(B)
It's December. It's snowy and the weather is really cold in the north of China. You can see many children playing in the snow. Some of them are making snowmen. Some are skating on the river. It's a white world. How beautiful!
But in Australia, the weather is hot now. Many people are swimming in the sea. They are having a good time. Jim and his friends are playing soccer near the sea. They want to swim after playing soccer.
