At the weekend, I always invite my friends to do someoutdoor activities. Sometimes we fly kites in the park when itis windy. We shout loudly and feel very excited. Moreover, wecan go on a school trip to a hill on sunny days. That’s the bestpart of spring.
So, I think spring is great!
That’s all. Thanks for listening

Seasons in the sun
Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.
we‘ve known each other since we were nine or ten.
together we’ve climbed hills and trees.
learned of love and ABCs.
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.
Goodbye my friend, it‘s hard to die.
when all the birds are singing in the sky.
now the spring is in the air.
pretty girls are everywhere.
think of me and i'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun.
we had seasons in the sun.
but the hills that we climb.
were just seasons out of time.
