Summer is full of fun. It always makes people excited.
The best part of summer in Japan is the summer festivals. People sell food and toys along the roads. Others walk around. They all wear yukata, a kind of traditional Japanese summer clothing. It’s light and colourful. Boys and girls play festival games. Goldfish scooping(捞) is very popular, but it is a little arduous. They can only use a paper spoon and it easily breaks. Later at night there are big firework shows.
Summer in the UK is cool. The temperature is around 20 ℃. The cool weather is good for people to play outdoor sports. Cricket(板球) is a popular summer sport. Two teams take turns hitting a ball with a wooden bat. The country also holds big cricket games in summer.
