Nick : It’s typical weather for spring: cloudy in the morning, sunny in the afternoon and rainy in the evening. As for me I don’t like spring.
Peter: And which season do you like best?
Nick : You see, it’s difficult to say. Every season is good in its own way. But I think I like summer best.
Peter: Yes, a lot of people are fond of summer. Why do you like it?
Nick : First of all I have my holidays in summer. Two or three months without lessons, without having to get up early in the morning – that’s really great! And besides, the weather keeps fine for many days at a time. There is much sunshine.
Peter: In my opinion, it’s boiling in summer, especially in July and August. I can’t stand when it is too hot. It’s hard to breathe and I’m simply melting.
Nick : As for me, I always leave the city for some nice place where I can go in for swimming and diving and where I can spend much time outdoors.
Peter: Oh, I see. But I like early autumn. The nature is so beautiful and quiet. The leaves turn yellow, brown and gold. It is neither cold nor very hot. I’m fond of walking about the forest and picking mushrooms and berries.
