阅读材料：Four seasons
Part 1
We have four seasons in a year. They are: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Spring is the loveliest season in the year. In this season, flowers bloom and birds
sing. The world is full of life. The weather is warm and the swallows begin to come
back to live with us again. Poets describe spring as s season full of hope.
Summer is the welcomest season to schoolchildren. They have a long summer vacation. They may go to swim and play. They can go to seaside or go camping in the mountains.
Autumn is a good season for picnics and games. In this season, leaves begin to
fall and flowers begin to wither away. This is why some people say that autumn is a
season of sadness and loneliness, but I don't think it is true. It is the season for
harvests. The world is full of laughing and singing.
Winter is cold. In some northern countries, snow begins to fall and most people
have to stay indoors. But in tropical countries the weather is still warm and the people
go out of doors as usual. Winter is the season draws near the new year. When winter
slowly passes, a new year will be born.
