Describe your favourite season (sample)

Question: Describe your favourite season in your country. You should say:

·         when that season is

·         what the weather is like at that time of year

·         how that season is different from other seasons

·         and why it is your favourite season.

Answer: I love all the seasons but I think my favourite is Spring. As the UK is in the Northern hemisphere, Spring lasts from March to May. In early Spring, our weather can be anything from freezing cold to warm and sunny, but later in the season it gets consistently warmer.
