Winter darkness and longer days

4:06

because, like I said, I really like the late light evenings in the summer.

4:06

And I think, even though I hate the dark winters,

4:10

I would really miss that, if the weather was nice all year

4:13

but got dark at the same time, like at six or seven o'clock.

4:22

OK, let's recap the language we heard in the conversation.

4:25

We learned different ways to talk about the seasons.

4:28

For example, 'looking forward to' – that means

4:31

you're excited for something to happen in the future.

4:34

That's right. So I'm really looking forward

4:37

to the warm, light, sunny evenings in the summer.

4:41

We heard 'to be a big fan of' – that means that you really like something.

4:45

For example, I'm a big fan of spring and autumn.

4:49

Yes, Georgie is a big fan of the transition seasons.

4:53

I'm not such a big fan of winter, though.

4:56

Actually, I can't stand it, which means that I really hate it.

5:01

Thanks for listening to Real Easy English.

5:03

We've talked about the seasons in the UK,

5:06

but the seasons are different all around the world.

5:09

What are the seasons like where you live?
