Your Favorite Season
Tell me about your favorite season.
You should say:
what the season is
what the weather is usually like during this season
what you can do during this season
and explain how the season influences your feelings·
．
My favorite season is autumn: pleasant with mild weather, compared to summer.
．
Colors change in autumn spectacular
．
People can go out: beautiful season to go for a walk
．
In Chinese philosophy, fall=union between people and families (Mid-Autumn
festival)
．
Autumn is a season of contrasts
＝
life and death; in between (summer
＋
winter)
My favorite season has to be the fall, or "autumn" in British English. It's a pleasant time of the
year because of the temperature
．
In Fuzhou, summers are boiling hot and humid. You will sweat a
lot. Fall is more moderate; the weather is mild, and everyone is thrilled when the summer is finally
over.
When fall shows up, the colors of the tree leaves change. They turn red and yellow, which is
quite spectacular. Fuzhou is surrounded by mountains and forests, and it's really spectacular to see
those stunning shades.
Because the weather gets better, people dare to leave their air-conditioned houses to go out shopping
or to the park. As I told you, in the summer, it's really too hot to do anything. In the fall I enjoy
hiking in the forests and the mountains that surround my hometown.
In Chinese philosophy, fall is very significant. Fall represents union, and it's a time when
Chinese people get together and share their feelings before the year comes to an end. It is the period
where the crops have been harvested, and this is an occasion for family reunion, represented by the
full moon. Poets describe autumn as a season that will make people feel homesick. They always
depict a sad period of the year that will encourage people to get back home to reunite with their
loved ones.
It’s a period of contrasts because
，
in autumn, leaves turn red, and red in China represents life;
but the leaves also represent death as leaves fall and winter will soon kick in.
Vocabulary
“Human activity has already begun to destabilize
(=knock off balance) the global climate,
as greenhouse gases reach levels that are higher than they have been for 20 million years
．
Experts
predict forecast) that we will experience increasing climate fluctuations changes, variability) with
more intense storms, droughts no rain), and stress to all ecosystems. Dramatic changes in global
climate patterns will require us to make equally dramatic changes in the patterns of human
living:"
