Spring is the start of a year. As an proverb says“ the whole year’s work depends on a good start in spring.” I like spring best.
In spring, the weather gets warmer and everything begins to grow. The grass starts to burgeon and flowers blossom. Some birds flies back from the South to build their new houses, and hibernation animals also wake up to enjoy the new year. It is time to start, plant and seed. It’s also the best time for us to tour. It’s a rainy season as well. My friend says the spring rain drops little by little onto the umbrellas, sounding like a song from the horn.
Spring symbolizes hope, full of vigor and vitality, which makes people feel warm and powerful.

(I don’t like winter because it’s too cold so I like spring the best because it’s not too hot and not too cold. I hate wearing heavy, winter clothes so I am excited when spring is here and I can wear normal clothes.)
