I think the most terrible thing in life for my little brother is getting up in the morning. He is almost sick when my mother calls, "Herbert! It's seven o'clock! Get up!"

Herbert answers, "I'm coming!" and goes right back to sleep. I'm not at all like my brother. I don't like to go to bed at night but I don't mind getting up in the morning. I usually wake up before my mother calls me. I jump out of bed and go into the bathroom to take a shower. I get dressed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, and get ready to go downstairs for breakfast as soon as my mother calls.

But not Herbert. He just sleeps. A military band (军乐队) in our bedroom could not wake him up. I call him and say, "Get up! Mum will be up here to pull you out of bed if you don't get up immediately!"

But he just sleeps. After calling a few more times my mother has to come upstairs and pull Herbert out of bed. It's that way every day with my little brother. Perhaps some day he'll learn to get up on time, but I really don't think so.

When I was a kid, I liked summer best. 36 ?  Because I could do what I like. I could go 37 at the pool. I could 38 my beautiful skirts. And of course there 39 no school. But autumn (秋天) is my 40 season now.

Summer is too hot, so I always 41 in the house. I 42 like it. Winter is usually too 43 . I don’t like to go outside and I have to wear lots of warm clothes. In spring (春天) it usually rains. It’s my second favorite season.

Autumn is the best. It isn’t too hot 44 too cold. The temperature (温度) is 45 18℃and 22℃. It’s a great time of the year. I like it.
