Rosemary: Hey Mirian, What’s up?
Mirian: Not much. You?
Rosemary: Uh, well, exams start next week. I like to study out here
on the grass.

Mirian: Great idea. It’s a really nice day. It’s very sunny, though.
Rosemary: Oh, I usually sit under a tree so I don’t feel hot.
Sometimes there are empty benches in the shade.

Mirian: Ah, that sounds nice.

Mirian: Well, I should be going. I have a really big test, too. But I
usually study in my dorm.

Read the months of the year in the calendar. Is the stressed syllable
the same (S) or different (D) in your language?

Study the four seasons.

 Four seasons or two?
Countries with a temperate climate, like the ones in
Europe and North America, have four very defined
seasons: hot summers in June, July and August; cold
winters in December, January and February, with heavy
snow in some countries; cool, windy falls in September,
October and November and warm springs in March,
April and May.

In contrast, tropical regions, especially around the

equator, have only two seasons: The dry season and the
rainy season. So, in places like, India, West Africa,
Central America, the north of South America and the
north cost of Australia, the rainy season is in the winter
(June, July and August), and it’s accompanied by very
high temperatures.
