Winter.
This is the season
When mornings are dark,
And birds do not sing
In the forests and park.
This is the season
When children ski
And Father Frost brings
The New Year Tree!
Autumn.
This is a season when fruit is sweet,
This is a season when friends meet,
This is a season when leaves fall down
Red, orange, yellow, brown. March brings breezes sharp and chill,
Shakes the dancing daffodil.
April brings the primrose sweet,
Scatters daisies at our feet.
May brings flocks of pretty lambs,
Sporting round their fleecy dams.
June brings tulips, lilies, rose,
Fills the children’s hands with posies.
Hot July brings thunder-showers,
Apricots, and gilly-flowers.
August brings the sheaves of corn;
Then the harvest home is borne.

Christmas time is here,
happiness and cheer,
fun for all that children
call their favorite time of year.
Snowflakes in the air,
carols everywhere,
olden times and ancient rhymes
and love and dreams to share.
Sleigh bells in the air;
beauty every where;
yuletide by the fireside
and joyful memories there.
Christmas time is here;
we'll be drawing near;
oh that we could always see
such spirit through the year,
such spirit through the year
Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe fulClean, but not water,
Clean, but not water,
White, but not snow,
Sweet, but not ice-cream,
What is it?
***
Give me food and I will live
Give me water and I will die
What am I?

Лето
Говорит в июне мама:
"Наступает лето, summer.
Кто проводит в городе
Летний отпуск,
Нет тут моря, нет залива..
Нету даже речки, river. —
Соглашается малыш, —
Где ловить мне рыбу, fish
Нам бы сесть с тобой на поезд,
В лес густой уехать, forest.
"Хорошо, мышонок, mouse,
Снимем дачу, country house."
Осень
Погляди в окно скорей:
Кто стучится? —
Дождик, rain.
Наступает осень, autumn.
Все выходят на работу.
На асфальте дети мелом
Не рисуют — места нет.
Листья желтые там, yellow,
Много также красных, red.
Лету мы рукой помашем.
Дует влажный ветер, wind.
Ой, смотри, грибочек, mushroom,
На одной ноге стоит.
Зима
Не страшна зима мне, winter!
У меня есть теплый свитер,
Рукавички и носки.
Позову ребят скорей
На коньках кататься, skate,
И на лыжах, ski.
В снежки играли, snowballs.
За воротник заполз мороз —
Хитер мороз, непрост!
Приду домой, открою шкаф —
Там теплый мамин шарфик, scarf
Держись морозец frost!
Весна
Тепло посмотрит солнце вниз.
Природа сразу оживет,
Зазеленеют листья, leaves,
И прилетит к нам птичка, bird.
В апреле птицы будят нас,
И мы с тобою говорим:
"Смотри, пробилась травка, grass.
Как хорошо весною, spring!"

Seasons and Weather
The year is divided into four seasons - they are spring, summer, autumn and winter.
When winter comes, we are to spend more time at home, because it is cold outside.
Ponds, lakes, rivers and streams are frozen and the roads are sometimes covered with
slippery ice or deep snow. We may get fog, sleet and frost. The trees are bare because
bitter winds stripped them of all leaves. In
spring nature awakens from her long winter sleep. The trees are filled with new life. The
weather gets gradually warmer The fields and meadows are covered with fresh green
grass. The sky is blue and cloudless. At night millions of stars shine in the darkness.
When summer comes the weather gets warmer and sometimes it's very hot. It's the
farmer's busy season. He works in his fields from morning till night. Sometimes the sky is
overcast with heavy clouds. There are storms with thunder, lightning and hail. Autumn
brings with it the harvest time. The days get shorter and the nights longer. The woods
turn yellow and brown, leaves begin to fall from the trees The sky is grey and it often
rains.
The Seasons. My Favourite Season
It's universal truth that every season is beautiful in its own way. Isn't it wonderful to
tramp down the country lanes on a frosty winter day. Everything is white with snow and it
crunches under your feet. The rime sparkles on the branches and the icicles like precious
diamonds hang from the roofs of the houses. It's a merry time for both children and
grownups. They can go skating and skiing, sledging and having a fight with snowballs or
making a snowman. I suppose, it is very pleasant while the frost lasts, an unpleasant time
comes when the thaw begins.
Cars and buses go along streets splashing the mud an slush on the passers-by. Everyone
is grumbling and scolding the weather. But soon a warm wind blows up heavy grey clouds
and the sun shines brightly in the cloudless azure sky. In a few months summer will come.
Summer is the most suitable season for holidays and vacations. People enjoy bright
summer days if they are in the country or at the seaside. They go bathing and swimming,
and fishing and boating. But it's unbearable to stay in town on such hot and glaring days.
Everybody droops and shambles and tries to hide in the shade.
Then after a good rest autumn and harvest time comes. The corn has turned golden and
the farmer will reap it and put it in his barn. The air is fresh and full of the autumn
fragrance of ripe apples,plums and peaches and of course, coloured asters,
chrysanthemums. But the weather is so changeable in autumn, people have to wear
raincoats and umbrellas if they don't want to get wet through. The dead leaves cover the
ground like a thick motley carpet, the roads are slippery and wet,there are lots of puddles
in the streets and again everyone is looking forward to frosty winter days and much snow
out-of-doors.
It's rather difficult to say what season is the best one, however dull and nasty or charming
and marvellous the weather may be.
As to me, I always look forward to summer. I am never tired of its long sunny days, warm
rains with thunderstorms and hail, the buzz of mosquitoes and midges. I like to spend my
summer holidays at the seaside.
In my childhood I used to enjoy playing on the beach, making castles and forts in the
sands. When one becomes older one begins to notice the murmur of the sea and it's so
beautiful to look at the moon's way on the water in the darkness. The air is fresh and it's
easy to breathe. I like to lie in the sun getting as brown, paddle in the water or get
splashed by the waves. But it's not every year that you can go to the seaside. Sometimes
I spend my holidays in the country. Most of my time I spend in the woods gathering
strawberries and flowers or at the river bathing and swimming in it. Very often, I help my
granny in the vegetable garden weeding it or gathering tomatoes, cucumbers or raddish. I
like to walk in the rain or just sit indoors watching the raindrops falling down from the
green leaves and blades of the grass onto the ground. When summer is over, I always feel
sorry, because it was too short and was too quick to pass.
