But it’s not a secret that my favourite season is summer. You can ask me a simple question: “Why?” I can name you a million reasons for that. First of all, I keen on hot weather; I don’t like rains and winds. In summer the weather is really great. Also you can have a rest from your school classes. I like to study, but every pupil is tired at the end of the academic year. In summer I enjoy spending time by the sea. I also like to bask in the sun. I’ve got a cool bicycle, so I usually ride it. My grandparents live in a village, and in summer I like to spend some weeks there, swimming in the river, fishing, picking mushrooms and berries.
My favourite season is summer, but I can find beauties in each season of the year.
Carol baked on apple cake yesterday, but she couldn't follow all the instructions in her cookbook because she didn't have enough of the ingredients. She used a little flour and a few eggs than the recipe required (то есть этого было немного, но достаточно, в соответствии с рецептом). She also used little butter, few apples, few raisins and little sugar than she needed (то есть она положила мало(недостаточно), меньше, чем нужно по рецепту, поэтому артикль а не ставится). As a result Carol's apple cake didn't taste very good. In fact it tasted terrible.
