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 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 think nothing is more refreshing than a swim. In the summer vacation that has ended I went swimming many times with my classmates 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 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.
台湾南部的夏天很热，温度通常高达32"C以上。因为太热，所以没有空调的学校放假了。也正因为此，暑假的时候我大部分时间都呆在家里，偶尔去海边扎进冰冷的海水里来让我的身体降温。其实我喜欢游泳，我认为游泳非常清爽。这个暑假即将结束，我和我的同学还是去游了很多次，我们都玩得很开心。这个暑假，然而，我没有完全在寻找乐趣。作为高二的学生，我要准备一年后的高考。换句话说，我必须找到时间来学习。所以我在暑假安排了学习和玩耍。
