SPRING TALK

Ann: Look out of the window, John. Spring has come at last!

John: Yes, it looks like spring, and it feels like spring! I don’t like to stay indoors.

Ann: Nobody does! Let’s go to the park. The snow has melted almost everywhere, and we can smell spring there much better!

John: Oh, you mean that first snowdrops have already appeared?

Ann: They sure have. But there is a cold wind today.

Let’s walk faster to keep warm.

John: Oh, it looks like rain! The weather changes so quickly in spring!

Ann: True, true. They say we can have four seasons a day in spring.

John: I know what you mean. It is windy and chilly in the morning, then it rains or even snows, and after that it is warm and sunny.

Ann: Never mind. March winds and April showers bring forth May flowers.

John: Off we go!

Remember!

You can count: a snowdrop – snowdrops

A wind – many winds

A season – four seasons

A day –

two days

They say we can have four seasons a day in spring. You can’t count: spring, rain, snow, weather. It looks like spring!

ON A SPRING WALK

Spring has come at last! It looks like spring. It feels like spring. Nobody likes to stay indoors. But the weather in spring can change very quickly, you know.

One day in April my friend John and I went to the park. It was our first spring walk. The snow melted almost everywhere, first snowdrops appeared, and we could smell spring there much better.

When we started, the weather was beautiful. The sun was shining, the sky was blue, and there were no clouds at all. Then came a strong wind and black clouds. We walked faster to keep warm. John said, “Look at the sky, Ann! It looks like rain.” Unfortunately, I didn’t have an umbrella with me. So when the April shower began, we got very wet and very cold, too. While we were running to the bus stop, we even felt some snowflakes on our noses. But when we got on the bus, it stopped raining. It was sunny again.

No wonder they say we can have four seasons a day in spring.

8. Answer the questions.

1. Why does nobody like to stay in the room in spring?

2. What does Ann tell us about the weather in spring?

3. The children had an umbrella with them, didn’t they?

4. Did they get wet or cold?

5. How many seasons did they have on that day?

10. Write about nature in spring for your class weather report. Use:

What does it look like?

What does it feel like?

What does it smell like?

Do it yourself! Trace and colour a memo for a spring day:

– how to keep warm;

– how not to get wet.
