Диктант:

There are four seasons in the year: winter, spring, summer and autumn. Each of them lasts three
months. Every season is beautiful in its own way. When spring comes nature awakens from its long
winter sleep. The days become longer and the nights become shorter. The air is fresh, the sky is blue and
cloudless, and the sun shines brightly. The trees are in full blossom. The days are warm and everything is
full of life and joy. All kinds of plants and flowers come out. The birds return from the South and build
their nests.
Spring is followed by summer. The weather gets still warmer and sometimes very hot, especially in
July. Sometimes there are storms with thunder and lightning.

In summer many people have holidays and vacations. They spend much time on the seashores, river
beaches, in the forests and in the mountains. It's a good time to swim, to pick mushrooms, berries,
flowers, go fishing and boating and become sunburnt.
Autumn begins in September. The days become shorter and nights longer. The sky is often cloudy. This
is mostly a rainy season. The leaves turn yellow, red and brown and fall to the ground. Most birds fly
away to warm countries. The farmers begin to harvest what they sowed in spring. But there are some
sunny days in late September that is called Indian summer.

But gradually it gets colder and colder. The landscape becomes very dull. Nature slowly falls asleep. In
winter the sun sets early and rises late. The days are the shortest and the nights are the longest. The
rivers and lakes are frozen over. The sky is grey, the sun shines but doesn't give warmth. Everything is
covered with snow. The weather gets frosty. Sometimes it is very cold, about 20-25 degrees below zero.
Winter is a good time for sport.
As for me, I like all seasons, but best of all I like spring.
