My Favourite Season

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

My favourite season is spring. Spring months are March, April and May. In spring nature awakens from its long winter sleep. The days become longer and the nights shorter. The sun usually shines brightly in the sky. It often rains and sometimes there are even thunderstorms. There are puddles in the streets. The air is very fresh, so I like to go for a walk after the rain. When the weather is sunny, I like going to the park or forest and watch the birds and insects. I also have my holidays in spring. I spend a lot of time with my friends outside. We ride our bikes and play games. I like spring very much.

Моё любимое время года

В году четыре времени года: зима, весна, лето и осень.

Мое любимое время года - весна. Весенние месяцы - март, апрель и май.

Весной природа пробуждается от долгого зимнего сна. Дни становятся длиннее, а ночи короче. Солнце обычно ярко светит в небе. Часто идут дожди, а иногда даже грозы. На улицах лужи. Воздух очень свежий, поэтому я люблю гулять после дождя. Когда погода солнечная, я люблю ходить в парк или в лес и наблюдать за птицами и насекомыми. У меня также есть каникулы весной. Я провожу много времени с друзьями на улице. Мы катаемся на велосипедах и играем в игры. Я очень люблю весну.
