Introduction
Earth spins around the Sun at an angle, which is why we have different seasons.
Most modern day calendars around the world reflect this and divide the year into 4 seasons: spring, summer, fall (autumn), and winter.
The dates of when these seasons begin and end, vary depending on who you ask.
Argentina has four seasons: winter (June–August),
spring (September–November)
summer (December–February)
and autumn (March–May)
Can you relate some parts of the video to seasons in Argentina?
