Anna and Jane are good friends. Anna’s favourite season is winter. Because she likes making snowman. But Jane doesn’t like winter. She thinks it’s too cold in winter. She likes spring best because it is warm, and she loves the new leaves and flowers. In spring, she often flies kites with her parents. Sometimes she goes for a walk with her grandparents. She always has a good time in spring.

The Weather in Britain

In Britain, winter is not very cold and summer is not very hot. There is not a great difference between summer and winter. Why is this?

Britain has a mild winter and a cool summer because it is an island country. In summer the sea is cool. The winds from the sea bring cool air to Britain.

The western winds blow over Britain all year round. They blow from the southwest, and they are wet winds. They bring rain to Britain throughout the year. Britain has a lot of rain all year round.

The four seasons are each three months long. Winter is in December, January and February. Spring is in March, April and May. Summer is in June, July and August. Autumn is in September, October and November.

Swimming is a very popular sport, especially in summer. People like swimming in summer because they feel comfortable in the water in hot weather. However, if you are swimming in a wrong place, it may not be safe. These years, a lot of people died when they were enjoying themselves in the water, and most of them were children. But some people still don’t pay attention to safety in swimming. They often think they swim so well that nothing can happen to them.

As the summer is coming, more and more people will swim in the river which is not as safe as the swimming pool. If you go swimming in the river, don’t forget that good swimmers drowned there. They died because they were not careful, not because they could not swim. So don’t get into the water when you are alone. If there is a “No swimming” sign, don’t get into the water, either. If you remember these, swimming will be safer.

In autumn, leaves fall to the ground. Many trees have nuts and fruit. Animals may begin to store food. Some birds collect nuts to store. Other birds fly to warmer places for winter. They won’t return until spring. Days become shorter. Cold weather is coming. The fur of many animals gets thick because they need a thick coat to protect them. People also wear warmer clothes, because the weather is a little colder. In some places there may be rain or even snow, but in many southern places it is still warm. Autumn is also the time when farmers harvest their crops. People look forward to autumn for many reasons. The most important one is that autumn is he harvest season.
