The weather's getting cooler, and the trees are turning brown — it's autumn!
Is it autumn or fall The third season of a year has two names, autumn and fall. Both of them were born in Britain. What exactly you should call this season depends on(取决于) where you are in the world and whom you talk to. In Great Britain, it usually has only one name: autumn. But if you come to the US, you'll find that American people use both fall and autumn to refer to this time of a year.
Why do leaves turn yellow In autumn, leaves go from green to orange, red, yellow or brown. A chemical substance(化学物质) called chlorophyll(叶绿素) plays a role. Chlorophyll helps trees make sugar from sunlight. This feeds the tree and keeps the leaves green. But as autumn comes, the chlorophyll becomes less. The green colour goes away, and now we can see the other colours in the leaves.
What is the special food in autumn In autumn, apples are good for you and there is lots of other anti-inflammatory(抗炎的) food to try as well, such as cabbage, garlic, peas and all kinds of lettuce.
▲ Autumn is a perfect season, with a comfortable temperature for people to do some outdoor activities. Go hiking up the mountain or biking down the road in the countryside. Just give yourself a break to enjoy nature.
