News reporter: Here is the weather.

Weather reporter: Welcome to the weather forecast. Now, let's see what the weather is like today. In the north of the country it's very windy and cold. There is a chance of some rain too, so don't leave home without your umbrella! The temperature is around 10º centigrade. In the east it's rainy all day today, I'm afraid. There may be a thunderstorm in the afternoon. The temperature is a bit higher, at around 13º. In the west and middle of the country the weather is dry, but cloudy. So no rain for you, but it is quite windy and the temperature is just 10º. The south of the country has the best weather today. It's cloudy most of the time but sunny this afternoon. The temperature is around 15º.

Hi! My name is Zlata, I'm from Lithuania.

Today in Lithuania it's rainy and cloudy. It's about 17 degrees.

In Lithuania, springs are sunny, but sometimes windy. In spring, it's usually about 19 degrees. In summer, it's hot and sunny, sometimes cloudy, with temperatures around 29 degrees. In autumn, it's windy, stormy, foggy, and cloudy, with temperatures around 15 degrees. In winter, it's cold, snowy, and cloudy, but sometimes sunny, with temperatures around -10 degrees.

In winter, I like to eat potatoes or soup; in spring, pasta with meat; in summer, shashlik or salad; and in autumn, potatoes or soup. Lithuania is a good place to visit in spring when there are lots of beautiful flowers.

In my city, there’re only two seasons: the rainy and the dry. The rainy season lasts from April to November. It’s hot and humid. There are many tropical fruits at that time and the rains are heavy but so quick. On the contrary, the dry season starts in December and ends in March, it has no rain, very hot and dry.

South Korea has the 4 seasons, and I like fall the most. I have the alergic to the flowers and plants, so my allergic coryza always become worse and worse. Summer is hot, and I feel bad and annoying when it becomes a monsoon, especially like these days. In here, it was rainy all day even today. Cloudy, rainy, hot, and even damp. Winter is too cold, too. But in Fall, the autumn breeze and some beautiful red and yellow leaves make me feel hopeful. I think this is intended that I'm a boy, but autumn is the best season to read books and novels. I can concentrate in one thing in fall, and the cool wind is very pleased. I love fall, and I want the fall to come more faster. I wish September comes more earlier and faster. I hate summer the most, and this is summer!!!!!!
