41.Describe your favourite season or time of the year.
You should say:
+ what season (or time of the year) it is
+ what the weather is like at this time
+ what people usually do at this time
And explain why you enjoy that season or time of the year.
Well, I’m living in Hanoi and you know, the weather patterns [‘pæt(ə)n] are quite different between the North
and the South of Vietnam. There are four distinct seasons in Hanoi and the one that I like the most is autumn.
Autumn in Hanoi usually lasts for about 3 months, starting in September and ending in November. It seems to be the most comfortable season in the whole year. The weather during the fall is normally cool with some sunny spells. The temperature tends to fluctuate from 20 to 25 degree celsius. Occasionally, there are light rains in the evening but they are often just short showers. With the cool breezes [bri:z], it is ideal for people to get together outside and hang out with their friends. Also, this time of the year marks the beginning of a new school year for students around Vietnam.
In contrast, the summer is boiling, so it is torturing to have to go out in the streets under the hot sun. Likewise, the winter is freezing and in a typical spring there are usually heavy rains. So, these are really unattractive features of the other seasons. However, the fresh weather during the autumn really makes me feel relaxed and energizes [‘enədʒaiz] me to do a lot of things. That is the major reason why I prefer the fall and why it has always been my favorite time of the year.
