Dear Robert：
亲爱的罗伯特：

I hope you are well. Thank you for your last letter.
愿你身体健康。感谢你上次来信。

You asked me about the weather here in China. There are four seasons in the year here--spring, summer, autumn and winter.
你问及中国的天气。这儿一年有四季--春、夏、秋、冬。

Spring is the best season of the year. The weather gets warmer, and the days get longer. On the farm, everything begins to grow.The trees turn green, and the flowers start to come out.
春天是一年里最好的季节。天气渐暖，白天渐渐变长。农场里，各种作物开始生长。树木变绿，鲜花盛开。

Summer comes after spring. It is the hottest season. It often rains,sometimes quite heavily. Everything grows very quickly. Young people love this time of year, because it is good for sports. I often go-swimming, sometimes in a lake near my home, and sometimes in the river. I enjoy it very much.
春天之后是夏天。夏天是最热的季节。常下雨，且有时下得很大。万物生长很快。年轻人喜爱这个时节，因为它适合体育运动。我经常去游泳，有时在我家附近的湖里，有时在河里。我很喜欢游泳。

Autumn is a busy season. The days get shorter and the nights get longer. It is harvest time, and all the farmers are very busy. Often, we help them with the harvest. Last year we helped them with the orange-picking.We really enjoyed working on the farm. This year we are going to help them with the rice harvest.
秋天是繁忙的季节。白天逐渐变短，夜晚则渐渐变长。因是收获季节，所有的农民都很忙。我们经常帮助他们收割。去年我们帮他们搞苹果。我们实在太喜欢在农场干活了。今年我们准备去帮他们收水稻。

The coldest season of the year is winter. Some people don't like winter, but I quite like it. Sometimes it snows, and the land is all white. Then we go skating. The farmers are all busy, getting ready for the next year.
一年里最冷的季节是冬天。有些人不喜欢冬天，但我很喜欢。有时会下雪，地面白茫茫一片。那时我们就去滑冰。农民们则全都忙着为下一年作准备。

Yours,
你的

Different countries, different weather
不同的国家，气候各异

In much of China, spring is usually very short. It usually comes in February or March. Summer is often very hot. It lasts from May to July. The hottest month is July. Autumn starts in August, and goes on to October. The weather c

an be quite warm in autumn.Winter lasts from November to January and is very cold. You need to wear lots of warm clothes. The best time to come to China is in spring or autumn. In summer it is often too hot, and in winter it is too cold.
在中国的许多地方，春天通常很短。通常在2月或3月开始。夏天很热。从5月持续到7月。最热的月份是7月。秋天开始于8月，持续到10月。秋天，气候十分暖和。冬天从11月持续到1月，非常寒冷。人们要穿很多的保暖的衣服。到中国来，最好的时间是在春天或者秋天。夏天常常太热，冬天又常常太冷。

The seasons of the year in England and the USA are nearly the same.But unlike much of China and the USA, the weather in England never gets too hot, or too cold. In England, too, spring is longer.Spring in England can last from late March to May.
在英国和美国，一年之中的季节几乎与中国相同。但是，跟中国和美国的许多地方不同，在英国从来没有太热的或者太冷的天气。英国的春天也较长，能够从3月下旬延续到5月。

The Australian seasons are the opposite: summer is from December to February, and winter is in June, July and August.So when it's spring in China, it is autumn in Australia.
澳大利亚的季节正好相反：夏天从12月到2月，冬天是在6月、7月和8月。 因此，当中国是春天的时候，澳大利亚则是秋天。
