Q: What is your favorite season?
A: My favorite season is definitely autumn. I wish that fall lasted longer, but in the past few years, it has gotten shorter and shorter. I wish global warming would shrink summer time instead!
Fall is my favorite for a couple for a couple of reasons. First, I love to see all the colored leaves. In the Pacific Northwest, we have a wide variety of trees, and each type takes a different color during the autumn months. When I was a child autumn came earlier, and I have fond memories of walking to school to start a brand new school year, kicking piles of leaves as I went.
I also prefer the weather in autumn. I can’t stand hot weather at all, and in the Pacific Northwest, autumn brings the best kind of weather. The air is cool and crisp, the wind is bracing, and the sky is grey. Perfect!

Q: 一番好きな季節は？
A: 私が一番好きなのは絶対秋！秋がもっと長ければいいのにと思っているのだけれど、ここ数年は短くなってきているわ。逆に地球温暖化で夏が短くなればいいのにって思うわ！
秋が大好きな理由は２つあるの。１つ目は紅葉が大好きだから。太平洋岸北西部は様々な種類の木があって、秋にはそれぞれ違う色になるの。私が子供の頃は秋の訪れが早くて、落ち葉の山を蹴りながら、新学期の学校へと歩いたのは懐かしい思い出よ。
あと秋の天候も好きなの。暑いのは全然耐えられないわ。太平洋岸北西部は秋の天候が最高よ。空気がひんやりさわやかで、風がすがすがしく、空はグレイなの。完璧だわ！
