James and Jennifer
JAMES FROM CANADA
We have long, cold winters and short, hot
summers. In summer, I swim and play basketball,
but in winter, I ski and play ice hockey.
We have a summer house near a lake. I like
fishing there. My favorite season is spring. I
love the colors of the trees and flowers; green,
purple, orange, red, and yellow.
JENNIFER FROM SPAIN
People think it's always hot and sunny in
Spain, but January and February are often cold,
grey, and rainy. I don't like winter. I meet
friends in cafes and bars, and we chat.
Sometimes we go to a bar and listen to music. I
love Brazilian music.Then, when it's summer,
we go to the beach to swim and surf on weekends.
I love summer.
