The Four Seasons In a year

The Four Seasons

In a year there are four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Every season has three months, and each month has thirty days or so.

Spring is the first season, which consists of March, April, and May. In spring the sun shines brightly in the blue sky. The winds blow gently. The little streams flow merrily on. The flowers show their pretty shapes. The trees send out little buds and new leaves. Farmers begin to plough the soil and sow the seed. All of nature is clothed in lovely green.

Next comes summer, which comprises June, July and August. The sun shines blazingly and the heat is unbearable. The days are long and the nights are short. The plants grow in profusion. In order to avoid the hot climate, many people go to the seaside and mountains.

Summer is followed by autumn. September, October and November are the autumn months. The climate is mild and the air balmy. Fruits are plentiful and grains are ripe. The trees are wearing their brown and yellow robes; some tender ones are turned by the frost into the brilliant colours – orange, purple and scarlet.

The last season is winter containing December, January and February. The dreary, dull weather reigns over the world. The biting cold wind blows pitilessly. The snow begins to drift like a whirl wind through lanes and streets. Birds are no longer singing their cheerful notes. All things look forlorn and desolate. But winter is not very long with us, for spring soon comes around again.

Here is a nice poem for us to memorize:

Spring is gay with flower and song,

Summer is hot and the days are long.

Autumn is rich with fruit and grain,

Winter brings snow and the New Year again.
