Hey Gupta, what’s your favourite season?
"I love summer because the days are long and sunny!"
Nick, what’s your favourite season?
"I can’t pick! I like autumn and winter because I get to wear my favourite wellingtons and jump in puddles!"
All the seasons are different, but there are some similarities with them too - this means things that are the same.
For example, both spring and summer are warmer seasons.
Both autumn and winter have lots of rainfall.
Some differences (things that are not the same) are: only in winter do we get snow and only in autumn do the leaves fall off the trees.
