纯正英语一分钟-Autumn

Autumn is such¹ a cool time of the year. Of course² it is cool because the temperatures³ drop after summer. But it is also cool because it’s such a great time of the year. I love the changing of the leaves⁴. The different autumn colours are one of nature’s most beautiful scenes⁵. Sometimes I can’t stop looking at the mountains near my house. They are like an artist’s palette of golds, reds, yellows, browns and other autumnal colours. In America they call autumn ‘fall’ because that is when the leaves fall from the trees. I like the coolness of autumn. Summer is over but you can still wear a T-shirt – just about. You can also spend hours outdoors⁶ without sweating⁷. Autumn is the best time of the year to go hiking⁸ and go for long walks.
