How to Talk about the Seasons in English

By David Buckley

Seasons of the year, they are changing, they

are changing…
You might have to talk about what seasons you like in
the year.
You might have to do this in the IELTS test or another
kind of test. Or the subject might come up in
conversation with a colleague or friend.
Talking about the seasons in English is a very common
subject that people talk about in small talk.
Say, for example, you are talking to someone from
another country. Maybe it is summer and so you talk
about the weather. You could then go on to talk about
the season of summer in your country and compare that
to the person you are talking to.
There is a lot to talk about when talking about the
seasons.
From the weather and climate of that season to the food
and the kind of activities that people like to do at this
time.
I have outlined in this guide, all the things you can say
about every season.
Whatever season you like, you can find plenty of things
to talk about here.
Let’s begin!
 

Questions to Ask
 

It’s a good idea to look at some of the questions we

might be asked when talking about any particular
season.
Here are some that we can use.
 What is your favourite season?

 What is the weather like in this season?

 What can you see in this season?

 What can people do in this season?

 What do you like to do in this season?

 What clothes should you wear in this

season?
 What clothes should you not wear in this

season?
 What food do people eat in this season?

 Are there any special festivals or days in this

season?
 
No matter what season you want to talk about, you
should ask yourself the questions above. This can help
you come up with lots of answers and then give you
plenty to talk about.
You can do this as an exercise right now.
Go through all the questions and answer them
about your favourite season.
 

Did this help you?

Were you able to come up with many answers?
 

What are the Seasons?

 

Just to clarify — let’s make sure we know what all the

seasons are.
For the sake of this guide, I will talk mostly about the
seasons in England, as I am English myself.
But of course, you should talk about the seasons in your
own country or where you live.
There are four seasons of the year.
These are Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
 

Generally speaking, the seasons in England can be

divided like this:
 

Spring — March to May

Summer — June to August
Autumn — September to November
Winter — December to February
 
In England, winter is cold, summer is warm and
sometimes hot.
In spring, there is a lot of rain and in autumn it rapidly
starts to get cold.
But of course, each country and place have their own
defined seasons. You need to think carefully about what
these are and speak about these seasons accordingly.
 

In the following next parts, I talk about the weather,

food, activities and clothes people wear for each season
in England.
I then give an example of people talking about each of
these parts. You can use these as a model to help you
talk about your own things for each season.
Let’s look at the seasons in detail.
 

Spring
 

In England, spring is a season of great change.

We have a saying: In like a lion and out like a
lamb. It means that the season starts with very cold and
harsh weather, then there is a lot of rain and by the end
of spring the weather is getting warm and the skies are
often blue.
Spring in England is from March to May.
 

The Weather in Spring

 

Spring in England can be pretty cold — temperatures as

low as 5° — but can be as high as 15°.
But there can be a lot of rain in the spring in England.
 

What I like about spring is that the climate is

not too hot or too cold. I can wear clothes I like
to wear — a sweater or jacket and know that it
is enough to keep me warm. But I know I won’t
be too hot either.
The only thing I don’t like about spring is the
rain. It seems to rain every day from March to
May. It drives me crazy!
 

Things to See in the Spring

 

Spring is a time of great change. We can see leaves grow

on trees, flowers bloom and young lambs jumping in the
countryside.
Spring always makes me feel optimistic and
happy. After we come out of the winter and the
endless dark days, it is great to see leaves
growing on the trees and flowers growing in
the garden.
I live near the countryside and if I drive past
fields I can see young lambs jumping and
playing. Also young calves and fowls.
Even the look on people’s faces — people seem
to smile more and as the sun comes out it fills
the streets with light.
 

Things to Do in the Spring

 

As the weather gets better and trees and flowers start to

bloom, it is a good time to go to the local park. Or take a
trip to the countryside and see all the greenery.
It might also be a good time to eat al fresco.
In the spring, I really love to go to the park and
walk around to see all the flowers growing and
trees coming to life.
There are a lot of squirrels coming out of
hibernation too. I often see them scurrying
around hunting for things to eat.
There are a lot of people in the park in the
spring. At lunchtime, people go to the park for
lunch as the weather might be a lot warmer.
Unless it’s raining of course — which could be
most days in the spring.
But for me, it’s just nice to start going outside
again and seeing nature coming to life.
Towards the end of spring, I like to drink coffee
in my favourite cafe. They put tables and
chairs outside. It’s nice to sit in the sun and
read a book while watching the world go by.
 
Clothes to Wear in the Spring
 

When spring begins, the weather can often be cold. But

by the end, it has become warmer.
As a result of this, people may have to wear clothes that
range from sweaters to thick jackets.
They may not need to wear gloves, hats or scarves. And
it doesn’t get warm enough to only wear a t-shirt and
shorts.
It is quite a temperate time where people can wear
clothes and not feel uncomfortable — they will never
really feel too cold or too hot.
I like to wear long-sleeve shirts and suits to
work, so I really love the spring for this.
I can wear a nice suit and not feel too hot. In
the summer, it gets too hot and sticky and I
start to feel uncomfortable.
And the spring never feels too cold. So I don’t
have to put on a thick coat or wear a hat or
scarf.
I like to look smart when I am going to the
office and spring seems like the best season for
wearing a suit.
Even at the weekend, I don’t feel I have to wrap
up. I can still wear all my favourite long-
sleeved shirts when I go out to meet my friends.
No wonder they have fashion shows in the
spring — it’s the best time for wearing really
nice clothes!
 

Food to Eat in the Spring

 
In the spring, a lot of green vegetables and other
vegetables are available to eat.
Strawberries might be ready to eat in late spring.
But because of the change of weather, people might feel
inclined to eat more salad and lighter dishes.
In the spring, farms start to harvest a lot of
green vegetables. My family often go to a
market in the spring to buy lots of fresh
vegetables that are available at this time.
We like to make a salad or some vegetable soup
with these vegetables.
Spring just seems like a time to eat healthily. In
the winter we might eat a lot more bread and
fatty foods to keep us warm. But now that
spring has arrived it’s time to think of our
health and eat fresh vegetables.
 

Special Days in Spring

 

There are a few Bank Holidays in the spring in England.

These are special days when people do not need to go to
work. Schools are closed too and children can have the
day off from studying.
In spring, there are also some religious holidays such as
Easter.
I like spring, because we have quite a few bank
holidays at this time.
It seems like every few weeks there is another
day off from work.
It’s a great opportunity to go outside and enjoy
the spring air. We usually avoid beaches and
popular places — they get too crowded and it’s
just too uncomfortable.
So might just go to the countryside and go for a
walk. Last time we did that we ended up in this
nice country pub and had lunch there.
 

Take a look at all the examples of things to say in each

section above.
Of course, these are all written with England in
mind.
You need to think about what the weather is like in
spring in your country. Think about what kind of food
people eat and the activities they like to do.
Write your ideas down. This will help you form
things to say.
 

Questions about Spring

 

Look at the following questions about spring. Try to

answer all of them. This should help you form ideas of
what to talk about if you want to talk about spring.
 
  When is spring in your country?
 Are there any special festivals during the
spring? What are they? What do people do?
What food do people eat at this time?
 What events take place in spring in your
country?
 Does spring make you feel optimistic about
the rest of the year? Why?
 How do you feel when spring arrives?
 What clothes do people wear in spring in
your country?
 Think of a favourite memory you have of
spring. What happened? What did you do?
 What kind of outdoor activities can people
do in your country in spring?
 What images come to your mind when you
hear the word spring?
 What things do you love about spring?
 What things do you dislike about spring?
 What words would you use to describe
spring in your country?
 

Summer
 
In the summer in England, people take advantage of any
days where the weather is hot and sunny.
Most of the rest of the year, the weather in England can
be grey or cold and miserable.
But in the summer, we might have hot days where the
sun is out and the sky is blue.
However, the summer in England is still known for rainy
weather and storms.
Summer in England is from June to end of August.
 

The Weather in Summer

 

It never gets really hot in summer in England.

If it goes above 30° then that is very rare. Usually, the
temperature doesn’t go much above the early 20s.
So during the times when we do have nice weather,
people take full advantage of it.
I like the summer.
I like to wear t-shirts and shorts in the summer
and I would feel comfortable wearing these
kinds of clothes all year round if I could.
The only problem we have is that the weather
in England is so unpredictable. It can be quite
hot one day — up to 30° — then the next day the
temperature drops and it’s raining again.
But if the weather is nice, then I am outside and
taking full advantage of it. I like to go to the
beach with my friends and go to the sea.
It just feels great!
 

Things to See in the Summer

 
In the summer, English people can be seen outside.
The parks are full of children — as the schools are closed
for the summer. And people are often sitting outside in
front of restaurants to take advantage of the nice
weather.
Pub gardens are always full in the summer in England.
People like to sit outside and enjoy a nice drink with
their friends or family.
Also, the days are very long in the summer so people
enjoy the long days outside.
In the summer, I like to go to my local pub and
sit in their garden with my girlfriend.
It is just so relaxing.
We can sit there until late in the evening. The
sun doesn’t go down until after nine pm.
We leave and it just seems like it’s still very
early in the day.
I wish we could have summer for much longer.
 

Things to Do in the Summer

 

As the weather is much better, English people might go

to the beach or to some outside area.
Or they might play sport together — cricket and football
are very popular.
One type of event that is hugely popular in England is
music festivals.
In England, in the summer, there is a very big choice of
music festivals to go to. For young people, music
festivals are very popular.
I love the summer.
I get a very long holiday from university — so
that is great. And because the weather is so
good, I end up doing practically nothing for
two months. Just lazing about on the beach
near where I live all day. In the evening, we
might have a party on the beach too. Just a
small gathering but it just feels like the perfect
life.
I like to go to music festivals too. Last year, I
went to four different festivals and saw a load
of bands and all my favourite singers. It was
fantastic.
 

Clothes to Wear in the Summer

 

The summer in England is warm most of the season.

There are also periods of it being quite hot.
But most of the summer it will be in the early 20s in
terms of temperature. Sometimes there will be a
heatwave and the temperature will go above 30°, but
this rare.
As it is warm, people may wear short-sleeve shirts or
loose clothing.
If they can, they wear shorts and t-shirts.
I work in a bank, so when I go to work I have to
wear a bank uniform. We have two uniforms
though — one for winter and one for summer.
The summer one has short sleeves so it feels
more comfortable.
But at the weekend, I am in my t-shirt and
shorts all the time. I love the summer and I
dress for comfort when I can. Wherever I go
and whatever I do, it’s always in shorts.
It just feels like the most sensible choice in such
warm weather.
 

Food to Eat in the Summer

 

English people, like anyone else in hot weather, eat a lot

of ice-cream or cold drinks in the summer.
People might also eat a lot more fruit than they usually
do. And of course, English people love their beer, so if
they are old enough, they will drink cold beer in their
free time.
They might eat dishes like salad but they will also eat the
kind of food they eat for the rest of the year too.
In the summer, in my hometown, there are
many ice-cream vans that go around during the
day. You can hear the music playing from the
speakers in their van as they arrive.
Every time I hear one, I want to get an ice-
cream.
I ask my mum and sometimes she says yes. But
she won’t let me eat one every day.
It just seems like the perfect food to eat in the
summer!
 

Special Days in Summer

 

There is one bank holiday in the summer in England.

There is also Father’s Day in June.
There are no significant holidays or festivals in the
summer though.
In the summer, me and my sister always try to
do something special for our dad on Father’s
Day.
We don’t get him a gift, but we do make a
special day for him. Last year, we made dinner
for him and we ate outside in the garden.
It was just something different to do but I think
he liked it.
 

What about summer in your country? What do you do in

the summer? What kind of clothes do people wear in the
summer and what kind of food do people eat?
Think about all the activities and special holidays too.
Write some sentences down about as many things that
you can think of about summer in your country.
Then try speaking out your ideas out loud.

Autumn
 

In the autumn, the days begin to get shorter and cooler.

Students go back to school and university.
People start to wear warmer clothing and they may stay
at home more than in the summer.
The days get colder and darker as the season draws
closer to winter and the only holiday that people can
celebrate is Guy Fawkes.
Autumn in England is from September to November.
 

The Weather in Autumn

 

The weather in autumn is cool. The temperature is

around 5° to 15° — the same as spring. But the weather
can be some of the best of the year. Very little rain and
brilliant blue skies all day.
As the season progresses towards winter, the days get
colder and colder and the days get shorter.
To be honest, I prefer the autumn.
I am not a fan of hot weather. I really welcome
the cool weather in autumn and I love the
dramatic skies in the daytime. Sometimes a
brilliant blue and then it gets dark very
quickly.
It just feels great.
I love to go out walking in the autumn. The air
feels crisp and fresh and it just makes me feel
healthy.
 

Things to See in the Autumn

 

Autumn, like spring, is a season of dramatic change.

The leaves on the trees turn yellow, red and gold and
soon fall to the ground. The flowers and plants curl up
for the cold winter ahead.
The season begins with long sunny days but ends with
short and dark days.
One of the things I love is to see the leaves on
the trees change colour in the autumn.
In a very short period of time, all the leaves are
a range of beautiful colours — from red to
yellow and gold.
And as the trees prepare for the winter ahead,
all the leaves fall to the ground making the
streets full of red and gold waves.
The days get darker and darker and soon we
wake up in the morning and it’s dark outside.
We come home from work and by the time we
get home, it is already dark again.
It just feels like the whole world is preparing to
sleep.
 
Things to Do in the Autumn
 

Students prepare for a new term or semester at school or

college. They are busy getting ready for the new year
ahead.
People often look forward to Guy Fawkes night — the
only celebration in all of Autumn. No day off work, but a
fun evening for all the family.
And in October there is Halloween — a very popular
festival for children and adults alike.
There could also be harvesting festivals in the
countryside as all the farms gather their crops.
I love Halloween in the autumn. I just love
dressing up as a ghost or a vampire and going
to Halloween parties.
Some people have really creative Halloween
outfits.
And we can eat pumpkin soup which I love!
Then very soon after that, we have Guy Fawkes
night and everyone lets off fireworks.
In the past, we had fireworks in our garden,
but in recent times we have gone to a big
organised event in this big park in my town.
The fireworks there are bigger and more
professional.
Then they have this huge bonfire and people
gather all around it.
It’s a really great night out.
 

Clothes to Wear in the Autumn

 
The days start to get cooler so out come people’s
sweaters and jackets — just the same as they wear in the
spring.
And by the end of autumn, it is much colder. People may
now be wearing winter gloves and hats and maybe a
scarf to wear around their neck.
I am a big fan of the cooler weather in autumn.
So when the days get a little chilly, I am very
happy to wear my sweaters and jackets.
In the summer, I feel like I am sweating all
season. But in the autumn I can wear nice
fashionable clothes and not feel uncomfortable.
I also like to wear boots which I cannot wear in
the summer. So it’s nice to wear those in the
autumn and look good.
 

Food to Eat in the Autumn

 

The days get cooler and people may feel inclined to eat
hot or spicy food.
Indian food is very popular all year in England, but
could be more welcoming in the autumn.
In the summer, people may yearn for cold drinks, but in
the autumn they may prefer big steaming cups of tea of
coffee.
In the autumn, I can’t think of anything better
than Sunday Roast at home with my family.
We can all sit around the table together and eat
a big Sunday roast lunch with all the
trimmings. We might have a big fire going in
the living room so the house is all warm and
cosy.
Then after lunch, sitting down together and
drinking tea and watching an old movie on TV.
Of course, the thing with Sunday roast is that
there are always leftovers so I usually end up
eating all day. I can’t move and just sit in the
same place for the rest of the day.
But then I might look outside and see the cold
grey skies and feel happy to be indoors.
 

Special Days in Autumn

 

Special days in autumn include the first day back at

school or university for students. This is the beginning of
a new year and is often pretty exciting.
Then there are two big days that are both celebrated in
the evening.
Guy Fawkes night
Halloween
These days can be big family nights out. Children love
these nights. Lots of opportunities to dress up and have
fun.
Two of the best nights out in autumn for me are
Guy Fawkes and Halloween. My family has a
lot of young children so we end up having these
big occasions where we all dress up and have
fun together.
I usually end up helping all the young ones buy
pumpkins and do some pumpkin carving. These
love to make faces out of them and display them
in the house.
On Halloween, all the children in my
neighbourhood go trick or treating. This is
where they knock on someone’s door and shout
out: Trick or Treat?
Then the person in the house should give them a
treat — usually some candy.
The whole street is filled full of little kids
dressed as ghosts, vampires and devils.
It’s great fun.
Then shortly after that, it’s Guy Fawkes Night.
We usually go to the big park in town and
watch the firework display there.
There are people selling jacket potatoes and
other snacks.
It’s also a great night out for all the family.
 

How is autumn in your hometown? What is the

weather like in the autumn?
And what about special holidays? Are there any festivals
or special days that you celebrate in the autumn?
Try to think of all the food people like to eat at this time
of year. And the activities you might do.
Write down all your ideas in separate
paragraphs then practise speaking out loud.

Winter
 

Winter in England is cold. There could be snow in many

areas and this could cause problems getting to work or
school.
The days are very short and dark and everyone has to
wear their winter woollies.
There are two main holidays in England in the winter —
Christmas and New Years Day. We usually celebrate
these together in one week-long holiday. All the students
are off for this period and most businesses are closed.
Winter in England is from December to February.
 

The Weather in Winter

 

In England, the winter is usually cold. Temperatures are

around 6° to 7°.
It can snow in many parts of the country and if you are
in the countryside this can block roads. Many people
find it difficult to get around.
The mornings can be very icy. Car drivers often have to
spend many mornings de-icing their windscreens. This
usually involves using a special spray on the window to
melt the ice.
The roads and pavements can also be icy which might
make it difficult for driving and walking.
I love it when it snows in my hometown in the
winter.
I live in a city that is surrounded by hills and
they all get covered in snow. It makes the whole
place look bright and clean.
One time it snowed so heavily that cars could
not drive down the road where I live. Snow
filled the streets.
There were kids all outside building snowmen
and having snowball fights!
 

Things to See in the Winter

 

Well, there could be snow! That is always a welcome

thing to see. People usually like to see it snowing. It just
seems special.
The trees are completely bare of leaves. They look like
skeletons on the street or in the park.
And the days are very short. People wake up in the
morning and when they arrive at work it could still be
dark. Then they leave at the end of the day and when
they get home it is dark again.
This can make people feel unhappy at times…
I love the look of the countryside in the winter.
It can look completely empty of life which gives
it a very special quality.
There are no animals in the fields and the trees
look like dark skeletons on the landscape.
It has a very otherworldly look about it.
I feel like I can walk for miles and miles and it
makes me feel like I am the last person left alive
on earth.
 

Things to Do in the Winter

 

People are often preparing for the biggest festival of the

year — Christmas Day.
They could be very busy buying gifts and preparing food
for the big day. They also have to buy a Christmas tree
and decorations for the house.
Much of the month of December is spent on preparing
for Christmas Day. Then it is over and people often feel
at a loss as to what they should be doing.
But in January, students go back to school and college,
people go back to work and life gets back to normal.
I love the winter because I love Christmas. This
is my favourite time of the year.
I just love everything about it.
From the first day of December, I am busy
preparing all the gifts I need to buy. I might
spend many a lunch hour going round the
shops or department stores looking for things
to buy my relatives and friends.
Then as it gets closer to Christmas Day I have
to think about all the food to buy for people to
eat. It’s not just Christmas Day but all the other
times too.
And not to mention buying a Christmas tree
and all the decorations…
I am very busy in all of December as there is so
much to do. But I love it.
Then Christmas is over and I don’t know what
to do with myself.
 

Clothes to Wear in the Winter

 

Winter in England is cold.

People wear their thick winter coats. They might wear
down jackets and other styles of warm jackets.
Everyone will wear woollen sweaters in the winter. And
sometimes it gets so cold that they will wear hats to keep
their heads and ears warm. They will also wear thick
gloves and a scarf.
People may not look stylish in the winter as they only
dress for comfort and warmth against the cold.
I like to wear my winter clothing at the end of
the year.
I have so many sweaters that I can choose from
and I have three pairs of gloves to wear too.
I have some winter hats too. One is
a woollen beanie style hat and I have this other
hat that has fake fur on the trim. It looks like a
Russian army hat.
I also have some caps.
But my main item for winter is my thick down
jacket. I don’t know what I could do without it
in the winter. It is very warm and makes me
feel very comfortable as I walk outside.
 

Food to Eat in the Winter

 

There may not be any real significant change in what

people eat. But they may feel more inclined to eat hot
food or food that has a high-fat content to keep them
warm in the winter.
For example, Indian food would be very welcoming in
the winter as it is hot, spicy and has a lot of rice and
naan bread. English people love Indian food all year
round — it is very easy to find an Indian restaurant in
towns and cities across the country.
In the winter, when it is especially cold, there is
nothing I like better than to go to an Indian
restaurant and eat some Indian food.
It just seems so perfect on a cold winter’s
evening to try some hot, spicy Indian dishes.
I can’t cook Indian food at home so I might
make baked potatoes for lunch. These are very
hot and are great in the winter to keep me nice
and warm.
 

Special Days in Winter

 

The two main holidays or festivals in winter in England

are Christmas Day and New Years Day. I suppose you
could also include St Valentines Day in February too.
But Christmas is probably the biggest and most
celebrated holiday in England. Most of the country takes
a week off, all schools and colleges are closed for
Christmas and everyone wants to go home to meet their
family and celebrate.
I absolutely love Christmas. I just think it is a
great time for all the family to get together and
celebrate.
We usually have a big Christmas dinner and all
the family are there. All my immediate family
plus uncles and aunts and cousins.
The house is full of people and there is so much
energy.
All the children laughing and playing.
It’s the only time of year that we are all
together. But it is exhausting so when it’s over,
secretly, I am kind of glad.
 

How is winter in your country?

Is it as cold as England? Or hot and humid?
And what do people like to eat in the winter months? Is
there a special kind of food that people eat in winter in
your country?
Write down all your thoughts and ideas about
winter and then practise saying them out loud.

people do?
 What do you like to do in the winter?
 Are there any special outdoor activities in
the winter in your country?
 Does it snow in the winter in your country?
 What do students do in school in the winter
in your country?
 Do you have a special memory of winter?
What is it? What happened? What did you
do?
 

Talking about Seasons you Dislike

 

Just as you can talk about seasons you like, you can also
talk about seasons you really dislike too.
This is a good idea if you are preparing for the IELTS
test as it helps you to speak for a longer time — which
will impress the examiner — and it makes your answer
sound more rounded and complete.
Look at these questions to help you.
 

 What season do you dislike?

 Why do you dislike it?
  Think of three main things that you cannot
stand about this season. Talk about them.
 

In the IELTS test, if you are talking about seasons, it is a

good idea to end your talk about a season you don’t like.
This provides some contrast and balance. The examiner
will also think that your English is more fluent as you
can talk about things you like — and things you dislike.
Take a look at the questions above and try to
talk about the season you dislike.
 

Conclusion
 

I hope this is helpful for you to talk about each season in

your country.
What I suggest you do is:
 Read each section I wrote about each season

in England.
 Read out loud all the quotes from people

talking about each season. Use these quotes

to help you talk about seasons in your own
country — you will have to change the details
of course.
The best thing to do is to write down all your ideas for
each season, write down your answers from all the
questions and then practise speaking them out loud.
This will really help you when you have to do a talk in
the IELTS test. Or if you just need to have a conversation
in English about the seasons.

You covered the seasons very thoroughly in this lesson so there is a good base for a possible IELTS
test in the future. It is also good for students to learn about the seasons when in their culture there
may not be four seasons. In Central America we only had two seasons: rainy and dry. And in
Australia, winter comes in July and Christmas is in full summer!

Thank you Leona! I think for IELTS students talking about the weather is often a big advantage.
