Changing for the seasons
Four Seasons
There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter.


In spring, the weather gets warmer, and the days get longer. The crops begin to grow. The trees turn green and flowers come out.
In summer, it is sunny and hot. The crops grow fast. Children like to eat ice cream. They often go swimming in summer.


Autumn is a golden season. It is windy and cool. The days become shorter and the nights become longer. It is the time for the harvest and the farmers are very busy.
Winter is the last season of the year. It is cold in many places. It often snows in the northern part of China. Children are very happy, because they can make a snowman and dance around it. We usually enjoy nice hotpot in winter.
(The buckets in Figure 3 have the Chinese character "丰" on them)
