I want to wake up early in the morning, look through the window, and see the life and more on the streets. In the evening, I would have closely to each place.

I love the rebirth of growing things, leaves on the trees, green grass. Butterflies, bees and dragonflies litter the air, birds singing and hot-weather bugs clicking and buzzing at each other on a warm evening. I love a tall cold drink on a hot day, ice crackling as you pour the drink, little droplets that run down the side of the glass. I love the smell of rain hitting the hot asphalt during a summer shower, the sound of thunder, the flash of lightning, the feel of warm water running down the back of my neck when I get caught in a sudden downpour. I love the smell of newly mown lawn, the sound of a lawn mower off in the distance. I love the vines climbing the pool fence, the honeysuckle perfuming the entire yard. I love the color of the pool when the sun shines. I love watching the Koi doing their quiet ballet in the pond, mouthing at the surface in hope of food every time someone walks by. I love how big the Lotus leaves are, the color of the Lotus flowers, the scent wafting gently as you walk by. I love the sun being up late, being able to go out to play with the kids after dinner. I love the graceful dance of the Zachary Tree as the wind moves across the yard. I love the bright colors of the flowers. The scents...oh the scents! I love the apples and pears ripening on the trees, the way the leaves on the grapevines shade and cool me when I sit under the arbor, the smell of ripening grapes. I love that I have to chase the birds away from the grapes if I want any. I love the chirping of the newborn birds in the birdhouses, the mother and father bird flitting back and forth with bugs and worms. I love riding my bicycle along our tree-lined street...feeling warm and cool in the dappled shade. I love walking in the woods with the kids, turning over rocks and logs looking for salamanders. I love the earthy smell of the dirt and leaf litter in the woods, the way moss makes a green carpet to lie on. I love lying down in the Princess Pines and pretending to be a giant. I love hiking the quiet trails of the Blue Hills, finding places that haven't seen a person since the Wampanoags lived there. I love climbingthe rocks on the face of Big Blue, looking out over the highway from so high, that you can't even hear the cars as they go by. I love sitting on the steps in the pool with the water up to my neck. I love the taste of a banana colada. I love the look of my wife with the sandal tan on her feet, and strands of her hair bleached out to light blonde from the sun. I love not having to put on a coat when I go out. I love the quiet hum of a fan on a hot evening, sitting on the porch with a good book and a frozen daiquiri. I love being able to just sit around on a lazy day and not have anywhere to go. I love watching the sun set over the ocean.36. What custom from your home country are you most fond of? Describe the custom and explain why you are fond of it.37.

What is your favorite way of getting around? Describe it and explain why it is you r favorite means of transportation.My favourite way of getting around is my motorbike. I can use my motorbike for going to school or college, attending office or business, shopping or socializing and numerous daily activities. The life has become very fast and time is extremely scarce. We have to cope with the work and the business for which a motorbike is a great help. Motorbike is compact and less expensive because it consumes less gasoline (Petrol). It emits less exhaust gas and heat as compared to three and four wheelers. This helps in conservation of resources and protects environment from pollution and global warming. Hence motorbike is my favourite means of transportation.My favorite means of transportation is a car. I got this car when I was 19 years old. First I used to travel on a bus, but after getting the car my life got a lot of easier and felt that car was a necessity rather than a luxury. First I used to travel on a bus and I never reached my destination on time. There was a day when I missed a bus and due to that I also missed my exam so I got a zero on my exam. I think that the use of a car enables a person to reach on time and it also protects a person from bad weather. There are also some disadvantages attached to the use of car as it is very expensive to keep a car and a person also has to pay for the maintenance charges. Cars also create pollution and traffic congestion.I still feel that the benefits of using a car outweigh the drawbacks and more and more people in this world are trying to get their own car.。
