The Sounds of Seasons
Each season has its special charm, and for me, the sounds of each season are like beautiful music that I never get tired of listening to.
Spring brings the sound of life waking up. I love the sound of raindrops tapping on the window, like a gentle drumbeat. Birds start singing happily in the trees, and sometimes I can hear the bees buzzing around the flowers in my garden. It makes me feel that everything is full of hope.
Summer is a lively season with exciting sounds. In the afternoon, the cicadas sing loudly in the trees, which is the most special sound of summer. At night, I often hear the frogs croaking by the pond near my home, and crickets chirping in the grass. It's like a big outdoor concert.
Autumn has some soft and nice sounds. The wind blows through the trees, and I can hear the leaves rustling and falling to the ground, making a "shush" sound. Sometimes, geese fly south in a V-shape, honking loudly as if they are saying goodbye to us.
Winter is a quiet season but has lovely sounds too. When it snows, everything is silent, but I enjoy the sound of walking on the snow, which is "crunch, crunch". At home, the sound of the fire crackling in the fireplace and people laughing while drinking hot chocolate makes me feel warm and happy.
I really love all the sounds of the seasons. They make my life more colorful and interesting, and I always look forward to hearing them every year.

四季之声
每个季节都有其独特的魅力，对我来说，每个季节的声响就像美妙的音乐，让我永远乐此不疲地聆听。
春天带来了生命苏醒的声音。我喜欢雨滴敲打窗户的声音，就像轻柔的鼓点。鸟儿在树上欢快地歌唱，有时还能听到花园里蜜蜂在花丛中嗡嗡作响。这让我觉得一切充满希望。
夏天是一个充满活力的季节，有着令人兴奋的声音。下午，蝉在树上大声歌唱，这是夏天最特别的声音。晚上，我常常听到家附近池塘边的青蛙呱呱叫，还有草丛里的蟋蟀唧唧鸣叫。这就像一场大型的户外音乐会。
秋天有一些柔和而美妙的声音。风穿过树林，我能听到树叶沙沙作响并掉落到地上，发出“沙沙”的声音。有时，大雁排成 V 字形向南飞去，大声鸣叫着，仿佛在向我们告别。
冬天是一个安静的季节，但也有一些可爱的声响。下雪时，一切都变得寂静，但我喜欢在雪地上行走的声音，那是“嘎吱，嘎吱”的声音。在家里，壁炉里噼里啪啦的火光声以及人们一边喝着热巧克力一边欢声笑语的声音，让我感到温暖和快乐。
我真的很喜欢四季的各种声音。它们让我的生活更加丰富多彩、趣味盎然，而且每年我都会期待听到这些声音。
