Seasons

As seasons change, nights become longer at one moment of a year, at another, days become longer. In autumn and winter, nights are longer. And in spring and summer, days are longer.

Spring comes after winter. It becomes gradually warm. Nature returns to life. People free themselves from topcoats. Our people very much likes spring, as Novruz Holiday is celebrated in honour of Spring’s arrival.

Spring is replaced by summer. Summer is the hottest season of a year. Schools are closed in summer. Schoolchildren are allowed for summer holiday. Summer may also be called as children’s holiday season.

Our country’s autumn is also nice. In autumn, weather becomes cooler. Fruits ripen, leaves fall. Trees take off their clothes, and people start dressing in warmer clothes.

Winter is the coldest season. We like winter season too. In winter, we look forward to snow, which we like very much. Soil rests in winter. A number of animals fall into a winter sleep.

Seasons of a year are not felt notably everywhere. There are some corners of the Earth where it is always hot or, on the contrary, cold. For example, in Antarctica, the south pole, ice and snow never melts. The same happens in the north pole. However, in Africa, people do not know what snow looks like. Somewhere it is raining heavily, but in the desert, almost never rains.
