C
Winter is a special season that brings a special kind of beauty. When winter comes, the world is covered with white snow.
The temperature drops, and cold winds blow. But this coldness creates a world full of wonder. Snowflakes (雪花) fall gently from the sky, like tiny white feathers (羽毛). They cover the ground, houses and trees, making everything look pure(纯净) and beautiful.
One of the best things about winter is playing in the snow. We can build snowmen. We give them carrot noses and old scarves. Having snowball fights is also really fun. We throw snowballs at each other, laughing and running around.
Winter also has its own magic indoors. We can sit by the warm fireplace and drink hot chocolate. The heat from the fire makes us feel warm. At night, when we look out of the window, the snow-covered streets, lit by streetlights, look like a magical picture.
And let's not forget about winter holidays. Christmas and New Year come in winter. There are beautiful decorations (装饰物) everywhere, like colourful lights and Christmas trees. It's a special time for families to get together, share gifts and have a great time.
All in all, winter may be cold, but it is full of magic and joy. It gives us memories that will last a lifetime.
