My favourite season in England is winter. A typical English winter would last around 4 or 5
months between November and March, but when I say that I like the winter, I’m really thinking
about the coldest month or two each year.
During those really wintry months, the temperature drops below zero and it often snows. Over
the last few years we’ve had periods of quite heavy snowfall, to the extent that roads have been
blocked and schools have had to close. Last winter I remember looking out of the window one
morning and seeing everything covered in a layer of white. Obviously the snow is what
differentiates winter from the other seasons, but when it doesn’t snow there isn’t much difference
between winter, autumn and spring; winter is just a bit colder.
The reason I’ve chosen winter as my favourite season
is because I like the snow. I live near the
countryside, and the landscape looks beautiful when everything is covered in white. We also
celebrate Christmas and New Year in the winter, and these are my favourite festivals.
