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

    We will start from spring. The reason why we will 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 hotter. Baby animals are growing, and many plants are growing and flowering.

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

    Winter is the last. In winter, the sun stays away from the Northern Hemisphere. It is colder and 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.
