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 readshe would sit down beside me and ask me about all kinds of things at the college. To please herI told her one thing after anotherand soon I forgot all about books. Even when I was actually readingshe would now and theninsist 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!
