当七月来临时，它是整个夏天最热的时候。我的许多朋友都选择到凉爽的地方旅行，以免空气变冷。就我而言，我不喜欢在这么热的天气里旅行。我只想呆在家里享受安静的时刻。我喜欢坐在窗边，看外面的风景。有时我会读一些书，欣赏小说，让自己迷失在小说的`世界里。我最喜欢做的事情是找一家咖啡店，然后选择靠近窗户的一张桌子，这样我就能看到所有的情况。我将把我的电脑，然后玩电脑整整一下午。这是我喜欢在夏天做的。我喜欢它。

我喜欢下棋，中国象棋。
当我是个小男孩的时候，村里有一些老人。他们经常在一起下棋。虽然我只有八岁，但我喜欢看他们打球。从那时起，我对它产生了兴趣。
随着时间的推移，我成了一个国际象棋迷。星期日我经常和同学和邻居下棋好几个小时。当我赢了一场比赛，我会高兴得跳起来。下棋能使我聪明、勇敢、小心。
