[00:00.30]Hot and Cold|[00:02.46] I notice that whenever it is summer,|[00:04.32] people complain about the heat, but whenever it is|[00:07.93] winter, people complain about the cold.|[00:10.73] It seems that people are never satisfied.|[00:13.97] I don't like the winter.|[00:16.45] It is usually much too cold for me.|[00:18.94] My teeth chatter, and my fingers turn numb|[00:22.17] whenever the weather gets cold.|[00:24.48] It is hard for me to warm up once I start to freeze.|[00:27.96] I try to wear layers of clothes,|[00:30.57] but winter winds go through my clothes|[00:32.75] no matter how much I wear.|[00:34.99] My feet feel like they are blocks of ice|[00:37.42] on a cold January day when I walk home from school.|[00:41.09] I would not like to live in a place|[00:43.33] that had a cold climate all year long.|[00:45.82] I am not comfortable when it is too cold.|[00:48.55] I like the summer.|[00:51.04] Some people say|[00:51.91] that it is hot and sticky in the summer,|[00:54.02] but I don't mind the heat at all.|[00:56.45] I love to feel the warm sunshine on my skin.|[01:00.06] I like the freedom of not having|[01:02.18] to wear heavy coats and boots.|[01:04.60] I am the happiest when there is a slightly cool breeze|[01:07.71] that comes along to refresh you on a hot summer day.|[01:10.82] I could live in a place with a hot climate.|[01:13.44] I would enjoy that.|[01:15.05] Of course, when you are in a place with a hot climate|[01:18.79] there are more bugs than in places with cooler climates.|[01:21.83] I don't care for bugs.|[01:23.64] Where I live, it is very humid.|[01:26.44] The heat and moisture combine|[01:28.55] to make it uncomfortable sometimes.|[01:30.85] It is nicer when the heat is high, but the humidity is low.|[01:35.10] It would be better if I lived somewhere where it was hot,|[01:38.20] but not humid.|[01:39.76] That would be just perfect.
