My favorite season is autumn. I like it because it is very beautiful. There are a

lot of colorful leaves on the trees. It is not hot in autumn and it is not cold too.
I can do different things in autumn. I can gather mushrooms and berries in
autumn. I think that it is interesting. But I do not like late autumn. It is usually
cold and windy. I do not like the roads because they are muddy.

SEASONS AND WEATHER

There are four seasons in the year — spring, summer, autumn
and winter. The spring months are March, April and May In the
central part of Russia spring is usually mild and warm, but in
March there is still a lot of snow in the fields and woods, and the
first part of March may be very cold. The snow begins to melt in
March. In April the sun warms the earth and in the southern
parts of Russia everything starts to blossom. May is usually a
warm month everywhere. It is the busiest time for farmers.
 Summer begins in June and lasts till September. It's the best
season for many people. Because there is no school, most
people are on holiday and it's the time of leisure. The hottest
month is usually July. People often spend their weekends out of
town where they can swim and get sunburnt, go fishing or
hunting mushrooms. There may be warm summer showers in
July after which the air is fresh and full of pleasant smells.
August is sometimes rainy, but it is still warm and the trees are
still green.
The autumn months are September, October and
November. In September the sun shines less brightly and
leaves start to fall. There are a lot of autumn flowers. The
colors in the gardens and in the woods are wonderful — yellow,
green and red. It's the most beautiful season of the year, but it
doesn't last long. October and November may be rainy and
cold and a strong wind may blow. In the North of Russia
November is a winter month. Rivers and lakes are frozen, there
is a lot of snow everywhere.
The coldest time in winter is in January. The temperature may
be about 25 degrees below zero. Winter months are best for
skiing and skating. In December the days are the shortest in the
year and the nights are the longest. In February snowdrifts
begin, but it's usually a little warmer than in January.
