When I was a kid, I liked summer best. 36 ?  Because I could do what I like. I could go 37 at the pool. I could 38 my beautiful skirts. And of course there 39 no school. But autumn (秋天) is my 40 season now.

Summer is too hot, so I always 41 in the house. I 42 like it. Winter is usually too 43 . I don’t like to go outside and I have to wear lots of warm clothes. In spring (春天) it usually rains. It’s my second favorite season.

Autumn is the best. It isn’t too hot 44 too cold. The temperature (温度) is 45 18℃and 22℃. It’s a great time of the year. I like it.

There is an interesting festival in China. On that special day, people in Hunan Province always have a dragon boat match. The dragon boat is quite long, like a dragon. There are pictures of dragons on each side. The front of the boat is like the head of a dragon. During the match, about twenty men in the boat make it move quickly. There is always a man standing in the middle of the boat. He beats a drum to make the other boat in the same rhythm. It’s an interesting match when they are reaching(到达) the end. The audience(观众) along the lake shout for their favourite team. From this match, we have the name of the festival –the Dragon Boat Festival.
This special day has another name—Duanwu Festival. About it we have a story. Long long ago, there was a famous poet(诗人) called Qu Yuan. He was famous not only for his poems, but also for thinking a lot for the people. After he died, people eat rice dumplings in memory of him on this special day.
