July 7 2009
It was the second day of our summer holiday. I felt good. I felt I am free. I had a lot of time to do things I like. My parents are in Zhongshan. So I live alone but I don’t feel lonely. But I didn’t do something special. I stayed at home and watched TV. Oh! I wrote an Englishdaily composition. It was my homework. Today, I have slept for 14 hours.I thought I was very tired. It was time for dinner. I must go! I am very hungry.
July 10 2009
I am planning to spend my summer holiday on sports this year. Playing basketball is always my favourite, so some of my classmates and I will form a small team and play basketball together. Sometimes we may have a match against some other teams and I do enjoy the sense when we win the game.
July 24 2009
I have rested for 10 days. In these days, I felt very bored. I didn’t know to do what. Although I had a lot of things to do, I felt uncomfortable. I was ill because of the hot weather. I was tired, sleepy and had no strength. My parents are worried about my health. in fact, it didn’t matter. I was always in the room with air-conditioner and opened it in a low temperature. So when I went out, the high temperature disagreed to me.At last, I was ill.
August 6 2009
It was sunny today. I was excited. I got up at a quarter to seven. I made a appointment to meet at nine o’clock. After I had my breakfast, I went to the Wanjia Market . It was hot outside. When I arrived, my friends didn’t arrive. I waited for him in front of the KFC’s door. I haven’t seen them for a year. And in a year, we didn’t come into contact with others frequently. About ten minutes left, my friends arrived one by one. After we greeted,we went to play basketball in Liwan Gymnasium. The match last for tow hours.Oh!I fill very happy today!
August 7 2009
Yesterday we played happily, but there were only ten people. I remembered last year there were twenty-two people at all. I heard some my friends had gone abroad. They went abroad to study. Maybe I couldn’t see them in the future. I think next year we won’t make a party. Next year is a very important year. We all will prepare the new term’s new subject.I know, it is the most important for us now.
August 17 2009
Today, I still went to my mother’s office. My mother was very busy, so was my father. They always live in Beijing. They must get up early. Because they will manage the factory. So I know they are very laborious. So I should save my money. Also I should help them. Although I can’t do something useful, but I think I should share the work with them. I am one of my family member. In the future, I will take a job and work. It’ time for me to begin to learn how to work.
August 18 2009
I have rested for a week. I began to feel bored. So I went out with my friends. They are my best friends in the middle school. We didn’t go to someplace special. We just saw the other. We had lunch together. While we were having lunch, we were still talking about the new school and new friends. Yes! A year later, we have grown riper. And we learned much more things and got new life. We haven’t enough time to play, to waste and to lose the way. We only have two years. Two years to go, we will get the real life which belongs to us.
August 19 2009
I have stayed in Shanghai alone for a week. It’s time for me to go to my real home—it is in Beijing. My parents are waiting for me. Although outside is no matter how beautiful, Beijing is still my home. In fact, there is many fresh things. Like red bayberries. In the afternoon, I took a bus to Beijing. I was very unlucky that my mp3 was stolen. I was very sad. I didn’t know why thieves went to steal other’s things. Why don’t they hunt for a job? I don’t why! I hope there is no thief in our motherland.

这是我们第二天的暑假。我感觉很好。我觉得我很自由。我有很多时间做我喜欢。我的父母都在中山。所以，我独自生活，但我并不感到孤独。但是，我没有做什么特别。我住在家里看电视。噢！我写了一篇英语日记。这是我的功课。今天，我睡了14 个小时.我以为我很疲惫。现在是吃晚饭。我必须去！我非常渴望。

我计划暑假做运动。打篮球是我最喜欢的，所以我的一些同学和我将组建一个小团队，一起打篮球。有时，我们可能有一些其他的比赛队伍和我喜欢的感觉，当我们赢了这场比赛。
2009年7月24日
我已经休息了10天。在这些日子里，我觉得很无聊。我不知道做什么。虽然我有很多事e69da5e6ba907a64364情要做，我觉得不舒服。我生病是因为炎热的天气。我累了，困了，也没有力气。我的父母担心我的健康。事实上，这并不重要。我总是在房间，空调开着低温。因此，当我走了出去，我受不了高温。
2009年8月6日
这是今天阳光明媚。我很兴奋。我六时四十五分起床。然后，我吃早餐，我去了万家超市。外面很热。当我到达，我的朋友们并没有到。我在前面的肯德基的门口等。我们一年没见了。这一年我们没有频繁的联系。约10分钟后，我的朋友们一个个来了。然后，我们去荔湾体育馆打球。这场比赛持续4个小时.我非常高兴今天弥补了。
2009年8月7日
昨天，我们玩得很高兴，但只有10人。我记得去年有22人在所有。我听到一些我的朋友已经出国。他们去国外学习。也许我没有看到他们的未来。我想明年我们将不聚会。明年是非常重要的一年。我们都将编制新的学期新计划.我知道，最重要的是现在。
2009年8月17号
今天，我仍然去了我母亲的办公室。我的母亲是非常繁忙的，我父亲也是。他们一直在北京。他们必须早起。因为他们将负责管理工厂。所以我知道他们是非常艰苦的。所以，我要省我的钱。我应该帮助他们。虽然我不能做一些有益的，但我想我应该分享他们的工作。我相信我作为一个家庭成员。是时间了，我开始学习如何工作。
2009年8月18号
我已经休息了一个星期。我开始觉得无聊。所以，我和我的朋友一起出去。他们是我中学最好的朋友。我们没有去的地方特别。我们刚才看到的。我们共进午餐。虽然我们吃午饭，我们仍然谈论新学校和新朋友。是！一年后，我们已经发展成熟。我们学到了很多东西，得到更多的新生活。我们还没有足够的时间来浪费。我们只有两年。两年来的时候，我们将得到真正的属于我们的生活。
2009年8月19号
我留在上海有了一个星期。是时候去我真正的家----北京了。我的父母在等我。虽然外面无论多么美丽，北京仍然是我的家。事实上，有许多新鲜的东西。下午，乘公交车到北京来。我非常不走运，我的MP3被偷走。我感到非常难过。我不知道为什么小偷偷走了其他的东西。他们为什么不找工作？我不明白原因！我希望没有小偷。
I am a luck man. My dear wife, my little son and me consiste a very happy family. My wife is a atractive beauty. She is teaching Biology in a local middle school. I am a teacher too. I teach Chinese Language. My son is less than one year old. He is so cute and very smart.
My wife and I are not working in the same place. So usually we can not work together. In spare time, I usually play basketball with some of my colleagues. At the weekends,I always stay with my wife.
My family often go to cinema together in our spare. My son is so clever that he can say "Dad" "Mom" and a few simple words as his baby age. A week ago, my baby son has started to learn how to walk. now he can walk a short distance without any help. You can not imagine how glad my and I am with this.
I love my wife and my son very much. As I said before, I have a very warm and happy family.
我跟几个办公室的同事一块儿去的。
