Question

There are only two seasons in some countries—the dry season and the rainy season. They are India, Vietnam and some countries in Africa. It’s never cold there and it doesn’t snow. In the dry season it is as warm as it is in the rainy season. When it is the dry season, it doesn’t rain at all. It’s very, very hot. All grass and leaves in the trees are yellow. Animals and people are very thirsty. It is a very difficult time for them! When it is the rainy season, the rain doesn’t stop: it rains day and night. There is a lot of water around! Some animals like it but some don’t.

There is a place where there are no seasons at all. It is the Antarctic (南极).

It is very cold all the year round. There are no countries and no cities there. There are some villages in the Antarctic. Who lives there? Some scientists from some countries go there to learn about the coldest place, its animals and birds. But there are no trees, no flowers, no fruit there, so people can't live there long.
