In summer, the weather changes a lot. In this morning, when I send my son to the kindergarten, the weather was breezy and comfortable. I thought it would be a great day. However, when I went to the supermarket, the sky turned to be gray with the gloomy cloud as well as thunder. After a while, it started to rain heavily. I was worried because I didn't take my umbrella, I was afraid that I can't go home after shopping. Fortunately, after half hour later, the rain stopped and it was sunny. The air was so fresh and the sky was clear. This is summer!
