Summer is Better than Winter Persuasive Essay By Libby Alley

        Do you enjoy free time? Being able to wake up in the morning and have no worries about schedules, plans or work? That’s what summer is. A time during the year meant for a break and maybe a rest.  A time meant for you to do whatever you want and be yourself. That is why I am writing a persuasive essay titled “Summer is better than Winter.”  I believe that summer will always be less stressful and a time easier to do what you want to do. But resting is not the only thing summer has to offer. There are other things that make summer such an enjoyment!

         Some of you live in Florida (or used to),  and you know cold weather is more rare than it is in other places. (One time I had to wear a T-shirt near the end of December!)  Honestly, there are many ways that warmer weather is best.  Clearly winter is very cold, so you need to be prepared. Gloves,  coats, hats, scarves,  the list goes on and on, and all to stay warm. In my family,  we have bins full of all the things you need in cold winter. But in the summertime, you need to have nothing more than a T-shirt, a pair of shorts or a skirt, and shoes. (I prefer barefeet.) No heavy layers included!

           Are you interested in sports or activities? If so, then summer is a good season for you! A lot of activities and sports happen in this season. Softball, baseball and tennis to name a few.  There are also lots of different water activities that many different people enjoy. Even my littlest sister likes the pool, and she isn’t even 2 years old yet! The list of water activities includes diving, surfing, snorkeling,  and just normal swimming! The water is always a highlight of summer.

          And what about all the wonderful foods and snacks that you can’t have and enjoy in winter? There are nice and cold snacks like popsicles and ice cream, for one. Summer is the best season to enjoy cold but tasty snacks on a hot day. There are foods like hot dogs, popcorn, and BBQ . I haven’t even mentioned the seasonal fruits and vegetables that sweeten summer even more. Tomatoes, watermelon, corn on the cob, peaches, the list goes on and on. Summer foods are always easy, fun, and DELICIOUS!

          Summer is simple, fun, and carefree. You can do so many things. I hope that my writing has inspired you to enjoy and discover summer in a different way. If you love warm weather, sports, and good food, than summer is the season for you!
