My Summer Vacation
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!
My Summer Vacation
Last summer I spent a two-week vacation at my aunt's place.My aunt lived alone in a mountain village,with a small river winding its course everyday.
One morning I went fishing in the river,where two women washed clothes.I fimnd a most favorable point.Casting out my line I waited anxiously for a bite.Suddenly there came a cry:"Help!Help!" I looked in the direction of the call and saw a boy falling into the river.Throwing the fishing pole,I dashed over like an arrow,jumped into the river and swam very quickly towards the boy.Then together with his mother I carried the boy on my back to a nearby hospital.That boy was saved.The mother gave me a thousand thanks.
Back to my fishing place,I fimnd my fishing pole floating on the water.I managed to get it.But to my great surprise,there was a big fish on the hook.
