    1. “at the beach” is alright, Marta, but I think “on the beach” would be even better here.
      “in the summer” is fine and more typical than “in summer” which is however also possible.
      There’s one more problem which you haven’t noticed…

    1. Very quick off the mark, Giovanna. Well done.
      Personally, I prefer the seasons with the article and I think it is actually more common in everyday English.

      1. HI TONY,
        I PERSONALLY PREFER SEASONS WITHOUT ANY “THE” ARTICLE BECAUSE IT’S CONSIDERED AS A CATEGORY. AS A USE OF ENGLISH, I AGREE WITH YOU.
