The Four Seasons
Most countries in the Asian region have two seasons, the same as in Laos.
However, in Australia there are four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and
winter. Each season lasts three months. Spring starts in September and ends at
the end of November. Summer starts in early December and ends in late
February. From March to May is autumn, and the winter months are June,
July and August.
In spring the flowers are beautiful and there are new leaves on the trees. It’s
quite warm but it rains sometimes and the wind often blows. In summer the
weather is hot. It rarely rains and the sun shines every day. A lot of people go
to the beach to swim. In autumn the leaves start to fall from the trees and the
wind is very strong. It’s usually cloudy and sometimes it rains a lot.
Sometimes it’s foggy, too. Winter is cold, wet and windy. There are no leaves
on the trees and the sun doesn’t shine very often. The days are quite short,
too. Winter is the season of warm clothes and raincoats.

Last Saturday Keopha and her brother, Phoukeo, went to the zoo to see
the animals. They went there on the bus. They bought some food at the zoo to
give to the animals. First, they went to see the monkeys because Phoukeo likes
them. He likes to watch them climb up and down the trees. The monkeys are
very naughty. A small monkey took the woman’s bag and put it at the top of
the tree. Phoukeo gave the monkeys some bananas. Next, they went to see the
emus and kangaroos. There were two lions in a big cage and behind them there
were two tigers in another cage.

Keopha felt afraid of the tiger when she saw their big teeth, so she did
not give them any food. Then Keopha had a ride on an elephant. Phoukeo took
