Seasons — Времена года (1)

The year is divided into four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and autumn. Each season has its good and bad sides.
The weather in spring is generally mild but sometimes the days are really cold, especially in the beginning of the season. It is the time when everything awakes from its winter sleep.
Summer is the hottest season. It’s time for holidays. People go to the seaside to sunbathe, to swim or to have a rest. In our country it usually gets hot in the end of June and July. Summer nights are short, but wonderful, the days are long.
Talking about autumn, I guess it isn’t as niece as summertime. It’s a season of winds and beautiful sunsets. The weather gets cooler and cooler. The leaves turn yellow and reddish and fall down to the ground and the birds migrate to warm countries.
A spell of sunny weather in September is called Indian summer or » Golden Autumn», In the end of November it sometimes snows. Though some people like autumn,

because it is full of colours, but to my thinking it’s a dull and rainy season.
Winter is the coldest time of the year. It is time of snow and frost. It is time of New Year and Christmas. In winter the temperature rarely can cross the point of ten or fifteen centigrade below freezing point in our country.

Времена года (1)

Год делится на четыре сезона: зима, весна, лето и осень. Каждый сезон имеет свои хорошие и плохие стороны.
Погода весной, как правило, мягкая, но иногда дни бывают действительно холодными, особенно в начале сезона. Это время года, когда все пробуждается от зимнего сна.
Лето является самым жарким сезоном. Это время для отпусков. Люди едут на побережье позагорать, поплавать и отдохнуть. В нашей стране обычно становится жарко

в конце июня и июле. Летние ночи короткие, но они великолепны, а дни длинные.
Говоря об осени, я полагаю, что это время года не такое чудесное, как лето. Это время ветров и великолепных закатов. Погода становится холоднее и холоднее. Листья становятся желтыми и красноватыми, и опадают на землю, птицы улетают в теплые страны.
Период солнечной погоды в сентябре называется бабьим летом или «золотой осенью». В конце ноября иногда идет снег. Хотя некоторым людям нравится осень из-за ее красочности, по моему мнению, это мрачный и дождливый сезон.
Зима является самым холодным временем года. Это время снега и мороза. Это время Нового года и Рождества. В нашей стране температура зимой редко пересекает отметку десяти-пятнадцати градусов мороза.
