Life is like the four seasons. Now I am very old, but when I am young, it is the spring of my life. I play a lot, and then I start school. I learn many new things. Like a flower, I grow bigger and bigger day by day. There are happy days and heartbroken days. Some days the Sun shines, the other days it rains. When I am twenty years old, I have a good job. I am strong and happy. Then I marry and have a child. In those days, I don't have much time to think or to play. Every day, I am busy and work hard. I start to get white hair. It's the summer of my life and it passes quickly.
Then the days get shorter. Leaves fall down from the trees. My child is a university student and then an engineer. My home is much quieter. I start walking more slowly. One day I stop working, and I retire （退休）. I have more time. I know is my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees change colour and give people delicious fruit. But the days are getting shorter and colder. Winter comes. I am older and weaker. I know I do not have many days, so I will enjoy them to the end.
