The summer vacation after the National College Entrance Examination is a time for senior three students to get relaxed.
[范文]
The summer vacation after the National College Entrance Examination is a time for senior three students to get relaxed. Many students are so happy to get away from their studies that they go to one party after another and even drink a lot of beer; they play games online throughout the night and they oversleep even till noon.①
As far as I am concerned, these things are meaningless and even harmful to our health. We should make the most of the special time to do some meaningful things. First, I want to have a good rest to recover from the tiring examination. Then, I'm going to have a tour with my parents to Mount Huang, where I can breathe fresh air and enjoy the beauty of nature.② After that, I will stay at home reading some books to acquire more knowledge.③ Besides, I will make some preparations for my further studies.
In a word, this period of time is so valuable that none of us students should waste it. Let's make full preparations for our future.
[解析] ①“so...that...”为句子增色，另外and连接两个并列句，继续描述高三学生的现状。
②where引导定语从句，介绍自己在黄山可以呼吸新鲜空气，享受自然的美。
③“after that”恰当地连接上下文，reading some books作伴随状语，介绍自己在家里看书获取知识的打算。

From my point of view, it's still of great importance for students to practice writing Chinese characters nowadays. My reasons are as follows：
First of all, handwriting is a kind of art with a long history. We middle school students should treasure the tradition and practice it. Second, a person's handwriting also reveals his character. It allows others to know what kind of person you are, for instance, whether you are careful or not, whether you have patience or not. Of course, good handwriting always makes a good impression on people. Last but not least, practicing handwriting every day will make you calm and patient. These characteristics can lead to success.
In a word, although we are in an age when nearly everything can be done with computers, we still should practice writing Chinese characters.
