Weather and seasons of the year

There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Spring

is a beautiful season. Many people think it is the most beautiful season of all. There are flowers in the meadows and in the gardens - everything is in blossom /blosəm/. Plants, trees and grass are green. Birds and beetles start flying and and small animals are born.

In spring the weather gets warmer. In March, however, there isn’t much sunshine and it often rains. In April the weather gets changeable. The sky is cloudless and suddenly becomes overcast and icy winds begin blowing. It looks like rain and after a while it’s raining cats and dogs. A few minutes later it is hailing.

It lasts only a short time and it clears up again. There is a rainbow in the sky. People take off their raincoats and close their umbrellas. In the streets there are puddles and a lot of mud. Those people who leave their umbrellas at home get wet through.
