter,
[18:13.54]going skiing and skating,
[18:15.98]making snowmen and throwing snowballs at each other.
[18:20.12]If they dislike the cold,
[18:22.18]they can stay indoors or travel to a warmer place.
[18:26.71]In spring and autumn,people have more outdoor activities.
[18:31.97]They go to parks,fly kites,go camping or mountain-climbing.
[18:37.33]In summer,people enjoy sunshine on the beach,or go swimming.
[18:41.58]Whatever the season is,
[18:44.14]people can choose their activities according to their preference.
