Summer can be very hot in southern Taiwan where the temperature usually
goes up to 32"C or more. Because of the heat it is a trying experience to go to
school or do anything else in a place that is not air-conditioned.
Also because of this I stay at home most of the time during the summer
vacation and only occasionally go to the beach to plunge myself into the cool
water as a way to keep my body less sticky. Actually I like swimming and think
nothing is more refreshing than a swim.
In the summer vacation that has just ended I went swimming many times with
my classmates and we all had a good time. This summer vacation, however, was not
spent entirely in seeking fun. As a second-year senior student I had to prepare
myself for the college entrance examinations that were only a year away.
In other words, I must find time to study, too. So I divided my time
between work and play during the summer vacation and derived much benefit from
this arrangement. |
