There are four seasons in China.   March, April and May make the spring.   June, July and August make the summer. September, October and November make the autumn. The rest(剩下的)of months make the winter.

The Australia's seasons are opposite(相反的). When it's spring in China, it is autumn in Australia.

Australia is in the south(南方)of the earth. June, July and August are the winter months. The summer is in December. January and February. It's very hot there, too.
