There are four seasons in a year in the city. 

Spring is from March to May. The weather is sunny and warm. The temperature is from 5 to 18 {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Everything begins to grow. It's a good time to go on a field trip. 

Summer is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the hottest but wettest. In the southeast, there are many showers. And sometimes, in the morning the sun shines, but in the afternoon, it might {#blank#}3{#/blank#} cloudy and rainy. There are storms sometimes. So, people often take an umbrella. But in the northwest, it's dry and hot. 

Autumn comes in September. Best of all, the weather is not too cold or too hot. It's the best time to travel.

I like winter best compared to the other seasons. I'm not {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. I like it because it's snowy. I can make a snowman,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} and ski. It's also pleasant(令人愉快的) for me to take photos of snow with my new phone. 

I've collected stamps for five years. Five years ago, my grandpa took me to a post office. He was going to send a letter to his old friend. We arrived. 1  , so there weren't many people. He wrote down his and his friend's information with the help of the postman ( 邮递员). Suddenly, I saw something colourful. There 2  a display case(展示柜) with many stamps in it. Each of them looked 3  . It was my first time to see so many beautiful stamps. The kind postman showed 4  those stamps. I was excited 5  them. There were many patterns(图案), like some famous people and valuable animals in China. From then on, J began to collect stamps. I put my stamps on the shelf and often 6  . I really enjoy looking for different kinds of stamps, and I'll keep on doing this. 

My pen friend is Allison. She is a lovely Australian girl {#blank#}1{#/blank#}big blue eyes. Like me, Allison loves singing and dancing, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}we both like travelling to different places for our holidays. 

Do you want to know {#blank#}3{#/blank#}our friendship started? By travelling! Three years ago, I paid a visit to my {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (uncle)home in Sydney. One Saturday my cousin and I went to the Blue Mountains Scenic World and I met Allison on the bus. She was siting just next to me. At first, we were both a bit shy. We sat {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(silent) all the way until we got near the foot of mountains. I was surprised by the amazing views and opened the window {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(take)photos. That's when Allison turned to {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(I) and said, "It's beautiful, isn't it?" Then she began to explain why the mountains looked blue.

For the rest of the day, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}three of us travelled together. We saw many koalas and were happy to see that they {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(protect) well in the forest. What a great experience! Back home, I started writing to Allison and since then we {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(be)friends.
