Summer can be very hot in southern Taiwan where the temperature usually goes up to 32C 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． |
