AUTUMN

I like autumn. Do you like autumn? Japanese often say “autumn for sports”, “autumn for eat”, “autumn for reading” and so on. Which do you suit? Of course, I chose “ for eat” hahaJ Today, I’ll talk about goodness of autumn.

Autumn is nice season because it has several attractions. First, in the early fall, we can fell difference of climate from summer. It is beautiful change. In the early morning, we fell colder and colder, and we have some frost. Many trees become red or yellow. When we go to school, kinmokusei(金木犀), a plant which have many small yellow flowers, gives off a pleasant smell. When we go back to home, we can hear the song of insect. In my home town, rice field become full of brown and gold in the fall, after that, it was cut. Second, we can enjoy eating in autumn. Japanese are looking forward to eat new rice in the fall. Many stores sell many kinds of sweets of limited autumn, because we have a lot of fruits in the fall, for example, chestnut, sweet potato, grape, persimmon, apple, and pear and so on. So, especially girls enjoy new sweets every autumn. And we often want hot something to eat or drink from autumn to winter, so we like oden(おでん),nikuman(肉まん) and nabe(鍋), a dish cooked in a pot at the table. We can feel them to be more delicious than other season. Finally, we have some events in the fall, for example, moon viewing(お月見), Halloween and field day. I still remember field day in my elementary school, junior high school and high school whenever autumn comes. It is precious memories. Each season has good side, but autumn is special season for me anyway.
