The Winter

   I hate the winter most because it is too cold.

  If the weather is cold, people sometimes get sick easily for not wearing enough clothes, scarves, or gloves. Besides, I do not feel comfortable swimming in the cold pool during the winter.

  All in all, the winter is not so much fun for me to enjoy.

Camilla’s Corner:

Dear Children,

  One of the exciting parts about writing is that you can let what you think and how you feel all hang out. Even though your life experience is not that pleasant, you can write it all down. Miraculously, you will find a way out and those displeasing feelings might gradually disappear. It is a kind of self-healing through writing. Do you have any thing that bothers you a lot? Try to describe all the details of the matter that confuses you every day. Your diary can be your best friend as well!

Love,

Camilla
