Winter mumbled," I wish i was as beautiful as you with all the nature's beauty at it's peak."
Spring encouraged,"Don't worry in a matter of time you will be as beautiful as heaven and i will be ugly and lifeless.''

Super effort Alisha, you have used speech punctuation correctly, starting with a capital letter and placing the punctuation inside the speech marks. You have also used alternative words for said!
--- How could you use an adverb to show what the character is doing whilst speaking?

A good try Matilda. You have started to think about what Spring and Winter would say to each other when they met.
You have placed speech marks around what the character is saying.
---- Make sure that you start a new line when you are writing about another character is speaking.

Winter screeched,''Who are you? Are you Spring?''
Spring giggled and replied,''Yes. I am.'' Thereupon, she happily jumped around sprinkling cherry blossom flowers everywhere.

Wonderful writing Shefali. I can see that you have really used your imagination to help you to think about what Spring and Winter would say to each other.
You have used some wonderful synonyms for said, alongside the use of adverbs to show the reader what the character is doing and chosen super punctuation.
---- What do you think Summer would say to them both if she/he met them?

''As the order of life goes, winter follows spring, but spring will follow winter just as surely; and after the twilight fades away, sunset will come again,'' reiterate winter. Spring respond that ''In human life, however, the fading of warmth and light is not cyclical; youth will be replaced.''

This is a very thoughtful conversation between Winter and Spring Caliana.
You have used some wonderful synonyms for said.
---- What are the characters doing as they speak to each other?
Could you use adverbs to help you show the reader what they're doing.
For example:
As winter twirled his fingers rigidly through his branches, he explained to Spring, "How do you stay so bright about life my friend?"

Spring replied, "No, I'm better, kids love me because I grow flowers and cover the land in green."
Winter said," But I have Chritmas holidays"
Spring replied, "But I have warm easter holidays"
Winter Said," Let's stop this argument, we work together to make people happy, I will go first in December , then after I am tired, you can have a go!"

Winter met Spring and told him,"I'm better then you, because I'm cool, and kids love me. Because I create snow, so they can make snowmen, and play with snowballs."
Spring replied, "No, I'm better, kids love me because I grow flowers and cover the land in green."
Winter said," But I have Chritmas holidays"
Spring replied, "But I have warm easter holidays"
Winter Said," Let's stop this argument, we work together to make people happy, I will go first in December , then after I am tired, you can have a go!"

Fabulous effort Hamza! You have created a very imaginitive conversation between Spring and Autumn.
You have changed lines to show a new speaker.
----- List different words that you could use instead of replied and said. This will help to hook in the reader and show the reader how the character is saying something.
For example;
Spring sighed and continued solemnly, "But I have warm Easter holidays!"

"I am so ugly and I don't look very nice." said Winter.
"No, I don't think so. I like you because when it's your season, we have Christmas!" shouted Spring.
"But I like you because you have beautiful flowers and new creatures get born." replied Winter.
"Well, I suppose we both have good things."added Spring.
"OK! See you when I will change to you!"Winter said.

Super effort Byunghoon, you have written a conversation between Spring and Winter. You have used speech punctuation successfully to show when a character is speaking.
--- Could you use adverbs and verbs to show the reader what the character is doing and feeling when they're speaking.
For example:
"But I like you because you have beautiful flowers and new creatures get born," whispered Winter slowly whilst picking a leaf out of one of his branches.

"Hi I'm Spring" "What's your name?"
"My name is Winter" "How are you Spring?"
"I am better than you" says Spring.
"How are you better than me?" says Winter.
"People like me more" says Spring.
"But why Spring?" says Winter.
"Because the weather is awesome it's not too hot and too cold, and people can go cycling and have picnics with their family" says Spring.
"No I'm better because people can sky and have fun with their snow boards, and they can also have snow ball fights" says Winter.

When the timid winter met the loud and sweet Spring , he was envious of his beauty.
" Spring, i really like the flowers in your hair" muttered winter , looking down at the dry twigs hanging off his hands.
"Oh winter! dear friend , you look quite marvelous yourself. your snowflakes shine in the moonlight."
a small smile crept up on winter's face. "Thank you , Old friend. you never fail to lift me up."
Spring has come after all.

“Hi,” Winter mumbled.
“Who are you?”
Spring replied “I’m Spring.”
“ What exactly is Winter?”
“ In Winter it’s cold but you get to have mouth-watering hot chocolate, it snows so you can build snow men and you can ski!” boasted Winter.
“But what is Spring?”
Spring proudly announced, “Well in Spring it’s warm and you can get to enjoy juicy, sweet fruits, you can even have some refreshing lemonade!”
“Oooh, I would like to eat and drink some sweet fruits and lemonade!” sighed Winter enviously.

"How do you turn out to look so beautiful but I look so beat up?"
asked Winter with his cold breath floating all around the city.
"Don't know? maybe its just life?" answered Spring.
" Are you hungry Winter, because I am?"
"No", answered Winter
"But since you are, you can have this one hanging of my branch"
"Thank you" said Spring.
"Bye" said Winter.
