We have seasons on the earth. Places in different parts of the world have different seasons.

    We will start from spring. The reason we start here is that spring is the season of the beginning. Many animals are born in spring, and plants start growing. The weather starts to get warm. The days start getting long. There is usually more rain too. This is good weather for plants to start growing.

    Summer is after spring. The sun is shining directly at our side of the earth, the Northern Hemisphere(北半球). This means the days are longer and that the weather is hot.Baby animals are growing, and many plants are growing and flowering.

    Autumn is the next season. During autumn, the Northern Hemisphere begins to move away from the sun. Because of this, the weather gets cold. The days get short. In autumn, the leaves change colour and fall off the trees. Animals prepare for winter by collecting food.

    The winter season is the last. In winter, the Northern Hemisphere is away from thesun. This means it is colder and that the days are shorter. In some places, it snows. There are few leaves on the trees, and many plants die. Some animals hibernate(冬眠), because there is not much food. Some animals also grow long fur to keep warm.
