Any season may be exciting for children.
1) Which seasons do Bill, Ray and Sue like? (listening for detail)
2) Why do Bill, Ray and Sue like these seasons?
Bill: I like snow and frost. Winter sports are my favourite. It’s a pity but we have little snow in winter. This winter my parents and I are going to visit Finland. The winter is mild and snowy there and we can ski as much as we want.
If this winter is snowy, we will stay in our town.
Ray: In Britain, we have both hot and cold weather, there is sunshine or dark clouds, warm or wet days. I think all types of weather are fine. I can find interesting activities to do in different weather. In winter I play hockey and ski. In summer I swim and fish. A new season comes and new activities begin.
Sue: I don’t like winter because of the severe winds and wet snow. I hate wearing warm clothes.
I am happy that it’s spring now. It is so wonderful to see the new spring leaves, grass and flowers.
Tomorrow the weather is going to be fine. I will ride a bike and go roller-skating.
I will have a good time!
