Tina: So I've got to say I love all the seasons. Am I allowed to say that? I know that's a bit cheeky because you're meant to just say about one. But spring, I just love it when the sort of the flowers start coming out and all the buds in the trees and all the blossom. Summer, just a bit of warmth, a bit of sun on your face is just glorious. And swimming in the sea, can't beat it. Autumn, you cannot beat the colours in the trees, especially in the UK and Europe. They're just a delight. And then winter, I love it when it's sort of crispy in the morning, clear blue skies and you can see your breath coming out of your mouth, but you're all sort of cosy with lots of winter clothes on. So yeah, gotta say, love all the seasons that we have.
Kevan: My favourite season is winter. I love the snow and I love it when I get the chance to go up in the mountains and do some snowboarding.
Elena: My favourite season is spring because the weather is perfect for doing every activities outside such as having a walk in the park or also some trips. And the days are longer and the flowers are blooming, so that is why I really love this season.
Joanne: My favourite season has got to be summer. I really love warm, sunny weather, going to the beach and being on holiday.
Sally: I think all the seasons have, like, positive things about them, but for me I think that autumn is my favourite season, and the reason I'm saying that is because I was in Britain in the north of England recently in autumn, and it was amazing. I went for a walk in the woods and there were leaves, all the leaves had fallen off the trees and they were all different colours like red, orange, yellow, sort of golden-brown colours, and it was misty and it was drizzling, sort of that really fine rain, and it was fantastic. If you're wearing the right clothes, it doesn't matter if it's cold and raining. I love it.
Joanna: When I lived in Brazil, I lived in Fortaleza, and it's near the equator, so there were no seasons. And I had the most amazing year of sunshine. It was summer every day. But at the end of the year, I decided I actually quite missed the seasons. I do like the change of seasons. But I'd love to hear from some of our learners on LearnEnglish who live in countries where they don't have seasons. How's that?

I love autumn, it is nice season, I feel it is like sane persone, moderate in every thing, heat, cold, wind, it is peaceful season.
I live in São Paulo -Brazil, and my favourite season is Autumn, because the sky uses to be blue without clouds, the temperature is warm, and there´s no rain constantly. We wears hoodies with sunglasses! It´s a very nice days to take a walk on the parks. When I lived in Italy, my favourite season was Summer, because people loves to enjoy outside, and there may ways of to refresh, drinking an Aperol Spritz, or going to the beach on Sardegna.
Hello,
Since I love the sea, and swimming in the sea, my favorite season is summer.
By the seaside, the match between the clear blue sky and the deep blue sea is a wonderful sight.
I am also keen on spring, with blooming flowers and longer days, warm and sunny weather over cold seasons,
even if the downside is when it is too hot.
As Tina said: "swimming in the sea, can't beat it"
