My name is Tom. I like shopping very much, but I never go shopping on weekends. There are too many people in shop. I don’t like shopping with other people. It usually takes me much time to buy things because I never buy the first thing I see. I always look around other shops to find the same thing cheaper. I’m good at finding cheap things. I don’t like buying food in small shops or street markets. I think food in the supermarket is fresh and cheap.

Most of the people in China can have four seasons. However, people in South China have three seasons --- spring, summer and fall. They don’t have winters. In north China, people have a cold, dry and windy winter. But people in Kunming only have one season --- spring. It’s warm and rainy all the year. You can see green trees and beautiful flowers there. So “ Spring City ”is another name for Kunming.
