Part 3: 
Exam practice 
Part 1 
Exercise 1
Model answers
1 My country has four seasons.
2 The weather in my country is very dry. There’s 
a rainy season in January and February.
3 I feel very sad on rainy days.
4 I like going to the beach when it’s hot.
I really like the weather in spring. It’s often warm 
but it is sometimes very hot. It’s often cold too. 
There’s lots of rain in spring. I like the different 
types of weather because you can’t answer the 
question ‘what’s the weather like today?’ We 
don’t know!
It is different from other season in my country 
because it changes quickly. On Monday it’s 
sunny, but on Tuesday there are thunderstorms. 
In summer, the weather is always hot. In autumn, 
the weather is usually cold and dry. In winter, it 
is always very cold and windy. Winter makes me 
feel sad.
The main reason why it is my favourite season 
is because there’s lots of sun and you can do 
sports outside or just enjoy the warm weather 
with friends. Spring is also the end of winter 
which I don’t like.
Part 2 
Exercise 2
Model answer:
I’d like to describe my favourite season in my 
country. My country has four seasons and there 
are lots of types of weather. I think my favourite 
season is spring. I prefer this to the summer.
Spring lasts for about three months. It lasts from 
March to May. Some people think that spring 
is short and only lasts for about two months. 
Maybe this is true.
