The Universe
We live in the galaxy which is called Milky Way. Our
planet is a big round blue ball…
We live on the Earth. It is very, very big. There is a lot
of water on the earth. It is in rivers, lakes, seas and oceans.
There are a lot of forests and fields, hills and mountains on it.
The earth is full of wonders. Different animals live on the
earth. Different plants grow on it. The Earth is beautiful.
There are large countries and small countries. There are
warm countries and cold countries…
Nature’s Beauty
There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn, winter. All seasons
are beautiful.
I like winter most of all. There are a lot of holidays in winter. The weather is
cold and frosty. It usually snows. Children like skating, skiing, and sledging down the
hills...
My favourite season is spring. There are three spring months. They are March,
April and May...
The best season for children is summer. They have a lot of fun and rest. They
usually visit their grandparents or travel to different countries...
Autumn is not a dull season. Forests are beautiful in autumn. The leaves are red,
yellow and orange. Autumn is a “tasty” season – there are a lot of vegetables and fruit
in autumn.
