Hi, I’m James. Today I am visiting my friend in Vermont in the United

States. It is the end of the winter and it is really cold. This time of the year
is usually -4 degrees. People usually wear heavy winter clothes like
boots, jackets and scarves, but today is a special day. People are
celebrating the Indian Summer Day. It is a day in the winter where the
temperature rises and it feels like spring. People are wearing shorts,
t-shirts and sneakers and some people are wearing swimsuits to ski. I
don’t care if it is Indian Summer or not, I’m freezing and having a hot
cider right now.
