There are 12 months in a year: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August,
September, October, November, December. The four seasons of the year are spring, summer,
autumn, and winter. Spring is the first season of the year. It begins on March 22 nd and ends on
June 21st . Summer is the second, it begins on June 22nd and ends on September 21st . Autumn
is the third season of the year, and winter the fourth. During the year, the weather often changes.
In spring the weather is warm and it rains quite often. In the spring the plants start to grow. The
grass and the trees are green. In summer the weather is hot and people like to spend their holiday
at the seaside or in the mountains. In autumn the days are cool again. It often rains, the wind
blows, and the leaves change their colour from green to yellow and fall from the trees. In winter
it snows and it becomes very cold.
