The Season I Like The Most

 

The Season I Like The Most

Winte is the season I like the most. pakistan has six seasons. Pakistani summer is very hot and uncomfortable. Many people die of sunstroke. The rainy season is muddy and sultry. The spring season is pleasant but short-lasting. Winter seasons starts in Pakistan by the end of NOvember and lasts till the end of February. As the autumn season ends, the weather turns pleasant in winter. The days are short and nights long. People work hard during the day and enjoy good rest at night. For me, it is the best time for studies. During the winter seasons, I devote maximum time to my studies. Pakistani winters are pleasant, comfortable and enjoyable. I improve my health during these days. I feel myself strong, energetic and very active. I enjoy morning and evening walks. I enjoy wearing colourful woollen cloths. It is a wonderful time and we go for picnics. During winter, many migratory birds come to Pakistan from far-off lands. It is the best season to visit hill-stations and enjoy snowfall. Last winter, I visited Skardu with my family. It is a paradise for winter lovers. I always look forward to winter and its many joys and comforts.
