the time. Sometimes it is very hot. People are happier and they talk with their friends and
go for a walks more. The days are very long. In July, for example, it gets dark only about

snowmen. I don’t like winter because we can’t go for a walks very much. We wear thick

winter - Chirismas!
After the long winter, sprong is great! There are new leaves on the trees and the birds
start to sing. We can go for long walks again and play in the park. The days are longer and
