My favourite season

There are four seasons in a year. I like spring best. When spring comes, the weather is getting warmer and warmer. The nights get shorter and the days get longer. The temperature is also suitable for outdoor activities. People change their winter clothes into light clothes. Trees turn green and some flowers bloom. In spring, I can also play games outdoors. I often go out to fly kites. Spring makes me feel active. What about you?
