LESSON -5 
TEXT: SEASONS 
There are four seasons in the year: spring, summer, autumn or fall, as the 
Americans call it, and winter. 
The winter months are: December, January and February. Winter weather 
varies widely in our country. It is very cold in the North and warm in the South. 
Spring is the most pleasant season of the year. Everyone wants to go to the 
country and enjoy the nice season. Spring lasts three months: March, April, May.
Summer is the best season for different sports in the open air. Most people have 
their vacations during the summer months which are June, July and August.
Autumn is a very beautiful season. Many people like autumn best of all. The 
leaves on the trees are red and yellow in September. Towards the end of October, it 
often rains, the weather gets colder in November and in December, winter comes.
