2. Hokkaido is the second largest island of Japan. It is alsothe farthest north, so it is cooler than the other parts of Japan.The summers are warm and comfortable, not hot and humid.Also, there is no rainy season, so many Japanese people likevisiting there between May and August. It’s the best time toenjoy the great outdoors. Many people go there to look at thecolorful fields of flowers and visit the farms to pick fresh apples,grapes, and strawberries. They also spend time hiking in thearea’s six national parks. There, they can see Sika deer, brownbears, and beautiful lakes.Hokkaido’s winter season is cold and gets lots of ice andsnow. Because of that, it’s great for skiing and snowboarding.The cold weather also makes it excellent for going to the area’shot springs. The best, though, are the big snow festivals.They take place every February, and people can see hundreds ofsnow and ice sculptures and even slide down giant snow slides.There are lots to do in every season in Hokkaido.3● farthest 最遠的 humid 潮濕的 ; outdoors 戶外 ;colorful 色彩鮮艷的; area 地區 ; national 國家的 ; deer 鹿; snowboarding 滑雪 ; take place 舉行 ; sculpture 雕刻
