Describe your favourite season in your country. v. 1
Describe your favourite season in your country. You should say: what it is and when it comes what the season is like changes that happen and things you like to do during this season and explain why this is your favourite season. Follow-up Questions: 1. Describe the seasons in your country. 2. What is the most comfortable season in your country? 3. What's the necessity of clothes in a particular season? 4. What are the seasons you have in your country but other countries do not?   Model Answer 1: In Bangladesh, there are six seasons, each containing a period of two months of intensive period. While all the seasons in my country carry their distinct “flavours” and characteristics, "spring" undoubtedly is my most favourite season. Spring runs from mid-February to mid-April in my country.   This season is liked by all since there is no piercing heat or bone-chilling cold in this season or is there any rain at this time. It is the best season. During this season, "nature" in my country flourishes as if it is wearing a green dress. The plants and flower trees in the fields are decorated with all kinds of beautiful flowers of all colours, offering all of them a new lease of fresh life.   Besides, people in my think that this spring season is the period of abundance since the farmers finally get ready to harvest their crops and enjoy the fruits of their labour. Of course, the poets also get busy with writing their poems during this season. The poor are happy to have it as a relief from severe cold. Then, during this season, the sky remains cloudless. Flowers bloom everywhere, with their sweet smell spreading in all directions, and bees fly from one flower to another in order to pollinate. A breeze begins to blow. Sweet twitters of birds are heard, as well as the melodious voice of cuckoos in order to please our ear. Anyway, this is my favourite season because I can actually do a lot of things and outdoor activities, including cycling, enjoying a picnic or travelling to a beautiful natural site, during this period. Besides, I also like to hang out with my friends late at night in order to enjoy the beautiful and clear night sky. The beauty of spring season makes forget about our sorrows and also allows us to enjoy the nature around us to the fullest.   Finally, it is my favourite season also because it allows me to enjoy the perfect temperature, which is neither too hot nor too cold, no matter I stay inside my house of enjoying some outdoor activities.   Model Answer 2: I come from the "United Kingdom" where talking about the weather is always a topic of conversation. That is because we have four different seasons, and each is special and beautiful in its own way. Each different time of year also has its own distinct weather. Today I’m going to tell you about my favourite season, when it is, why I like it and what changes it brings, as well as the things I like to do in this season. So in the UK, our four seasons are spring, summer, autumn and winter. I like all of them in a way, but if I must choose, then I think my favourite must be autumn. Autumn is usually between around September and November each year, though it can shift a little if we have a long hot summer. Factually, autumn is the time of year when the days start to get shorter again, the temperature cools and plants and trees start to shut down and prepare for winter. You might think this would be depressing, but I don’t think so. For me, autumn is something of a relief. I get terrible hay fever in the summer from pollen, and I’m not great in the heat, so I find the temperature much more comfortable in autumn and I can be a lot more active and do more things. The best thing about autumn is the way that the trees change colour. I’m lucky because I live near woodlands. As autumn begins the leaves on trees transform from green to rich oranges; vivid yellows; warm browns and blinding gold.   If you have never seen a forest in autumn, it’s quite hard to imagine, but really and truly, at this time of year, if the autumn sun catches leaves as they blow off in the wind they can look like flames or pure gold. It is astonishingly beautiful. I also like to be outside, in summer, everyone else has the same idea, but in the autumn there are still some mild days to be enjoyed and I like to wrap up warm and head off for long walks in the blustering wind and have the countryside all to myself. I like to look out for wildlife and interesting plants on my treks. Sometimes I’ll go walking or running with a friend and it feels like the whole place up on the hills belongs just to us. So for me, autumn is special because of its beautiful colours; the lack of pollen to give me hay fever, the possibility of long country walks and being able to enjoy our wonderful British countryside all to myself! Eventually autumn ends, and it becomes very dark and cold as we move into winter. I’m not so keen on that as there is very little daylight and it seems to go on forever.   On the other hand, we have some great winter festivals: Halloween; Bonfire night and of course Christmas, so every season has its good points in my view!

season

country

What
are the
seasons
you have in your

but

Model Answer 1:

In Bangladesh, there are six
seasons
, each containing a
period
of two months of intensive
period
. While all the
seasons
in my
country
carry their distinct “
flavours
” and characteristics,
"
spring
"
undoubtedly
is my most
favourite
season.

Spring runs from mid-February to mid-April in my
country
.
 
This
season
is liked
by all since there is no piercing heat or bone-chilling
cold
in this
season
or is there any rain at this
time
. It is the best season.

During this
season
,
"
nature
"
in my
country
flourishes as if it is wearing a green dress. The plants and
flower
trees
in the fields
are decorated
with all kinds of
beautiful
flowers
of all
colours
, offering all of them a new lease of fresh life.
 
Besides
,
people
in my
think
that this spring
season
is the
period
of abundance since the farmers
finally
get
ready to harvest their crops and
enjoy
the fruits of their
labour
.
Of course
, the poets
also
get
busy with writing their poems during this
season
. The poor are happy to have it as a relief from severe
cold
. Then, during this
season
, the sky remains cloudless.
Flowers
bloom everywhere, with their sweet smell spreading in all directions, and bees
fly
from one
flower
to another in order to pollinate. A breeze
begins
to blow. Sweet twitters of birds
are heard
, as
well
as the melodious voice of cuckoos in order to
please
our ear.

Anyway
, this is my
favourite
season
because
I can
actually
do
a lot of
things and outdoor activities, including cycling, enjoying a picnic or travelling to a
beautiful
natural site, during this
period
.
Besides
, I
also
like to hang out with my friends late at night in order to
enjoy
the
beautiful
and
clear
night sky. The beauty of spring
season
makes
forget about our sorrows and
also
allows
us to
enjoy
the nature around us
to the fullest.
 
Finally
, it is my
favourite
season
also
because
it
allows
me to
enjoy
the perfect temperature, which is neither too hot nor too
cold
, no matter I stay inside my
house
of enjoying
some
outdoor activities.
 
Model Answer 2:

I
come
from the
"
United Kingdom
"
where talking about the weather is always a topic of conversation.
That is
because
we have four
different
seasons
, and each is special and
beautiful
in its
own
way. Each
different
time
of
year
also
has its
own
distinct weather.
Today
I’m going to
tell
you about my
favourite
season
, when it is, why I like it and what
changes
it brings, as
well
as the things I like to do in this
season
.
So
in the UK, our four
seasons
are spring,
summer
, autumn and
winter
. I like all of them in a way,
but
if I
must
choose, then I
think
my
favourite
must
be autumn. Autumn is
usually
between around September and November each
year
, though it can shift a
little
if we have a long hot
summer
.
Factually
, autumn is the
time
of
year
when the days
start
to
get
shorter again, the temperature cools and plants and
trees
start
to shut down and prepare for
winter
. You might
think
this would be depressing,
but
I don’t
think
so
. For me, autumn is something of a relief. I
get
terrible hay fever in the
summer
from pollen, and I’m not great in the heat,
so
I find the temperature much more comfortable in autumn and I can be a lot more active and do more things. The best thing about autumn is the way that the
trees
change
colour
. I’m lucky
because
I
live
near woodlands. As autumn
begins
the
leaves
on
trees
transform from green to rich oranges; vivid yellows; warm browns and blinding gold.
 
If you have never
seen
a forest in autumn, it’s quite
hard
to imagine,
but
really
and
truly
, at this
time
of
year
, if the autumn sun catches
leaves
as they blow off in the wind they can look like flames or pure gold. It is
astonishingly
beautiful
. I
also
like to be outside, in
summer
, everyone else has the same
idea
,
but
in the autumn there are
still
some
mild days to
be enjoyed
and I like to wrap up warm and head off for long walks in the blustering wind and have the countryside all to myself. I like to look out for wildlife and interesting plants on my treks.
Sometimes
I’ll go walking or running with a friend and it feels like the whole place up on the hills belongs
just
to us.
So
for me, autumn is special
because
of its
beautiful
colours
; the lack of pollen to give me hay fever, the possibility of long
country
walks and being able to
enjoy
our wonderful British countryside all to myself!
Eventually
autumn ends, and it becomes
very
dark and
cold
as we
move
into
winter
. I’m not
so
keen on that as there is
very
little
daylight and it seems to go on forever.
 
On the other hand
, we have
some
great
winter
festivals: Halloween; Bonfire night and
of course
Christmas,
so
every
season
has its
good
points in my view!
