Rank the four seasons from best to worst for you, and defend your number one.

B Natural answer

My ranking would be autumn, spring, summer, then winter. Autumn is my number one because the weather feels steady and practical. I can enjoy cooler weather, keep the open windows, and still find good for walking days almost every week. The heat is gone, but it’s not so cold that I feel trapped indoors. I also like the colors, the calmer pace, and the fact that everyday plans feel easier. Summer is too intense for me, and winter can be a bit dull, especially when it gets dark early. Spring is lovely, but it can be unpredictable, so I don’t trust it as much as autumn. Overall, autumn is the season I can live in most comfortably. I sleep better, I walk more, and I feel more focused when the air is cool and clean.
