There are four seasons in a year. they are winter, spring, summer and autumn. my favourite season is winter. winter months are december, january, february.  the days become shorter in winter and the nights become longer. i like winter because it is cold and snowy. in winter i can skate and ski. my family usually goes to the country to ski in the snowy fields.then we usually drink hot tea and talk.  sometimes we like to make snowmen. my mother plays snowballs with my dad there, and it's fun! next winter i'm going to join a skateboarding club!
