My Favourite Season

There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

I think that every season has its own charm. But still my favourite season is spring and I'm sure a lot of people share this opinion with me. Spring is the season of hope, happiness and love. It is the season when nature awakens from its winter sleep: the ice is broken, the grass is beginning to shoot, the trees are bursting into leaf. Spring comes in March and ends in May. It begins with the unique spring smell — the smell of fresh air, future rains and greenery, the smell of hope and joy of life. It often rains in spring especially in April. People say: «April showers bring May flowers». Birds comeback from the warm lands, build their nests and twitter in the trees.

I like spring not only because the weather is usually fine then but also because I was born in spring. I celebrate my birthday in April. I invite my friends and we have a lot of fun either indoors or in the open air.

I don't know anyone who wouldn't like spring.
