The Four Seasons-四季

The Four Seasons-四季
    In a year there are four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and win In spring, the sun shines brightly in the blue sky. The warm winds blow gently. The snow and ice can no longer remain. The little streams again flow merrily on. The flowers show their pretty shapes by the wayside and in the gardens. The trees send out little buds and new leaves. Farmers begin to till the soil and sow the seed. All nature is clothed in green colour and seems very attractive and lovely.
    In summer, the sun shines blazingly and the heat is unbearable. But the days are very long and we can do much work. The thunder-storm will come often in such stuffy weather. All the sights are still fine. We have a long vacation in summer. We can go to many places to enjoy this pleasant.
    In autumn, the days gradually become shorter, and the nights longer. The weather is colder than in summer. The mornings begin to be cold and the evenings are no longer warm. Farmers are reaping rice with scythes. It is the season for harvest. The leaves of the trees fall down. Most birds no longer sing, but nfigrate to warmer countries. In the midautumn the silvery moonlight becomes more delightful.
    In the last season of the year, the weather is extremely cold. The roofs are usually covered with frost in the early morning. Snow-storms will come very often. Brooks and rivers will be frozen and the ground will be frozen hard too during the coldest period. All the insects sleep under the ground without eating. Nothing looks as fine as in the spring time.
