There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Every season lasts about three months. My favourite season is winter.
Winter usually begins in December and ends in March. It is cold in winter and it often snows. There is much snow on the ground. It gets dark early in the evening. It gets light late in the morning. In winter we have the shortest days and the longest nights. It is difficult and unpleasant to get up early in the morning in winter because it is dark and cold.
But winter is a good time for sports. In winter we can go in for such kinds of sports like skating and skiing. It is very pleasant to go skiing in the country on a bright sunny day. We can play snowballs and make snowmen. I like to play hockey with my friends in winter.
В году четыре сезона: весна, лето, осень и зима. Каждый сезон длится около трех месяцев. Мое любимое время года-зима.
Зима обычно начинается в декабре и заканчивается в марте. Зимой холодно и часто идет снег. На земле много снега. Рано вечером темнеет. Становится светло поздно утром. Зимой у нас самые короткие дни и самые длинные ночи. Зимой трудно и неприятно вставать рано утром, потому что темно и холодно.
Но зима-хорошее время для спорта. Зимой мы можем заниматься такими видами спорта, как катание на коньках и лыжах. В яркий солнечный день очень приятно кататься на лыжах за городом. Мы можем играть в снежки и лепить снеговиков. Мне нравится играть в хоккей с друзьями зимой.
Thank you for your letter. It’s so wonderful to hear from you.
In your letter you asked me what is my favorite time of the year. I love spring. It is a wonderful season.
Spring comes and nature awakens from its winter sleep. The days become longer and the nights become shorter.
The ground is covered with fresh green grass and the first spring flowers. How lovely the white snowdrops are! There are new leaves and blossoms on the trees.Many people like spring more than other seasons. It is very pleasant to watch how the nature awakens from the winter sleep.
In spring we can go to the country and have a walk in the woods or by the river, play ball-games, lie in the sun and even have a swim if the water is warm enough.
I will write to you soon again!
All the best.
