The Happiness of Enjoying Four Seasons

People often say that sunshine is the most valuable thing in the world. But I say that sometimes rain and snow are more valuable, because they give living beings the strength of life and make us cheerful.
Sometimes rain is cherishable,but it is crucial to the growth of crops. There is an old saying in China: Spring rain is as expensive as oil. Because there is usually little rain in spring, but crops need water to grow. Without enough water, crops may die or cannot harvest in autumn. Autumn is a havest season. A little rain may benefit to the harvest. And it also make farmers comfortable, because it is still a bit hot in autumn, if there are much sunshine, but no rain, farmers will feel too hot and incomfortable.
Summer and winter are the most exciting seasons in the whole year, because of the sunshine and snow. In summer, the most expectative things are enjoying the sea breeze and swimming in the sea. But if you can enjoy these in any season, it seems to be less expectative. Winter is the most mysterious season of the year. When I was a child, my mother often told me some fairy tales which happened in winter. As I gradually grow up, I find the most interesting game for me is having a snowball fight with my friends. I can forget all worries and feel like I were a kid. Consequently, summer and winter make me feel cheerful.
In my home country, there are four different seasons with different charactors. Spring is the season which ground begins to wake up. There are usually much sunshine and breeze in summer. Leaves fall and the weather begins to be cool in autumn. Winter is often filled with snow. I like the weather in my home country, it do benefit for a lot of things including crops and make us feel cool.
Although lots of people like sunshine, I prefer to different-charactored seasons. We have different feelings in four seasons. That makes me feel cheerful and it is good for living beings.

I have read Yen's and Kaiyue's journals.
