Seаsons

There lived four sisters long ago. They were seasons. Their names were Spring, Summer, Autumn and  Winter. Every sister had three sons – their three months. Spring had March, April and May. Summer had June, July and August. Autumn had September, October and November. And Winter had December, January and February. They always lived happily.                                                                                          But one day Summer told, “Autumn and Winter, you are absolutely useless! Spring and me work hard and you don’t work at all”.

“ When Winter comes, children only play snowballs, make snowmen, skate and ski”, Spring added.

“When Autumn comes, it always rains!” – said the Summer.

The war between four sisters began. Suddenly, a famous magician, named the Sun, came to visit them. He said: “Stop fighting! You mustn’t do it! Every season is beautiful and useful! If you don’t stop your fighting, your kingdom will disappear!”

All sisters understood that the Sun was right and stopped the war.

T: So, we’ve just read about the magician in the text.

- What is it? 

- Why did the war between four sisters begin?

- What did the Sun say?

T: Now, read the sentences after the text and correct the mistakes.

2. Every sister had three daughters – their three months.

3. Spring told that Summer and Winter are useless.

4. When Winter comes, children only go to school.
