Today I want you to read a short text about music and the seasons to practice your reading

skills. You can find definitions of the words in bold under the text.
Theres always a song suited to every season. When its summer or spring, we normally
listen to upbeat happy songs. When its autumn or winter, we normally listen to calm relaxing
music.
Whatever the season, we like to listen to nice catchy songs because they change our mood.
No matter how bad, lonely or hard times are, music seems to do magic and helps us think and
feel that at the end of the day, theres always something good we need to be thankful for.
