Spring
It is almost spring. Please talk about your like or dislike of spring and some of the activities that you enjoy in the spring in your home country.
I don't like to wear a lot of closes in winter, neither. Many American already wear the short sleeves, but I am still cold to were spring closes. I cant wait spring season!! I hope getting warmer on this weekend!
yeap. I suffer sometimes for same reasons. If you ask me, the best way to get rid of this issue is to try to sleep on the roof. I guess, you can do it in your back home:)
In Japan, from end of March to early May, cherry blossoms bloom all over Japan. People go to parks to keep the best place to celebrate with friends, family, coworkers many hours before. It is also common to picnic under the cherry blossoms at night, and they eat dinner and drink alcohol. It is called "hanami". In addition, the cherry blossoming days come same time of beginning school, so I can feel starting the new life style.
To me, spring is a season which shows warming up to the summer. Also the days are joyful, and the nights become shorter. This leads to noticeable increase in temperature compare to winter.In addition to this, flowers starts to bloom, the buzz of the birds is heard better. That provides people being more animated. As you guess, It is possible to spend our time with friends outside instead of getting stuck in a covered place. Such as going on a picnic with family members or friends. This is highly popular activity especially in Turkey. Fathers take their families to a wilderness or somewhere nearby seaside.
Speaking of spring, in Japan, the time of year when cherry blossoms bloom. So, many people go out cherry blossom viewing. We eat delicious foods, drink alcohol and enjoy chatting while watching nice flowers. Some people bring lunch box which made my themselves. people do it with family, co-worker, a couple, friend and so on. The famous spots which a lot of beautiful blossoms bloom, for example temples in Kyoto, OsakaCastle and parks, are alive with people viewing the cherry blossoms at this time of the year. And many people do it as welcome party for new students. We can do it day and night and both are attractive. In night time, they are lighted up. It is really beautiful, so you should go to see the cherry blossoms if you come to Japan in Spring!
First, I like spring, and almost Korean people also welcome spring. Unlike the U.S., because the schools of Korea start on March. Korean people are very busy. People do a general house cleaning, and the street cleaner clean a street and cut the branches of trees. And, many flower festival are held such as 'Cherry Blossoms Festival', 'Japanese Apricot Festival' and 'Royal Azalea Festival'. So, many people travel to see a grand sight of flower. And 5th May is Children's Day in Korea, so children like so much spring.
I like spring very much. It is getting worm from before spring, and I can't wait because I don't like cold days. The good point of spring is not only too hot, but also too cold. In Japan people go out and look at beautiful cherry blossom and drink beer or something and talk with their friends or family.It is one of the traditional festival in Japan. What's more new semester starts in Spring, so it is kind of important for every students and fresh business man. I'm looking forward to see that how spring is like in Missoula Montana.http://image.search.yahoo.co.jp/search?ei=UTF-8&fr=top_ga1_sa&p=%E6%A1%9C%E4%B8%A6%E6%9C%A8
Spring is the most beautiful season. A lot of activities that I can do in this season like running, hung out with friends(it's not cold), go and swim in the river, hike the M, and barbecue. In this season the only thing that I don't like is sometimes it gets hot and I can't sleep some days because it's very warm. I like how the sky looks in the summer, and I can see the son not like the winter. In Saudi Arabia we miss the seasons because It's summer almost all the year, but here I can do a lot of things in the spring that I wrote above. The most beautiful thing in the spring that I don't have to wear a lot of things like the winter, so I will not care and worry about talking time when Im wearing my clothes. Also I don't like to wear shoes that mush, so in the spring I don't have to wear shoes. The last thing that I want to say hopefully guys you will enjoy all of the seasons and have fun here in Missoula and your life.
I like spring because I think spring is the most beautiful season.In spring,a lot of flowers bloom.Especially in Japan,a lot of cherry blossoms bloom from place to place.We Japanese call cherry blossoms "Sakura".Every Japanese loves them and they are looking forward to seeing Sakura in the end of winter.Cherry blossoms usually keep blooming for only a few weeks..Japanese people also like them because of their short lives.We regard the fragility of Sakura as beauty.
I really like spring season, and I enjoy doing many activities in its time. I like how the weather become warm and chilly in here, However, I dislike how the weather change a lot in Missoula even in spring break. Once it's sunny and shiny, a snow comes in! However, I like spring season, and I enjoy swimming in that season, because, in my opinion, it's the best season to for swimming. Simply because it's not too hot so the sun don't burn your skin, and it's not so cold so you could catch cold or something.
