=====================================

Hi! My name is Irene. I'm from the Philippines.

Japan has four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. I have a question for you. How many seasons do we have in the Philippines? The answer is two! We only have the rainy season and the dry season. Some days are wet, and some days are warm.

We don't have winter. But I touched snow for the first time in my life this year in Japan. It was cold! I was so happy and cried!

It was a great experience for me. Now, I like winter! How about you? Do you like winter?
