여름에는 날씨가 덥습니다. 햇빛이 강합니다. 비가 많이 옵니다. 이것을 장마라고 합니다. 사람들은 바다에서 수영을 합니다. 아이들은 수영장에서 물놀이를 합니다. 더운 날에는 아이스크림을 먹습니다.
가을에는 날씨가 시원합니다. 바람이 불고, 하늘이 맑습니다. 나무 잎이 빨갛고 노랗습니다. 이때를 단풍철이라고 합니다. 많은 사람이 산에 갑니다. 단풍을 보고 사진을 찍습니다. 가을에는 맛있는 과일이 많습니다. 사과와 배가 달고 맛있습니다.
겨울에는 날씨가 춥습니다. 눈이 옵니다. 사람들이 두꺼운 옷을 입습니다. 아이들이 눈사람을 만들고, 눈싸움을 합니다. 어떤 사람들은 스키장에 갑니다. 겨울에는 따뜻한 음식이 인기 있습니다. 뜨거운 국과 찌개를 많이 먹습니다.

Cam Fairbairn was working in restaurants when he started a side hustle — work he did on top of his regular job — making and selling his own jam.

Making jam was a hobby, but he'd been encouraged by a friend to make it an extra source of income.

However, he soon stopped enjoying it when his hobby became a business. He went back to focusing on his day job.

But not everyone is so lucky. For some, a side hustle is not just a good way to make extra money from something you love — it's a necessity.

Shonnita Leslie had big education debts to pay, so while she was working at a university during the day, her side hustle was delivering food. She needed the extra money to pay off those debts.

And according to new data, Leslie is not alone.

A survey by Bankrate found that more than one third of Americans have a side hustle. Among those aged between 18 and 27, it's 48%.

Of the Americans with a side job, 36% use that extra money to pay for daily necessities like housing and food. And 32% said they think they'll always need a side hustle to make ends meet.

"People are telling us they're side hustling because they have to, not because they want to," Ted Rossman from Bankrate told CNBC.

The survey of more than 2,300 Americans also found that about 28% of people with a side hustle make at least $500 per month from their second job. Around 9% of people said they make more than $2,000.
