The Climates of the United States
The United States has many different kinds of climate (氣候). On the west coast the temperature changes very little between summer and winter. But the north central states have a very different kind of climate. In those states, people wear light clothing during the summer, and they need heavy wool or fur clothing in the winter.
In the southwest, the climate is pleasantly warm during the winter, but the summer is unpleasantly hot.
In the eastern part of the United States,summer temperatures are very different from winter temperatures.Summers are usually hot,and winters are usually cold.Spring temperatures are comfortably warm, and fall temperatures are pleasantly cool.
Years ago, people in the cold parts of the United States didn't often get fresh vegetables and fresh fruits (新鮮水果) during the winter. Today, however, trucks and trains carry fruits and vegetables very quickly to all parts of the United States. In this way, Americans "send their climates" to people in other states.

文中語言簡(jiǎn)單而富有變化，敘述清楚完整。結(jié)尾段比喻形象生動(dòng)：讀者可模仿寫一篇“中國(guó)的氣候”。

美國(guó)的氣候
美國(guó)的氣候多種多樣，西部海岸的溫度在冬夏間變化甚小。但中北部各州的氣候完全是另一種樣子。這里的人們夏季穿著十分輕便，而在冬季則要穿上厚重的羊毛或裘皮服裝。
西南部的氣候冬天和暖適宜，但夏天卻酷熱難耐。
美國(guó)東部的氣溫夏冬相差非常大，夏天通常很熱，冬天則很冷。春天溫暖宜人，秋天涼爽泌心。
以前，住在寒冷地區(qū)的人冬天吃不到新鮮蔬菜和水果，不過，現(xiàn)在，卡車、火車將果蔬運(yùn)往美國(guó)全國(guó)各地，這樣呢，美國(guó)人也就將“他們的氣候”送給住在別州的同胞們。
