In January, cold winds blow, In February, we hope for snow.
March brings flowers, starting to appear, April showers make them clear.
In May, the sun begins to shine, June’s warmth is simply divine.

Na próxima vez que nos encontrarmos, vamos discutir esse diário juntos. Será uma ótima oportunidade para você refletir sobre sua semana e também para praticar seu inglês.
