The four seasons
Spring
In spring, the weather starts to get warm. The wind blows gently. It often rains. Plants start to grow. Everything turns green. It is exciting to take a trip in spring.
Summer
The weather is hot in summer. The Sun shines brightly. Many people like to go to the beach and swim in the sea. It is nice to eat ice cream in the hot weather.
Autumn
In autumn, everything changes. Leaves turn brown, red or yellow and start falling from the trees. It is nice to go on a picnic at this time of year because the weather is cool and dry.
Winter
Winter is often cold and snowy. Children love winter because they love to play in the snow. It is interesting to make snowmen. People usually spend time with their relatives during the Spring Festival.

A Listen to Kelly talking about the weather in Canberra, Australia and put the photos below in the correct order. Write the numbers 1– 4 in the boxes.
Our autumn is from March to May. It's usually sunny and dry. There are orange and brown leaves on the trees. They are beautiful. I like autumn best.
Summer in Canberra is usually dry and hot. It's from December to February. We usually go to the beach and spend a week there. I don't like summer, but I like the summer holidays!
In Canberra, spring is from September to November. I love the spring weather here. It's warm and sometimes rainy. There are lots of small, white flowers on the trees.
Winter in Canberra is from June to August, and it's very cold. Some people like going to the Snowy Mountains. I don't like going out in the cold weather. I usually stay at home.
