Fall, Fall, Fall!


Fall in this country makes me feel happy, because everything is good. What I like about fall is everything. There is nothing I don’t like about fall. When I was younger, one fall activity I enjoyed was visiting my friends. Since moving to this country, one activity I enjoy in the fall is to look at ducks. When I compare the fall in Iraq with the fall here, I see that my country is very hot and the trees are the same color all the time. Of all the four seasons, I like winter best. Before winter begins, I would like to move to a new apartment. Fall is the best season to play with my daughter outside.

What I don’t like about fall is rain and it is getting cold. When I was younger, one fall activity I enjoyed was taking photographs. Since moving to this country, one activity I enjoy in the fall is all the beauty and the gifts of nature. When I compare the fall in Russia with the fall here, I see that they are rather identical. Of all the four seasons, I like winter least. Before winter begins, I would like to play with my daughter Rimma in the park. Fall is the best season for traveling to the south.

Fall, Fall, Fall!


Fall in this country makes me feel sad because the winter is coming. What I like about fall is the weather changes from hot to warm. What I don’t like about fall is the leaves fall down. When I was younger, fall activities I enjoyed were taking photos outside and playing tennis. Since moving to this country, one activity I enjoy in the fall is going to a corn maze with my children. When I compare the fall in Iraq to the fall here, I see that it is cooler here than in my country. I also see people go outside and have fun. I like spring best of all the four seasons. I like summer least. Before winter begins, I would like to visit my country. Fall is the best season for working out.

Fall in this country makes me feel happy. I like fall when the leaves
change colors. When I was in Somalia, one activity I enjoyed was playing soccer. Since I came to America, one activity I enjoy in the fall
is walking. I can’t compare the fall in my country because we don’t have fall in Somalia. The weather is hot and sunny all the time. Everything is green. Of all the four seasons, I like summer best. Of all the four seasons, I like winter least. Before winter begins, I would like to get my driver’s license. Fall is the best season for walking outside and going to the mall.

Fall, Fall, Fall!


Fall in this county makes me feel sad, because the year is coming to the end. What I like about fall is leaves change colors from green to orange, red, and brown. What I don’t like about fall is rain and cold in the morning. When I was younger, some fall activities I enjoyed were jumping in the leaves, sitting around the bonfire, and weekend in school in October. Since moving to this county, some activities I enjoy in the fall are going to the park, seeing trees and leaves changing color. When I compare the fall in Russia with the fall here, I see that it is still warm in September, October, and November here. Cold and snow start in December. Of all the four seasons, I like spring best because new leaves appear on the trees. Of all the four seasons, I like winter least because it is cold. However, I like snow. Before winter begins I would like to get a driver’s permit. Fall is the best season for playing outside, and cleaning apartments, windows, and yards.

Fall in this country makes me feel good. What I like about fall is it is neither cold nor hot. What I don’t like about fall is rain and everywhere is dirty and wet. When I was younger, one fall activity I enjoyed was to sew clothes with friends and talk together. Since moving to this country, one activity I enjoy in the fall is traveling. When I compare the fall in Laos to the fall here, I see a little difference. Of all the four seasons, I like spring best. Of all four seasons, I like winter least. Before winter begins, I would like to buy a new coat. Fall is the best season for me to travel anywhere.
