Is Summer the Best Season?

Summer is a time for fun—sunny days, ice cream, and no school! But is it really the best season? Some kids say yes, while others disagree. What’s your opinion? Posted by Alex at 8:20 a.m.

In my opinion, summer is the best season of the year. It brings longer days and nice weather. Summer break gives you time to rest and spend time with your family. What’s more, sunlight gives you lots of vitamin (维他命) D, which is healthy for your body and mind. On top of that, summer brings lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, like berries and melons. Also, summer is a great time to travel with family, catch up with old friends, read fun books, and take part in summer camps and other fascinating activities.

I don’t think summer is the best season, because we have more holidays in winter. In winter, we have Christmas, Chinese New Year, Tet (Vietnamese New Year), and a few more. These celebrations mean fun with family, delicious food, and gift-giving. I can’t wait to prepare the gifts for my friends.

Summer is the best season for everybody. For many kids, summer means no school, which means fun at home! Because of the hot weather, summer is the time of the year for swimming and eating ice cream. Now I’m sitting by the pool and writing the post. Summer also has lots of time for vacations and simply hanging out with friends.
