Text 2. Our School Year
We start school at the beginning of September. It's autumn but it's sometimes very
sunny. At the end of autumn it's usually cold and windy. It's sometimes stormy and
it's often cloudy and rainy, too. There's a special day in autumn – November 5th –
Guy Fawkes' Day. On this day we make a Guy – a man – from newspapers and
clothes. Then we burn him on a bonfire and watch fireworks.
Winter is a good season! I play football for the school team. There's a match every
Saturday and our team usually wins. It's always cold in winter and it's sometimes
snowy, too. We can't play football then.
I like spring. It's sometimes rainy but it's usually sunny – and we have a good time at
school! We always go on school trips in spring. We visit interesting places – castles
and take sandwiches for lunch.
Summer is my favourite season. It's usually sunny and hot. We always have Sports
Day in June. Vicki's a great runner and she usually wins the class race. The school year
ends in the middle of July and then summer holidays start!
