Using the descriptive writing skills you have learned about in this Unit, describe in detail a day in one of the four seasons. Please use at least one simile or metaphor in your description.

Please write 2-3 sentences.

In the depths of winter, the world is transformed into a sparkling wonderland. The air is crisp and sharp, like a thousand tiny needles pricking your skin. The ground is blanketed in a layer of pure white, glistening like diamonds in the sunlight.

To describe a day in summer, incorporate vivid sensory details to bring the season to life for the reader. You could describe the warm rays of the sun gently caressing the skin, the vibrant colors of blooming flowers painting the landscape, and the sweet aroma of freshly cut grass filling the air. Use similes or metaphors to enhance the imagery, such as comparing the sun's rays to golden ribbons or describing the flowers as a kaleidoscope of colors. By painting a vivid picture of a summer day, the reader will be able to easily identify the season.
