Of all the seasons, winter is my favorite. The reason is that winter has many fun events, such as Christmas and New Year’s Day. There are several moments when I feel winter is coming. For example, the cold air becomes strong, and I change from short sleeves to long sleeves. However, what makes me feel “Winter is here!” the most is seeing oden at a convenience store. When I see hot oden steaming near the register, I feel the change of seasons. It makes me excited. I think that this is a very Japanese way to feel winter. But winter ends very quickly. I want to feel that excitement again. Now, I cannot wait for next winter to come.   (119 words)   By Hanna O.
