1. WEATHER IN RUSSIA

2. Everyone knows that there are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

3. When winter comes, we are to spend more time at home, because it’s cold outside. Ponds, lakes, rivers and streams are frozen. The tress are bare, because bitter winds have stripped them of all leaves.

8. In spring nature awakens from her long winter sleep. The weather gets gradually warmer. The fields and meadows are covered with fresh green grass.

13. When summer comes the weather gets warmer and sometimes it’s very hot. People enjoy bright summer days if they are in the country or at the seaside. They go bathing and swimming, and fishing and boating.

17. Then after a good rest there comes autumn. The air is fresh and full of the autumn fragrance of ripe apples, plums and peaches. The dead leaves cover the ground like a thick motley carpet, the roads are slippery and wet, there are lots of puddles in the streets.
