Summer

I love summer. I know it is warmer and hotter than any other season but is
more glorious. The sky is as clear as in spring and there are more hours of
sunshine. We students have more time to enjoy the day and we are less busy than
during term time. Days became longer and better so we can play all day long.
Nowadays the climate is more changeable than some years ago and sometimes we
have to play attention to the weather forecasts to find out if one day will be
sunnier than the previous one or not. But you can also check on the weather from
your own house. Just look at the weathercock at the top of your village church and
you will know the directions of the wind. If you want to know the temperature just
look at the thermometer, and if you are interested in the air pleasure, look at a
barometer. By gathering this information you will know if tomorrow will be finer,
rainier or windier than today.
Anyway, although sometimes the weather in summer is worse then in the winter,
I still love it because I don't have to go to school.
