i  was born in Northern Vietnam, where there are four clear seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Each season has its own charms and attractions. For example, Spring is the season which offers beautiful flowers and warm weather; of outdoor activities such as picniking, camping, swimming, fishing ect… Autumn is so beautiful with its ideal weather while Winter can give us such delight as gathering by a fire to chat or tell each other funny stories. As far as I am concerned, I like Autumn best because of the following reasons.

     During Autumn, which lasts more or less from late July to early October, it is sunny most of the time. The Autumn sun is often splendid, dying nature yellow. The weather is also ideal because it is not too cold nor too hot. Then the coldish northwesterly wind, which blows gently, thrills everyone with the breath of Autumn. The leaves of the trees turning yellow or red put a gorgeous coat of colours on nature. Autumn is such a wonderful season that many poems an songs have been composed to sing the praises of the season. Autumn is also a season which reminds me of my first day at school, when my mother took me by the hand and led me to school for the first time.

     Last but not least, Autumn is the time when I can enjoy my favourite fruit and dish which are the Japanese persimmons and the green rice flakes. These are found only in Autumn.

To me, autumn is the most beautiful season. 

The climate is cool and dry but still sunny. Autumn begins from early October annually. In the autumn, people need to wear a light cardigan or overcoat when going out. The autumn scene is truly peaceful and romantic. You can see the many red and yellow leaf trees along the streets, the sky is bluer, and the water in many lakes is greener. It is a good time to enjoy the mid-autumn festival, one of the big festivals each year in Vietnam celebrated on the lunar August, 15th. I love autumn in Hanoi. It has milk flowers with a special smell, daisy, along with Cốm – a specialty of Hanoi in this season.

Autumn often appears a lot in poetry due to the beauty and pleasant feeling it brings to everyone. Do you like autumn?
