Today is the first day of October. It is hard to believe that October has already arrived because it was still very hot until recently. However, the nights have gradually become cooler, and I can feel that autumn is getting closer. I am happy about this because I am not good at hot weather and I prefer cooler temperatures. I enjoy going outside when the weather is cool and comfortable. Also, I really like winter fashion, such as scarves, coats, sweaters, and boots. I think winter clothes are stylish and make me feel warm and cozy. For these reasons, I am looking forward to the coming of winter. I hope I can enjoy the cool autumn weather before winter arrives.
