Question. Seasons - Look at the above pictures and discuss the differences among summer, winter, spring and monsoon seasons.
Answer:
Here are the main features of each of the four seasons:
* Summer: It is very hot and sunny. We enjoy swimming in cool water, eating cold ice cream, and playing outdoors during the long days.
* Winter: It is very cold. In many places, we can see snow and build snowmen. We wear warm woollen clothes like jackets, gloves, and caps to stay cozy.
* Spring: It is a beautiful season when the cold winter ends. Colorful flowers bloom everywhere, trees get new green leaves, and the weather becomes very pleasant.
* Monsoon (Rainy Season): It rains heavily during this time. We see water puddles on the ground and carry umbrellas or raincoats to stay dry. Plants grow very fast because of the rain.
In simple words: Summer is hot, winter is cold, spring is colorful with flowers, and monsoon brings lots of rain.

Exam Tip: Each season has special clothes we wear (like raincoats in monsoon or jackets in winter) to protect ourselves.

Answer:
By matching the season names to their corresponding pictures:
* Summer: Matches the quadrant with the bright Sun, cold ice cream, beach ball, and water bottle.
* Monsoon: Matches the quadrant with rain clouds, a jumping frog, mushrooms, an umbrella, and a paper boat.
* Winter: Matches the quadrant with a warm woolen cap, hot tea, and cozy mittens.
* Spring: Matches the quadrant with beautiful flowers, a flying butterfly, cherries, and a honeybee.
