Seasons and Weather — Времена года и погода (2)

The year is divided into four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter.
When winter comes, we are to spend more time at home, because it is cold outside. Ponds, lakes, rivers and streams are frozen, and the roads are sometimes covered with slippery ice or deep snow. We may get fog, sleet and frost. The trees are bare, because bitter winds have stripped them of all leaves.
In spring nature awakens from her long winter sleep. The trees are filled with new life. The weather gets gradually warmer. The fields and meadows are covered with fresh green grass. The sky is blue and cloudless. At night millions of stars shine in the darkness.
When summer comes the weather gets warmer and sometimes it’s very hot. It’s the farmer’s busy season. He works in his fields from morning till night. Sometimes the sky is overcast with heavy clouds. There are storms with thunder, lightning and hail.
Autumn brings with it the harvest time. The days get shorter and

the nights longer. The woods turn yellow and brown, leaves begin to fall down from the trees. The sky is grey and it often rains.

Времена года и погода (2)

Существует четыре времени года: весна, лето, осень и зима.
Когда приходит зима, мы проводим больше времени дома, потому что на улице холодно. Пруды, озера и ручьи замерзают, а дороги иногда покрыты гладким льдом или большим количеством снега. Может быть туман, град с дождем и мороз. Деревья голые, потому что холодные ветра оставили их без листьев.
Весной природа оживает от долгой зимней спячки. Деревья наполнены новой жизнью. Погода становится теплее. Поля и луга покрыты молодой зеленой травкой. Небо голубое и безоблачное.

Ночью миллионы звезд светят в темноте.
Когда наступает лето, становится теплее и иногда очень жарко. Это тяжелый сезон для фермера. Он работает на полях с утра до ночи. Иногда небо покрыто огромными тучами. Бывает непогода с грозой, молнией и градом.
Осень приносит с собой время урожая. Дни становятся короче, а ночи — длиннее. Леса желтеют и коричневеют, листья начинают опадать с деревьев. Небо серое и часто идет дождь.
