Summer can be very hot in southern Hainan 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.
海南南部的夏天可能很熱，那裡的溫度通常高達32攝氏度或更高。由於天氣炎熱，在沒有空調的地方上學或做任何其他事情都是一種嘗試。也正因為如此，我在暑假的大部分時間都呆在家裡，只是偶爾去海灘，把自己泡在涼水裡，以此來減少身體的粘性。事實上，我喜歡游泳，認為沒有什麼比游泳更令人耳目一新的'了。在剛剛結束的暑假裡，我和同學們一起去游泳了很多次，我們都玩得很開心。然而，這個暑假並不完全是為了尋找樂趣。作為一名二年級學生，我必須為一年後的大學聯考做準備。換句話說，我也必須找時間學習。所以我把暑假的時間分為工作和娛樂，從中得到了很多好處。
