Lindsay / United States : My favorite season1
is summer2. I love
summer. There is no school. It's warm3.
The sun sets late4.
You can sit5 on
your balcony6 and
drink a beer and barbecue7.
I just think it's fabulous. My least favorite8
then obviously is winter9,
because the sun goes down early, you can't go on your balcony and relax, it's freezing cold10, and
it's just not an enjoyable11
season at all12.
Kat / Germany: My favorite season is winter, because there's a lot of snow13,
and it's cold outside14,
and it's just beautiful. When the countryside15
is covered with16
snow, it's just perfectly white, and I think that's amazing17. Also, I love to build snowman18, have snowball fights19 with my friends, so that is
definitely my favorite season. My least favorite season is summer, because it's
too hot. I really don't like the heat20.
Matt / United States: My favorite season is springtime21, because everything is getting all flowery22 and new and fresh again.
My least favorite season, however23,
is fall24 because
I know that it's going to be getting
cold soon25, and you can't predict26 if it's going to be a warm day or a cold day.
And sometimes27,
you think it's going to be a warm day in the fall, but all of a sudden28 it
gets very cold29 and you don't have your jacket with you.
Warren / Canada : My favorite season would be summer. It's pretty30 cold in
Canada, and it's nice to have a long, sunny31,
dry32 summer, and there's
a lot of outdoor33
things you can do then, and it just
feels better34. My least favorite is definitely winter,
because it's cold, and you don't want to
get outside35, you want to stay inside more. I think it can
be a little depressing36.
Antoinette / United States: My favorite season would probably be autumn37. I love the changing of the leaves38.
I love the colors and the mountains. I love the crisp39 autumn wind40
that blows the leaves around41.
And I love walking around42
in that crisp autumn air to come home to a warm cup of hot chocolate.
Rese / Botswana: Well, in my country, we've only got43 two seasons. It would be summer
and winter. So, I'd say44
my favorite is summer, because of45
the sun and the warm weather46,
you can hang out47
with friends and do pretty much
anything48 you want to do. I guess49 winter I don't like so much, because I can't handle50 the cold and there's not really that much to do51 when it's
cold weather.
