The summer vacation is over. Time always flies fast．During the vacation．the weather was hot and I could not do much work．but I lived happily．

    Because it was hotter in tile afternoon．I did my homework in the morning．I got up at 6：30 am and took a walk in the garden for half an hour．After breakfast，I read English and Chinese and did some math exercises．It took me three hours or more to finish my homework．I worked quite hard and made good progress(进步)．

    I spent the afternoon outside．I went to swim and it was fun．I came home at about five or six o’clock．Sometimes a friend of mine would come to see me，and we would spend half an hour 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 in high spirits(精神)．
