Look at the pictures below. Do you know which city it is
Do you know the weather in it
THINK ABOUT IT
·Would you like to live in a place where there are no
winters
·What do you enjoy most about spring
When we think of spring, we think of a season of fine, warm weather and clear, fresh air. We think of new life, green plants and budding trees all around us.
Everyone longs for spring. Spring is a short season in many places around the world. But in my hometown, it feels like spring nearly all year round.
The weather here is neither too hot nor too cold. The average winter temperature is 15℃. In summer it never gets too hot. The average temperature is 24℃. The city gets about 1 000 millimetres of rain every year. There’s plenty of sunshine too, with about 2 250 hours of sunshine every year. Because of the spring-like weather, you can find
hundreds of beautiful flowers and trees anytime of the year.
Can you guess my hometown？Yes, it’s Kunming—
“the Spring City”．
