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热，那里的温度通常高达32摄氏度或更高。由于天气炎热，在没有空调的地方上学或做任何其他事情都是一种尝试。也正因为如此，我在暑假的大部分时间都呆在家里，只是偶尔去海滩，把自己泡在凉水里，以此来减少身体的粘性。事实上，我喜欢游泳，认为没有什么比游泳更令人耳目一新的'了。在刚刚结束的暑假里，我和同学们一起去游泳了很多次，我们都玩得很开心。然而，这个暑假并不完全是为了寻找乐趣。作为一名二年级学生，我必须为一年后的高考做准备。换句话说，我也必须找时间学习。所以我把暑假的时间分为工作和娱乐，从中得到了很多好处。
