       The summer vacation is over. It's true that time always flew fast.

       During the vacation, the weather was hot and I could not do much work, but I lived happily.

       As the afternoon was hot, I did my work in the morning. I used to get up at 6:30 and take a walk in

the garden for half an hour. After breakfast, I began reading English and Chinese and did some exercises

in maths. These would take me three hours or more. I worked quite hard and I believe I made good

progress.

       I spent the afternoon outside. I went to swim and it was full of fun. I would not go home until it was

late at about five or six o'clock. Sometimes a friend of mine would come to see me and we would spend

some hours listening to music.

       In this way I spent my vacation happily. And I not only studied well but also became a good swimmer. Now I am in good health and high spirits.
