Question

How do you spend a usual holiday at home? My alarm clock wakes me, which reminds me of school. I usually would sleep like a log, but today is a holiday and I have to be at the pool for swimming practice at a quarter to seven. About 30 swimmers show up for practice. An hour later, I ride my bike home. The suburbs(郊区) are quiet in the morning, with few cars on the street.

I know I should be studying German but instead I wander(游荡)to my room, lie down on the bed and sleep like a log. When I open my eyes again, the first thing I see is the alarm clock. It’s 10:40 and I have a basketball class in less than 20 minutes. With the help of a shortcut(捷径) I arrive on time. About 15 kids and I spend the rest of the morning “shooting hoops(圈)”.

A bus takes us home，and I see a neighbour walking her dogs. It’s past noon. Lunch is “dousha baozi”(豆沙包子)，which my younger brother Richard doesn’t eat. He devours(吞食) part of a cake from the fridge. I wonder if I should practise on the keyboard, study German, finish my homework, play chess，read or sleep like a log. I decide to play computer games for an hour and promise myself that I’ll work on German later.

As the computer games hit higher and higher levels, Richard and I become more and more bored. He has been aching for(渴望) someone his own age to play with, and I write , he is dozing. He is too sleepy.

I think I’ll turn off this computer and take him to the park. Then maybe I’ll call on some of my old classmates.

Holidays can be a time to learn, a time to play, a time to grow or a time to sleep like a log. Whatever you choose to do with your time, do something that you’ll remember!
