Impersonal sentences are sentences
where there is no natural subject. We
usually have the word there or it in
the subject position.
We use:
There + be to say that someone/
something exists. There is a
museum in my town .
It + be for identification. There's a
letter for you. It's from overseas.
It + be for distance (It's 2 km
from here to the city centre.),
temperature (It's hot in here.),
time (It's one o'clock.), weather
(It's sunny today.) and in
expressions such as: it seems/
appears that, it looks like, it
doesn't matter, etc
(It seems that the bus is late.)

My favourite season is summer because I was born in summer. In summer the weather is warm and sometimes hot. I like that there are many different kinds of berries, fruit and vegetables in summer. You can go to the forest to pick up berries and gather mushrooms. In summer you can spend your time on the banks of lakes and rivers or go to the seaside. I swim in lakes and rivers with my friends or my family. I like to ride my bike in summer. Sometimes we arrage picnics or live in the country for a week or more. My grandparents live there. My sister and I help them in the garden. And of course I love summer very much, because summer holiday is the longest holiday in the year. You ask me about my dog. Well, its name is Dingo. It's 4 years old. I like to walk my dog. It also likes summer most of all, becaust it likes to travel with us in summer everywhere: to the park, to the river. We take Dingo to picnics, to our grandparents. I think that's all for now. How are you? Keep in touch.
Best wishes,
