Summertime In Minnesota Is Lovely!
Some people like living in the Northern states in America because they have four distinct seasons. Summer is extremely hot and winter is freezing cold. Spring is easily distinguishable with the budding trees and blooming flowers, and fall feels like fall because of the pretty leaf colors and the crisp fall air. My favorite season is the summertime. In Minnesota, the state where I grew up, many families own boats and spend all weekend out on the lake. People water-ski, ride on inflatable tubes, and fish from their boats. Sometimes people just “take the boat out for a spin.” It feels so nice to have the wind blowing through one’s hair and to hear the waves splash up against the boat!
中文翻译
许多美国人都喜欢住在北部地区，因为那儿四季分明；夏天酷热而冬日酷寒，春季万树抽枝，百花盛开。秋季红叶飘飘，秋风送爽。我最喜欢夏天。在我的家乡明尼苏达州，许多家庭拥有游艇并在周末出游，去滑水，去钓鱼。有时候有些人只是开船出去 “兜兜风”，风儿吹过发稍，波浪拍打着船身，那感觉真好！
