WHAT IS WINTER?

Hi, Wendy,

I am writing to answer your question, “What is winter?” You ask me about it because it is never cold in India, where you live.

1 India – Індія, країна Південно-Східної Азії

So I am going to tell you about my favourite season. It is winter when everything is white with snow: the trees, the houses, the fields and the gardens. I’m a winter person, as my mum says. I like frost and snow, a lot of snow, when the snow is so snowy, if you know what I mean. It is just the day for playing snowballs. On a day like that, we can make the snow speak under our feet – “Crickle, crackle, crickle, crrreeet, crrreeet, crrreeet!” It sounds like fun, doesn’t it?

Regards,

Paul

Hi, it’s me again

We have already had a snowstorm, sleet and rain this winter. It was all right with me. I just put on my winter coat and warm boots. But today my friend Oksana has heard thunder! At first I didn’t believe her as winter’s thunder is the world’s wonder, you know. Then I listened to the weather report and they said it was true. I couldn’t believe my ears!

Please, come to visit me in the wintertime. You won’t regret it!

Yours,

Paul
