Think and share
We know many facts of nature.
For example, there are four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In spring, it is often rainy and sunny, and flowers start to bloom. In summer, it can be very hot and sunny. Autumn is a season when leaves change colour. Winter is cold and sometimes snowy and windy.
Nature also includes different landscapes such as grasslands, mountains, lakes and seas.
There are also many kinds of animals. Mammals like lions and rabbits live on land. Insects like butterflies and bees are small but important. Birds fly in the sky. Fish swim in the water. And there are also many beautiful plants like trees, grass and flowers. All these make up the wonderful nature around us.

To look down viewing all the peaks small. —Du Fu

A Spring Morning
—Meng Haoran
This morn of spring in bed I’m lying,
Not woke up till I hear birds crying.
After one night of wind and showers,
How many are the fallen flowers!

Nothing Gold Can Stay
—Robert Frost
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
