The choice of clothers depends on weather. выбор одежды зависит от погоды.
In winter we wear warm jackets and sweaters and warm boots and warm hats. зимой мы одеваем теплые куртки, свитера и теплые ботинки и теплые шапки.
In spring and autumn we also wear warm clothers but they are not so warm as in winter. When the sun shines we can go without hat. весной и осенью мы также одеваем теплую одежду, но она уже не такая теплая как зимой. когда светит солнце мы идем без шапки.
In summer we wear light clothers. Women wear dresses or light suits. Men wear trousers with shirt or T-shirt. летом мы носим легкую одежду. Девушки одевают платья или легкие костюмы. Мужчины одевают брюки с рубашкой или футболкой.
Young people wear shorts. молодежь одевает шорты.
The weather can be different and we choose clothers to feel comfortable. погода бывает разной и мы выбираем ту одежду в которой будем чувствовать себя комфортно.
But we aren't always succseed in it. но нам не всегда это удается.
the weather is so chan gable. погода так изменчива.

Dear John,
How are you? Everything is fine with me I haven't written for a while but I've been realy busy! Are you preparing for Christmas? Have you already bought gifts for your family? What about me I recently went shopping. It takes me a lot of time. I bought a T-shirt for my brother and a vase for my mother because her last vase was broken by cat. I have no idea what can I to present to my father. A seller advised to buy a cap, but I not sure about it. Also I bought smth to you. If you haven't bought presents and don't know what to buy we'll go shopping together.
Take care of yourself.
Best wishes,
Nick.
