Autumn descriptive writing YouTube.flv
Sing this song !
Chorus : I want to tell you all about autumn,
That’s another name for fall.
It begins at the end of September,
When the days are short and the trees are tall.
Autumn is a time to change the clocks,
We fall an hour behind.
We get an extra hour to sleep at night,
‘Cause that’s what happens when we rewind.
(Back to chorus)
Autumn is a time for Halloween,
Wearing costumes while we trick-or-treat.
Walking around our neighborhood,
Collecting so much candy to eat. (Back to chorus)
Autumn is a time for Thanksgiving,
Let’s be thankful for the food on our plate.
And all of the good things in our lives,
With our family, we celebrate. (Back to chorus)
One of the things I’m looking forward to this autumn is the end of daylight savings.
While I know most people would like the sun to stay up longer, I’m eager for it to rise
earlier!
I wake up at 4:30 am during the week in order to hit the gym, and it is always so much
easier to get going when it’s lighter outside. What are you looking forward to in the next
few months?
Example of descriptive text
AUTUMN SEASON
Autumn commences in the month of August or September in the
north, while in the southern part, the season of autumn arrives in
the month of March. This is a time when trees get rid of their old
look in the process of shedding leaves. The green leaves change to
yellow, red and brown. Finally, those dry leaves fall to the earth,
leaving the trees with nothing on their branches. Autumn is always
beautiful. The failing leaves are colorful. Cool air makes the season
the most popular time for picnics. As the last leaves fall to the earth,
the wind becomes colder. Finally everything is dull.

My Timmy
I have some pets. However, my favorite pet is Timmy. Timmy is a
male tabby cat. He is very adorable with his soft stripes fur. He has
innocent round eyes and feel his sweet voice. He always meows
when he feels hungry. Actually, his voice is not suitable with his
giant body. When I come home, he usually gives me a kiss. Timmy is
a nice playmate. I’m happy to spend my time with him. Most of the
time, he’s a good boy. It’s almost impossible for me to be angry at
him. In the morning, he always wakes up early. When he wakes up
earlier, he waits quietly by my bedside until I wake up.
