     The summer vacation is over. It's true that time always flies 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, which took me three hours or more. I worked quite hard and made great progress (進(jìn)步).
     I spent the afternoon outside. I went to swim and it was funny. I would not go home until it was 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. I not only studied well, but also became a good swimmer.
Now I am in good health and high spirits (精神).
