Hi everyone! This week I want to share with you about my favorite season. As always, hope my writing helps you learn and read more Chinese! English translation and keywords with pinyin are provided below the Chinese writing.
1. 冬天 (dōngtiān) Winter
一直以来,冬天是我最喜欢的季节。我喜欢下雪后白色的世界,看起来像童话故事。
坐在家里,喝一杯热巧克力,看看窗外鹅毛般的大雪落下,真是太美了。
我的家乡是天津 (Tianjin)。天津是中国北方的一座城市,离北京很近。天津四季分明,夏天很热,冬天很冷。
以前在天津上学的时候,冬天下雪,我会和我的小伙伴一起堆雪人,打雪仗,可开心了。
现在我住在多伦多(Toronto),这里的冬天也很冷,经常下雪。
一直以来,冬天是我最喜欢的季节,让我想到我长大的地方。
Winter has always been my favorite season. I like the white world after snowfall, looking like a fairy tale.
It's so beautiful to sit at home, drink a cup of hot chocolate, and watch the goose-feathery snow fall outside the window.
My hometown is Tianjin. Tianjin is a city in northern China, very close to Beijing. Tianjin has four distinct seasons, hot in summer and cold in winter.
When I was in school in Tianjin, when it snowed in the winter, I would build snowmen and have snowball fights with my friends, which was really fun.
Now I live in Toronto, where the winters are also very cold and it often snows.
Winter has always been my favorite season and reminds me of where I grew up.

2. 夏天 (xiàtiān) Summer
夏天,是我最不喜欢的季节。
我不喜欢很热的天气,让我觉得很烦躁。
有时室内很热,需要开空调,但我不喜欢开空调。
空调的风吹得我头疼,所以即使夏天热我也很少开空调。
Summer is my least favorite season.
I don't like hot weather, making me feel irritated.
Sometimes the interior is hot and I need to turn on the air conditioner, but I don't like turning on the air conditioner.
The air from the air conditioner makes me feel headache, so I rarely turn on the air conditioner even in summer.

I actually do not know why.

4. 秋天 (qiūtiān) Autumn
秋天,我以前觉得秋天叶子掉落,天气变冷,让人伤感。
可最近,我越来越喜欢秋天。
上个周末,我和朋友去爬山。
一路上我们向上爬,看到了黄色和红色的秋叶,我拍了好多照片。
后来下山时,我们从马路边上往回走去停车场。
我看到了弯曲的马路和美丽的秋叶,我拍下了这张照片。
这个景色让我感受到自由和美丽。
现在我开始觉得秋天已经取代了冬天,成为了我最喜欢的季节。
For autumn, I used to think that the leaves falling off and the weather getting colder makes people sad.
But recently, I like autumn more and more.
Last weekend, my friends and I went hiking.
Along the way we climbed up and saw yellow and red autumn leaves, and I took a lot of photos.
Later, when we were going down the mountain, we walked back from the road to the parking lot.
I saw the curvy road and the beautiful autumn leaves and I took this photo.
This view makes me feel freedom and beauty.
Now I'm starting to feel like autumn has replaced winter as my favorite season.

我可能最喜欢春天,但我出于不同的原因喜欢所有季节。 然而,在苏格兰,冬天却非常黑暗!😄
