PROBLEM: M: Which season do you like the most? ,F: I like summer the most. But at the same time I hate it. I like summer because it's warm. I don't mind the heat and I like the longer days so I can do more activities like swimming, bicycling and many other outdoor activities. I usually take a short vacation during the summer so I always look forward to that. However, the part about summer I hate the most is during the rainy season. When it gets hot along with the rain and the wind, it gets terrible.
(A) M: So, you mean you do not like summer but you enjoy bicycling in the rain in summer, right? (B) M: I didn’t hear you. Please could you tell me again? (C) M: So, you really mind the heat in summer but you enjoy taking a long holiday in summer, right?
