短篇英语作文：我喜爱（讨厌）夏天

I Love Summer

「我喜爱夏天」

　It is true that summer is hot, very hot. But the wicked summer sun is nothing to me, for I don't usually go out. What I like to do best during the long summer vacation is to stay in my own little room and read. I love to read, but during the school year I could hardly find a free moment for reading. Endless assignments press down upon me like a mountain. I feel confined and imprisoned. Once the summer vacation comes, however, I have all the time in the world to read and read and read. I read everything I want to read. I read to my heart's content. My room maybe small, and the sun maybe hot, but I'm free, I'm happy, I'm really living! Oh, how I love summer!

I Hate Summer

「我讨厌夏天」

　第一篇：

　Three things make me hate summer: air conditioner, rain shower and ice cream. This sounds strange, doesn't it? Well, let me explain. Air conditioners are an absolute necessity in summer. As such they should be a blessing. The trouble is, however, they don't cool the whole sky——they only cool one room or building. So when you walk out of the comfortable air-conditioned room into the street, immediately you plunge into a gigantic oven. And the heat is all the more murderous for the cool air you've just enjoyed in the room. Air-conditioners are really an enemy in the guise of a friend. Thundershowers are a common thing in summer. They never give you warning in advance. And they tend to come when you don't have an umbrella with you. Every time I get caught in a rain shower I catch cold. All girls want to have good figures. As a girl, I naturally want to have a good figure. But how can I keep a good figure if I eat a lot of ice cream? Yet who can resist a delicious dish of vanilla or strawberry ice cream in summer? One more spoonful and I will probably put on one more pound. So can you honestly expect me to love summer?

　第二篇：

　In summer, the weather is hot, the air is humid, and the wind doesn't blow at all. In summer, everything seems tired——except the mosquito and the fly. They are everywhere. They bring diseases to people. No one likes to walk or work under the summer sun. Because the wicked sun will burn your skin. So the hot summer confines you to your room. Hot weather makes me drowsy and I can't study effectively. I hate summer. I wish it would go away quickly.
