Summer is the most lively season of the year， and it is also my favorite season. In summer， I enjoy the warmth of the sun， feel the vitality（活力）of nature， and spend every day fully and happily.

The sky is blue and the sun is shining. In such weather， I can go swimming， play basketball or play football with my friends. The feeling of swimming in the water makes me feel very comfortable， and sports let me vent a lot of energy. At the same time， summer is a great time for camping and outings. I can explore the mountains in the suburbs with my family， get close to nature， breathe fresh air， and feel the wind blowing on my face. All these activities make me forget the pressure of school， relax and enjoy my vacation time.

Summer brings me a rich and colorful food experience. Summer is the season of fruits， all kinds of fruits such as mangoes， watermelons， grapes are ripe. I like to sit in the shade of a tree on a summer afternoon， tasting the sweet and juicy fruit. In addition to fruits， there are a variety of ice products to choose from in summer， such as ice cream， smoothies， and popsicles. These cool and delicious foods can not only help me beat the summer heat but also leave me feeling surprised and satisfied on the tip of my tongue.

Summer is a season full of energy and happiness for me. The reason why I like summer is that it gives me a colorful entertainment and food experience， and more importantly， it allows me to grow and progress. Summer is my season of laughter， is my season of harvest. I look forward to each summer because it brings me endless memories and opportunities to grow.

In the four seasons， I like spring best.

In this season， everything begins to grow. While you are taking a walk along the river， you will find that fish and shrimps swimming happily in it.

A poem says， “Spring days are windy and bright. What a perfect time to fly a kite！” Spring is the best time to fly a kite and let the March wind bring your kite into the high sky！

As the saying goes， “A year’s plan is in spring and a day’s plan is in the morning.” Spring is important. So enjoy the spring and seize this period to do something valuable.

My favorite season

In the four seasons of a year，I like spring best.

I love enjoying the nice view in spring. In this season， everything starts to grow. Grass comes out of ground then covers it like a big green blanket. Leaves begin to sprout like fairies dancing in the tree. Flowers raise their heads then smile in the sun. What a green and energetic season！

Spring days are windy and bright. What a perfect time to fly a kite！ With the March wind， kites can fly high into the sky. Go hiking with my friends and feel the wind caressing my face. Listening to the sound of leaves shaking gently， I can feel the calm and peace of nature.

The Arbor Day falls in spring. People are busy planting trees. Trees take root downwards and spring turns everything into hope. As the saying goes， “A year’s plan is in spring.” Let’s seize the cheerful time and do something wonderful.
