Spring Has Come to Town

A Tulip in the City

The new season has arrived to town and the weather seems to be really mad. Some days, there are showers in the morning, sun at midday and clouds in the afternoon. Nevertheless,  in spite of these sudden changes, I love spring because for me it means renewal and rebirth.

Now, let's describe the above picture and discuss about it:

1. Name the objects that you can see at the foreground and at the background of the picture. Describe their colours, materials and patterns.

2. What will you highlight about the picture?

3. Do you think spring is noticeable in the city? In which ways? (Think about parks but also about shop windows, etc.)

4. What does spring mean to you? Which is the season that you prefer and why?

Have a Happy Spring!!
