22 septembre. Il fait très chaud et il y a beaucoup de soleil. Le soleil est fort et la

degrés C. Le ciel est bleu.

anniversaire est aussi en 'été – le 28 juin. Généralement, mes amis et moi allons à la
piscine pour beaucoup d'heures. Nous jouons aussi au volley sur la plage, au football
et badminton. D'habitude, ma meilleure amie, Aanya et moi allons au cinéma.En été,

un chapeau ou une casquette. Je porte un tee-shirt, un short, une jupe, ou une robe.
Je porte des sandales ou des savates.
