Spring is a beatiful season. Even though there are four seasons a year, I prefer spring time. And, whenever I'm asked what my favourite season is, I instantly answer: "Spring". It's not only because my birthday is in spring, but also because it's the most precious season for me. I think that nothing can be more beautiful than awakening of nature after long winter sleep. That's exactly what happens during this time of the year. First month is still a bit cold. In my region it snows and rains a lot in March. However, gradually we see the first spring flowers appearing on the surface, among them snowdrops, lily of the valley, daffodils, violets. The grass becomes greener and the nights become shorter. March is also marked by the celebration of the International Women’s Day. On this day women don’t do any housework, they simply relax and enjoy the holiday. Their husbands, sons, fathers and brothers give them nice presents and do everything for them. April is a warm month. Although, it often rains, the weather is not cold anymore. On the first day of April we have the Fools’ Day. It’s a funny holiday, when your friends can play different tricks on you or tell jokes. Easter also falls on April. It’s one of my favorite holidays. I associate this day with tasty cakes and colorful eggs. May starts with the Labor Day or May Day. It’s an international workers’ day in many countries. On this day people hold ceremonial parades. The 9th of May is another remarkable day. It’s a Victory Day, which is celebrated to commemorate the Second World War victims and veterans. The weather in May is fantastic. Although, it sometimes rains, most of the time it is warm and sunny. Весна – это красивое время года. Даже если в году четыре сезона, я предпочитаю сезон весны. И всякий раз, когда меня спрашивают, какое мое любимое время года, я сразу отвечаю: "Весна". Не только потому, что мой день рождения приходится на весну, но и потому, что это самый замечательный сезон на мой взгляд. Я думаю, что ничто не может быть прекраснее, чем пробуждение природы после долгой зимней спячки. Именно так и происходит в это время года. Первый месяц еще немного холодноват. В моем регионе в марте часто идет снег и дождь. Тем не менее, постепенно на поверхности появляются первые весенние цветы, включая подснежники, ландыши, нарциссы, фиалки. Трава становится зеленее, а ночи становятся короче. На март также выпадает празднование Международного женского дня. В этот день женщины не делают никакой работы по дому, они просто расслабляются и наслаждаются праздником. Мужья, сыновья, отцы и братья готовят для них красивые подарки и делают все за них. Апрель теплый месяц. Хотя часто идет дождь, погода больше не холодная. В первый день апреля у нас празднуют День дурака. Это веселый праздник, когда друзья могут подшутить над вами, или просто рассказать анекдот. Пасха также приходится на апрель. Это один из моих самых любимых праздников. Я связываю этот день с вкусной выпечкой и красочными яйцами. Май начинается со Дня труда или Первомая. Это международный день рабочих во многих странах. В этот день люди устраивают парадные шествия. 9-ое мая – это еще один знаменательный день. Это День Победы, который отмечается в память о жертвах и ветеранах Второй мировой войны. Погода в мае замечательная. Несмотря на то, что иногда идет дождь, большую часть времени тепло и солнечно.
