Comments

Well done, Javier, on all your hard work this term. You are always active in speaking activities, and this is great. I always enjoy reading your writing too; you have very good ideas. You can see from your marks that reading is not a problem for you.

Sometimes you still make small grammar mistakes, and I think you can improve your vocabulary. I recommend you review many of the language points we studied this term. There is extra language practice in your online workbook.

The area you need to work on the most is listening. I know this is difficult for you. I recommend more practice at home. Listen to English TV shows, podcasts and radio as much as possible. I can give you a list of things to listen to.

I’ve enjoyed working with you. Have a nice holiday, and good luck for next term!

Task 2

Autumn From my Window

Each season has its wonders and charm, but many of us think that autumn is special, because autumn surprises us with its richness: juicy fragrant fruits and vegetables, colorful leaves. I like autumn very much, it is my favorite weather in the year. I like to travel in autumn. I go to my grandparents` house which is locaeted in Tavush region. The road is passing through many forests which have different colors like rainbow. I help my grandfather harvest vegetables and fruits, and I really enjoy it.
Look out of your window, describe autumn in your yard, in your street, make videos, recordings.

Why is Fall called Fall?

It’s to do with when the leaves ‘fall’ from the trees – nice and simple!

What’s the best thing about Fall?

One of the best things about Fall is the not hot, not cold, but mild temperatures. It’s the perfect blend of crisp mornings and warm afternoons that many of us enjoy.

What do you see in the Fall?

In the Fall, you will see leaves falling from the trees and changing color. You will also feel the temperature drop and start seeing birds move across the sky, seeking warmer temperatures. It’s also the season where animals begin to prepare for hibernation, and you see pumpkin and Halloween decorations everywhere.

Reasons Why Autumn Is One Of The Best Seasons

Dreaming of pumpkin, caramel apples, turkey, and mashed potatoes? So are we! It’s finally Autumn, a favorite season to many who enjoy the fun foods, festivities, and cooler weather.

Changing Colors

Many people love Autumn for the changing colors of leaves. Trees that were once green explode into beautiful hues of gold, red, and orange. The colors are especially breathtaking in places like New England in the United States, the Douro River Valley in Portugal, and Bavaria in Germany, inspiring many people to travel to these spots.

Pumpkin Everything

If you love pumpkins, then you’re in luck! Pumpkin flavors can be found everywhere in Autumn, particularly in traditional favorites like pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread, and in more modern treats like pumpkin-spiced teas and coffees. Be sure to get your fill before the season ends!

Delicious Desserts

Autumn is one of the best times of year for sweets. Caramel apples, taffies, and candies can be found in abundance, as well as pumpkin pie, pecan pie, apple pie…basically any kind of pie your heart may desire. If you’re indulging in pumpkin pie this Autumn, don’t forget the whipped cream!

Cooler Weather

After the intense heat of the summer, it can be a relief when it finally starts to cool down. September is a great month weather-wise, as warm days start to give way to cool, crisp nights. After months of blasting the air conditioning, the beginning of Autumn often ushers in cooler breezes that allow you to finally keep the windows open.

Better Fashion

When it’s intensely hot in the summer, fashion can sometimes go by the wayside in favor of coolness and comfort. However, Autumn ushers in new fashions like jackets, sweaters, and boots that tend to be more flattering than shorts and flip flops, and more fun to wear.

Roasting marshmallows on fireplace

Firepits

If you’re lucky enough to have a firepit on your property, or know someone who does, this is the ideal time of year to use it! There’s nothing like roasting hot dogs, brats, or marshmallows over an open fire. Be sure to take advantage now before winter comes and it’s too cold!

Arts and Crafts

Whether you’re carving pumpkins for Halloween, crafting an intricate sugar skull for Dia de Los Muertos, or stuffing a cornucopia for Thanksgiving, there are plenty of crafts to keep both kids and adults busy every Autumn.

Holidays

Autumn is chock full of holiday festivities around the world, such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Dia de Los Muertos. Autumn holidays are particularly enjoyable because of the wonderful meals, tasty treats, elaborate costumes, and rich colors that go along with the celebrati

As you can see, Autumn is definitely one of the best seasons of the year, offering festivities that the entire family can enjoy.
