As a child, I liked spring best, but now my favorite season is summer. It’s usually warm and sunny in the summer months, and there are few storms. I like doing things outside like riding bikes, walking and swimming. Another reason I like summer best is that people seem happier in the summer. There are more hours of sunshine and people have more vacation time.
