1) Summertime is a magical moment in the course of a year, and each summer vacation represents a brief period of freedom in a long life of serious labor, expanding responsibilities, and increasingly heavy obligations. About a month or so before the summer holidays arrive, young people tend to begin thinking a lot about how they are going to spend their free time after classes finish in late July. University students are especially interested in the upcoming vacation time because they are usually so busy with new ideas, homework assignments and complex concepts from their academic courses that they seldom can find time during the semester to do anything else besides studying, doing part-time work and practicing special skills. The students in this year are no different. Everyone is anxious about the upcoming summer vacation. In fact, when they were given a chance to pick a topic for this essay, and select it from a list of such vital issues as the P.K.O., the environmental crisis and racism, they overwhelmingly voted instead in favor of this topic: summer vacation. That is why I am now typing this essay and weighing carefully the advice I should give to this group of bright, young and impressionable individuals.
2) Yesterday was Spring Festival. Did you guys have a good time?
I don’t think I had a Spring Festival at all. My father got four days’ holiday, but my mother needed to go to work,so I must stayed at home with my father who kept watching me doing my revisions.
I could not relax at all. I could only take short breaks during meal times. I never went out and have little time for TV and internet. I am fed up with having so many books, worksheets and my own notes to read. It was so different from our primary school, when we usually have a long and happy Winter holiday after the mid-term exam. Please help me God!
