With the early birds’ chirping and the blooming of vibrantly colored tulips, spring has come. Finally, I thought to myself, the days are getting warmer and nature is springing back to life.

  Never too fond of winter, which restricts outdoor activities, I am elated by the arrival of spring. So, you may ask, what can we do now that spring is here? It is better to ask: What can’t we do? With such good weather the possibilities seem endless! In fact, I have already made plans to do the following: reading and exercising outdoors.

Just imagine the tranquil scene! Beneath the radiant sun and permeating in the air that smells of fresh fragrance and warmth, I sit with a book in my lap.

What a page-turner it is! The plot is dense, the themes are rich and the writing is colorful. Caressed by the occasional springtime breeze and sipping a cup of sweet, refreshing lemonade, I am immersed in the world of the book. My thoughts are carried away with the protagonists as I read. I am relaxed and fully enjoying this bright, amicable season of the year.

In addition to reading, I will take exercise as well. I can do some running, play basketball, or just walk at my own pace. Regardless of the form of exercise, I’m sure I will find spending time outdoors worthwhile.

Nowadays, we are too often preoccupied with schoolwork and other tasks, leaving little time to take a break and relax. In this case, I strongly recommend that we take advantage of the springtime to unwind. Like me, you could pick up a favorite book to read or do some exercise, or you could do whatever you are interested in, be it listening to music or writing out in the open air.

Anyway, find joy in your activity, and more importantly, enjoy the nice weather. The sun is glowing, and the grass is greener than ever. It’s springtime, and it’s time to go out and enjoy ourselves. Have fun!
