Summer can be very hot in outhern Taiwan where the temperature uually goe up to 32"C or more. Becaue of the heat it i a trying experience to go to chool or do anything ele in a place that i not air-conditioned. Alo becaue of thi I tay at home mot of the time during the ummer vacation and occaionally go to the beach to plunge myelf into the cool water a a way to keep my body le ticky. Actually I like wimming think nothing i more refrehing than a wim. In the ummer vacation that ha ended I went wimming many time with my clamate we all had a good time. Thi ummer vacation, however, wa not pent entirely in eeking fun. A a econd-year enior tudent I had to prepare myelf for the college entrance examination that were a year away. In other word, I mut find time to tudy, too. So I divided my time between work play during the ummer vacation derived benefit from thi arrangement.
