The Definition Essay

How would you feel, while you’re tanning yourself in a steaming hot sun, during the summer, temperature that is about 43 degrees Celsius? If I was in that situation, I would’ve been roasted, like a roasted beef. Some people would like to be tanned. The purpose of this essay is to define the definition of summer and what special activities there are. I’m going to define the comparison, some negations, and how we use summer.
A season summer is like a “Jjim-jil-bang.” Jjim-jil-bang is like a sauna, where you to the little hot room and sweat yourself. Old people, who’s about 50-70 years old, likes to be in the sauna than young people. Well, some of them hate hot room. The difference though is that you have to wear clothes when you go inside. However, in Sauna, since it’s in the public bathing place, you just have to get in with naked. I hate Jjim-jil-bang because I hate to be in a hot place.
I’m going to explain the negations of summer. Summer is not cold, temperature doesn’t fall below 0, which means it’s not a winter. People don’t where thick clothes, such as jacket with feathers inside, fur hats, boots made out of animal’s skin, and other clothes. At summer, we don’t snow fight, we don’t turn on the heater inside the building, rivers and lakes don’t freeze, all the leaves aren’t gone from trees. When guys sleep, they don’t where pajamas, but usually just where an underwear. Summer doesn’t have holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, New year, and Easter day.
At summer people do lots of special activities. There are good things and bad things we do in summer. To me, one of my favorite vacation is summer vacation because we have 2 and a half months, and we can relax during these days. However, if people are going to high school, they need to be ready for it and fresh their minds. High school is really important because in middle school, grades didn’t count. When you get into high school, grades are so important that people see your academic reports and choose if he or she is a good student and choose which university they need to go to. Students in Korean school mostly doesn’t rest. They go to hag won or the institution every single day, and they get ready for the test, which is very important for them to go a good college. Since they go to the institution everyday, without a very little rest, they would get lots of stress. Other bad thing is we spend too much money on buying cold foods and snacks, light clothes, and traveling inside or outside of country. Our family usually travel outside of country with relatives and costs lots of money. I hope we don’t do that very much. Back to good things people do in summer. They can relax themselves in the house, turning on the air conditioner, and do what ever they want. People are more active at night than afternoon because it’s really hot at that time. If you go at night the wind blows a little, and it’s great to do some activities, such as sports and hanging out with friends, but not too long. Lazy people would just stay inside and sleep. When summer comes, people go for swimming. Swimming is lots of fun. Children can enjoy playing in the water and they can exercise with friends. It’s also good for older people exercise. Indoor swimming is better than outdoor because they might have heat stroke. I once experienced a heat stroke, 2 years ago at Philippines. How it happened? Well, listen. I was recording my family, I had no hats or materials to protect against the sun. So I stayed in hot weather for a long time and started to get dizzy, and I felt hot. The doctor told me that I had a heatstroke. I should worn people, who didn’t get a heatstroke to not to stay in hot place for a long time. Once again, summer is my worst season ever. I’ll explain the definition of summer, in my own words.
The definition of summer is the season between the month of June and the September, season between spring and autumn, and it’s the hottest season. If the northern hemisphere is summer, the southern hemisphere is the winter because the earth is tilted in about 23.5 degrees and if the northern hemisphere faces the sun, then it’s summer. It means that the Earth is closer to the sun.
