Пори року в Англії

Англійські сім’ї люблять проводити свою відпустку і вихідні дні в сільській місцевості. Англійська сільська місцевість як килим з багатьох квітів в будь-яку пору року. Навесні і влітку поля, луки і ліси ‒ світло-зелені і темно-зелені. Сади ‒ червоні, сині, жовті і білі від квітів. Восени листя на деревах змінюють свій колір із зеленого на жовтий, коричневий, червоний і помаранчевий. Англійське літо ніколи не буває дуже жарким, а взимку не дуже холодно. Навесні і восени прохолодно. Холодний вітер дме в зимовий період з моря, влітку вітри холодні. Взимку мало снігу, і він ніколи не залишається на землі довго. Але в Англії випадає багато дощів круглий рік. Погода дуже мінлива. Трава в горах зелена круглий рік. Ось чому Ви можете побачити багато корів і овець на луках. Англійські діти дуже люблять грати в футбол. Вони можуть грати в футбол навіть в зимовий період, так як футбольні поля завжди зелені. Всі діти найбільше люблять літо, тому що це пора року їхніх канікул. Вони можуть ходити до моря, грати в зелених парках і гуляти в горах.
