I love winter
Winter is my favorite season. It is very cold and everyone has to wear thick warm clothes, but I always enjoy the winter here in Harbin.
The temperature is usually below zero and it is often snowy. Everything is covered in deep white snow, and the lakes and rivers are frozen. During this season, you cannot see beautiful flowers or green trees, but the land is quiet and beautiful.
My friends and I love playing outside in winter. It is exciting to have big snowball fights. We throw snowballs at each other, screaming and laughing. We also make snowmen and use carrots for their noses. They look funny. Moreover, I enjoy the Ice Festival each year. There are beautiful ice lanterns everywhere. It is really wonderful.
Winter is great.
