Spring is green with flowers and songs. Summer is hot and the days are long. Autumn is rich with fruit and grain. Winter brings snow and the New Year again.
I like summer because the days are longer. Though it may get a bit too hot sometimes, our family still loves that season because it’s the best time of year to go to the beach for fun on weekends. Then everything is really perfect when you come to the beach.

There are four seasons in a year. They are spring, summer, fall and winter.
I like spring. It is warm. It often rains. I can plant trees and flowers in spring. The spring is green.Summer is very hot. I can swim in the river. Fall is a good season. It is nice. I can fly kites in fall. I can eat many apples too. Winter is cold. I wish I can play snow and make a snowman in Beijing someday. Because it does not snow in Hangzhou.
I love all the seasons, because they are nice.
