缅因英语口语 第 82 课：the seasons 季节 - 2

A: what are the seasons like in your city?

B: summers is hot and usually lasts a long time. Winters are short, but cold, wet, and windy. I love the summers in my city, but I hate the wintertime.

A: does it ever rain in summer?

B: we usually get a big thunderstorm every two weeks, but apart from that, summers are dry. Thunderstorms make the air fresh again, so most people don't mind them.

A: what are spring and autumn like?

B; I like spring because flowers bloom and trees grow leaves again. In spring, the weather is very changeable-sometimes cold, sometimes warm. It's usually windy with some rain. Autumn is usually sunny and dry, but it's gradually gets colder as winter arrives. What are the seasons like in you city?

A; well, I live in the southern hemisphere, so our summertime is your wintertime, and vice versa. We get some rain in every season, but most is in winter. In winter, it sometimes gets cold, but our winters are usually quite mild. Summers are warm, but not hot. Spring and autumn are both very short-sometimes just a few weeks each. The weather is very changeable then-just like spring in your city.

B; do you usually go on a summer holiday?

A; no, I don't. I go on a winter holiday instead. I go somewhere warm.

B: I usually go on holiday during the spring or the autumn. I try to go somewhere where the weather is more reliable than in my city.
