My summer vacation of this year was very enjoyable. I went to the countryside to spend my summer holidays. It is very beautiful there. There are green plants, clear rivers, lovely animals and kind people. I spent two weeks helping my grandfather do some farm work there. I wrote down what happened in my diary every day.

　　Besides that, I helped the children in the neighbourhood with their lessons. I helped them read English and improve their spoken English. Their parents thanked me for this.

　　今年的暑假生活非常愉快。我去農村過暑假。那兒非常美麗，有綠色的植物，清澈的小河，可愛的動物和善良的人們。在那里的兩周中我幫爺爺干了些農活。每天我在日記中記下所發生的事情。

　　除了這些，我還幫助鄰居家的孩子做功課。我幫他們讀英語，使他們的口語有所提高。他們的父母為此很感激我。

　　I liked not only the scene of the countryside, but also the people there. I helped them to do farm work. I also helped the children in the neighbourhood with their lessons. The children were interested in English. They were good at reading and writing, but did not do well in listening and speaking. I helped them improve their listening and speaking. Their parents thought highly of me. I realized that knowledge is greatly needed in the countryside.

　　我不僅喜歡那里的景色，而且喜歡那里的人。我幫他們干農活，幫助鄰家的孩子復習功課。孩子們對英語很感興趣，他們在讀、寫方面很好，但聽、說不好。我幫助他們提高聽、說能力，他們的父母高度贊揚了我。我意識到農村確實需要知識。

　　My Summer Vacation-我的暑假生活

　　At college, I missed my parents a lot. As the term was drawing to an end, I eagerly looked forward to going home. And I planned to do a thousand and one things during the vacation. Above all, I wanted to help my mother with housework. I also wished to read many hooks which my teachers had recommended.

　　However, at home, my mother would never let me do anything. She completely deprived me of sharing her work. As soon as I opened a book to read,she would sit down beside me and ask me about all kinds of things at the college. To please her,I told her one thing after another,and soon I forgot all about books. Even when I was actually reading,she would, now and then,insist that I should eat an egg or drink a cup of tea.

　　When I left home at the end of the vacation, not a thing in my plan had been carried out. But I felt very happy. I believed much more deeply than before in the old saying: Home, sweet home. There's no place like home!
