THE FOUR SEASONS The United States and other western countries are quite different from Indonesia. They have four seasons; spring, summer, autumn, and winter, but they are only two seasons in Indonesia; the wet and dry seasons.

In the spring time there is a little rain, new green leaves grow and flowers begin to bloom. This season lasts three months. During the season the tree look green and beautiful because of the flowers. Spring is followed by summer. In this season everything is almost the same as the dry season in Indonesia. It is very hot but the air is humid. After the three months, autumn comes. In this season leaves turn yellow, orange and red before they fall down from the trees. That is why most Americans call this season “fall” instead of autumn. The trees are colorful during this season. Winter comes after autumn. In this season it gets very cold and there is a lot of snoweverywhere. When the winter ends, the ice begins to melt and spring comes.                 Most people like spring and autumn better than the other two seasons. Some people, however, prefer winter although it is an unpleasant season as they can do winter sports such as ice skating or skiing. Some others enjoy summer. They go to beaches or lakes to have a swim. Adopted from: Grolier Student Encyclopedia and English Students Work Book IX
