Many parts of the world have four seasons. They are spring, summer, autumn and winter. In spring, the weather becomes warmer and the days get longer. Plants begin to grow and many animals have babies. Summer is the hottest season. Plants grow fast. In autumn, the weather turns cool. Trees may lose their leaves. Some birds fly to warmer places. Winter is the coldest season. Plants stop growing and many trees are bare(光秃秃的).

    Today is Sunday. We don't go to school. So after breakfast I go to the park with some of my good friends. In the park, there are many people. They are doing exercise. Some women are dancing. Some people are playing badminton. Some girls are skipping, and some people are walking and running. Why do they work so hard? Because they want to be strong and healthy.

    In this winter vacation, I am going to prepare for a Peking Opera competition. Last year, my clock was broken. I was late and missed the competition. That was a great pity. I hope I can win the first prize this year.

    I am also going to Xiamen to visit my grandparents. Xiamen is in the south of China. I am going to give my photos of the competition to them. I think they will be very happy. I am looking forward to seeing them.
