讲座文本
Hello, everyone. Have you ever wondered what the weather is like in other places around the world? Today, (20) I'd like to talk to you about the changing seasons in my city which was the assigned topic for this class.
First of all, the winter season usually begins in December and ends in early March. The coldest month is January, and temperatures can drop below freezing for most of this month. The city usually averages about 30 inches of snow during this entire, 3-month period. Occasionally, we have snow storms that can drop a foot of snow in a very short period of time. Winter activities during this season include sledding, skiing, and snowshoeing.
Spring usually arrives in late March, and (21) the temperatures hover around 10 degrees during the day. It is a beautiful season because the flowers start to bloom. It is also sometimes windy, and this is great for flying kites. People in my city often like to go on picnics, stroll through the parks, and play outdoor games.
Next, summer starts in June, as temperatures slowly rise to around 29 degrees. The summer in my city is very dry with little rain throughout the season, and temperatures can soar above 40 degrees in August. Fortunately, the weather is very dry with low humidity, so it is pleasant even on hot days. (22) Popular activities during this season include hiking, fishing, camping, water skiing, and outdoor sports such as football and soccer.
And finally, summer changes to fall in late September when the weather cools off, and the trees begin to change colors. A lot of people enjoy driving into the mountains and viewing the fall colors. It is also a time when people clean up their yards and gardens in preparation for the winter season.
So, as you can see, my city has a lot to offer no matter when you visit this area.
20. What's the topic of the talk?
21. What are the temperatures during spring in the speaker's city?
22. What do people usually do in summer in the speaker's city?
大家好。你有没有想过在世界上其他地方的天气如何？今天我想说一说我所居住的城市的季节变化，这是我们这节课的指定话题。
首先，冬季通常从12月开始3月初结束。1月是最冷的月份，这个月里温度大部分时间会降到冰点以下。在冬季的这三个月里，我们城市地面通常会覆盖平均大约30英寸厚的积雪。偶尔遇到暴风雪的天气，积雪可能在很短的时间内就达到一英尺厚。冬季活动项目包括玩雪橇、滑雪和穿着雪鞋雪中漫步。
春天通常在三月末开始，白天的温度大概停留在10摄氏度以上。这是一个美丽的季节，因为这时花开始开放。春天有时候会多风，适合放风筝。城市中的人们通常喜欢在这时去野餐、到公园散步或者到户外玩耍。
接下来是夏天，从六月份开始，温度逐渐上升到29摄氏度左右。我们城市的夏天通常有些干燥少雨，八月份温度会猛涨至40摄氏度以上。幸运的是，天气比较干爽，湿度较低，所以即使天气很热也较宜人。这个季节流行的活动包括远足、垂钓、野营、划水以及户外体育运动比如足球和橄榄球。
最后，9月末夏天转为秋天，天气凉爽起来，树木颜色开始发生变化。很多人喜欢开车到山区去欣赏秋色。人们也在这是开始清理庭院和花园准备过冬。
所以，正如你所见，无论你何时来参观我们的城市这里都能提供很多乐趣。
