How I Spent My Summer Vacation
Summer can be very hot in southern Taiwan where the temperature usually goes up to 32"C or more. Because of the heat it is a trying experience to go to school or do anything else in a place that is not air-conditioned. Also because of this I stay at home most of the time during the summer vacation and occasionally go to the beach to plunge myself into the cool water as a way to keep my body less sticky.
Actually I like swimming think nothing is more refreshing than a swim. In the summer vacation that has ended I went swimming many times with my classmates we all had a good time. This summer vacation, however, was not spent entirely in seeking fun. As a second-year senior student I had to prepare myself for the college entrance examinations that were a year away.
In other words, I must find time to study, too. So I divided my time between work play during the summer vacation derived benefit from this arrangement.

Waiting
We were sitting in the classroom quietly, waiting for the invigilator. We were anxious to get the examination paper and see whether it was easy or difficult.
The invigilator came into the classroom. He first looked around. Then he counted the papers. We could only hear the papers'fricative. I had a look at my watch. We would be examined in eight minutes. I felt a bit nervous. I thought to myself,"Will the exam be easy or difficult? Will the last question be very hard for me to work out?"The invigilator began to deliver us the papers. I had been ready. As soon as I got the paper, I began to write quickly. At this, the invigilator said loudly,"You can't write until the bell rings".I felt sorry for that. I watched the hands of the clock and thought hard. I counted quietly,"four minutes, three minutes, two minutes,thirty seconds, twenty-five seconds""Ding" The bell rang. We picked up our pens and began to write quietly.
What a long time we had been waiting!
