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 pided my time between work and play during the summer vacation and derived much benefit from this arrangement.

在台湾南部夏季非常热,温度会上升到32“C或更多。因为热,这是一个尝试体验上学或做任何其他的地方没有空调。也因为这个我呆在家里大部分时间在暑假期间,只是偶尔去海边自己陷入冰冷的水来保持我的身体不粘。实际上我喜欢游泳,认为没有什么比游泳更清爽。在刚刚结束的暑假,我和我的同学多次去游泳,我们都玩得很开心。这个暑假,然而,并非完全都在寻求乐趣。作为一个二年级的大四学生,我不得不准备自己的高考只是一年的时间。换句话说,我也必须找到时间学习。所以我分裂的时间工作和娱乐之间暑假期间和派生受益于这样的安排。
