A Conversation About Comparing Seasons ESL Lesson Plan

Cindy: It’s a beautiful day, don’t you think? The sun is shining with a slight breeze. I love spring. There are more sunny hours in the day, the flowers are starting to bloom… but the best part is that we can actually feel the warmth on our skin. No more heavy jackets and winter hats. As the chill of winter fades, we can enjoy the fresh air by leaving the windows open. I love it!

Bob: Well, I actually prefer fall and winter. I love all the colors of fall as the leaves change and fall from the trees, and I really don’t mind the cold when winter arrives.

Cindy: I guess everyone has their favorite seasons. I just love to see all the plants flowering, butterflies, and hear the birds singing in spring and summer. It gives me a happy feeling. Spring comes in between two extreme seasons – harsh winter and searing summer. Spring brings us ideal temperatures so that we can enjoy outdoor activities and the best part … we can still enjoy comfy evenings curled in a fluffy blanket.

Bob: Not being too hot makes me happy. It is easier to keep warm in winter, than cool in summer. At least in my part of the world. Where it snows it may be different.

Cindy: Don’t you enjoy the outdoors, going to the beach, having barbecues etc?

Bob: Sometimes of course, but I prefer it when it is not too hot, so I don’t get burned. You can have a barbecue anytime really.
