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?
