Here comes autumn! It is the third season of the year. In China, autumn arrives around September. It is still a little warm, but it gets colder and colder. The days also get shorter and shorter. The leaves on the trees begin to turn yellow and red. The air is fresh. It's a great season for kids to play outside. What do children do in autumn in different countries?
In China, students often have an autumn picnic. Usually, they go to an amusement park（游乐场）or out into nature. For example, kids in Shenzhen like to climb mountains in Nanshan. Most children also like to play games with their classmates, like soccer.
Japanese students often go hiking with their parents or classmates when the leaves are red and yellow. It is a perfect way to get exercise. Mountain climbing in nice weather is also a good choice.
For most children in the US, biking is a good autumn activity. Take a mountain bike ride and you can find new roads. Playing in leaf piles(堆) is popular, too. Kids jump onto a leaf pile. They are happy to see the colorful leaves fly all around. They also make leaf rain. It's all a lot of fun.
In the UK, school kids love to camp outside with their parents. They make food over the fire and tell ghost stories.
