2.1 Текст «Seasons and weather»
There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Spring
is the time of hope and happiness. Nature is awakening. Trees are bursting in leaf, flowers are breaking into blossom. Spring is a busy season for gardeners who have much to do in their orchards. Rainy and warm weather in spring is good.
Summer
is the hottest season of all. It is a time of holidays and vacation. People go to the seaside to lie in the sun, to swim in the sea, and come back to their work and studies healthy and full of life. Sometimes there are heavy thunder-storms in summer.
Autumn
is the time of harvest. In September the weather is fine. October and November are mostly the rainy month. The sky is mostly overcast with low and heavy clouds. In October the days are growing shorter and the sun rays lose their warmth. In November almost all trees stand bare and lonely. A short period of warm pleasant weather in autumn is called the Indian Summer.
Winter
is the coldest season of all. Nights are long and days are short in winter. In winter the weather is nasty: the wind blows violently and snow strikes the face. Winter is the time for skiing, skating, hockey-playing. The streets and parks are all in white. It's very nice to be in the open air.
