My name’s Patrick and I love autumn! It’s my favorite season. I wait for it every year. I hate hot weather because I can’t enjoy walking when it’s too hot. But in autumn, the weather is cool and cold, so it’s perfect for walking. I like the yellow colours of the leaves everywhere at that time. They are so beautiful. I love painting them. And I really don’t mind working during the autumn because it’s easier. My apartment is cold with open windows, which can’t be in summer with open windows. I can say that I’m a good cook but I can’t cook in my kitchen in the summer! I just hate it!
