한국은 4계절이 있어요. 봄 여름 가을 겨울이 있어요,

여름은 엄청 덥고 겨울은 엄청 추워요. 여름에는 비가 내리고 겨울에는 눈이 내려요.

한국 여름은 정말 덥고 습해요. 하지만 에어컨이 어디에나 있어요.

버스, 지하철 등 모든 곳에 에어컨이 있어요. 그래서 가게 안에서는 추울 때도 있어요.

저는 추위를 많이 타서 여름에도 항상 담요를 들고 다녀요. 8월에는 비도 많이 내려요.

태풍이 올 때도 있어요. 한국 사람들은 항상 우산을 들고 다녀요.

우리는 비가 오면 바로 우산을 써요. 봄과 가을은 날씨가 딱 좋아요.

너무 덥지도 않고 춥지도 않아요. 봄에는 꽃이 많이 펴요.

특히 한국의 벚꽃은 정말 예뻐요. 가을은 내가 제일 좋아하는 계절이에요.

많은 한국 사람들은 가을에 등산해요. 가을의 한국의 산들은 정말 예뻐요.

가을은 화창하고 하늘이 예뻐요. 11월부터 많이 추워져요.

겨울은 정말 너무 추워요. 눈이 많이 내리고 바람도 많이 불어요.

기온이 영하 10도까지 내려가요. 겨울에는 집에서 잘 안 나가요.

최대한 집에서 시간을 보내려 해요. 하지만 겨울에는 스키를 탈 수 있어서 좋아요.

여러분은 무슨 계절을 가장 좋아해요?

There are four seasons in Korea. There are spring, summer, fall, winter.

Summer is very hot and winter is very cold. It rains in summer and snows in winter.

Summer in Korea is really hot and humid. But air conditioners are everywhere.

There are air conditioners everywhere, including buses and subways. So, inside the store, there are also times when it’s cold (So sometimes it’s cold in the store.)

I always carry a blanket even in summer because I get cold easily. It rains a lot in August, too.

There are times when typhoons come. Koreans always carry umbrellas.

When it rains, we immediately use an umbrella. The weather is perfect in spring and fall.

It’s neither too hot nor too cold. Many flowers bloom in spring.

Especially, cherry blossoms in Korea are very pretty. Fall is my favorite season.

Many Koreans go hiking in the fall. The mountains in Korea in fall are really pretty.

Fall is sunny and the sky is pretty. It’s getting colder from November.

Winter is really very cold. It’s snowing a lot and windy.

The temperature drops to minus 10 degrees. I don’t go out much in the winter.

I try to spend as much time as I can at home. But it’s good to be able to ski in the winter.

What’s your favorite season?
