In Edmonton, the spring weather is a little wild. It can be cold and snowy or warm and sunny. The temperature can be as low as -15℃, but it can also reach 15 ℃. We probably won't see any flowers until May or June! What does she mean? The weather is changeable and the temperature varies greatly. There are no flowers until May or Jane. After school today, we have so much fun playing outside. We played “snow” soccer, but we had to wear jackets, jeans and boots to stay warm. When it gets warmer we can play in our shorts and T-shirts. I like spring because there are lots of activities to do, like cycling, having picnics, and hiking. Why does Jenny like spring? Because there are lots of activities to do, like cycling, having picnics, and hiking. I like the Chinese name for winter jasmine. It’s interesting. Here, we have Groundhog Day on February 2 for the coming of spring. Do you know what happens on that day? What does Groundhog Day mean? It means spring is coming. Another fun part of spring is going to the sugar bush, a big tree farm in the countryside. We make maple syrup. We eat lots of tasty breakfast foods—all with maple syrup on them! I love spring activities. Talk to you soon! Jenny Where does maple syrup come from? Maple syrup comes from maple trees. People get it from big maple tree farms in the countryside. Culture Tips Groundhog Day is on February 2. On that day, a small animal called groundhog comes out of its hole in the ground. If it’s sunny, the groundhog comes out of its hole, sees its shadow(影子), and goes back into its hole. This means winter will last six more weeks. If it's cloudy, the groundhog can't see its shadow and stays outside. This means spring will come soon.

I’m so happy to know about spring in Edmonton. It’s really interesting! Now I want to tell you something about spring in my city. The spring weather here is different from yours. It’s warm and gentle, and the temperature is usually around 10℃ to 20℃. We often have soft wind and light rain. They make all the plants grow fast and flowers start to bloom. The whole city is full of green and colourful flowers. It’s neither too cold nor too hot, so it’s nice for going outside. Post-writing I have lots of fun activities to do in spring. On weekends, I usually go for bike rides with my friends in the park. When the wind is nice, we fly kites in the square and it’s so exciting! We have some special customs to welcome spring. The most important one is Tomb-sweeping Day. On that day, we visit our ancestors(祖先)’ tombs, clean the area and bring some flowers. It’s a time to remember our family members. Besides, people also like to go for spring outings. Post-writing We go to the mountains to get close to nature and welcome the new spring together. Spring here is so beautiful and lively. I really hope you can come to my city one day to experience our spring. Yours, Wang Mei Post-writing 1.
