导语：小编已经没有暑假，你今年暑假准备做什么呢?下面是生活日记小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

　　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 only 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 and think nothing is more refreshing than a swim. In the summer vacation that has just ended I went swimming many times with my classmates and 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 only a year away. In other words, I must find time to study, too. So I divided my time between work and play during the summer vacation and derived much benefit from this arrangement.

　　台湾南部的夏天会很热，那里的温度通常会达到32℃以上。因为天气炎热，去学校或在没有空调的地方做任何事情都是一次艰难的经历。也正因为如此，暑假期间我大部分时间都待在家里，只是偶尔去海边泡冷水，以此来保持身体不那么粘。其实我喜欢游泳，认为没有什么比游泳更提神的了。在刚刚结束的暑假里，我和同学们去游泳了很多次，我们都玩得很开心。然而，这个暑假并不是完全花在寻找乐趣上。作为一名二年级的学生，我不得不为即将入学一年的大学入学考试做准备。换句话说，我也必须抽出时间学习。所以我在暑假期间把工作时间和工作时间分开，并从这一安排中受益匪浅。

　　I spent this summer vacation in quite a different way. I used to run about every day in previous summer vacations, but this summer vacation I simply could not afford to do so. I would soon be in the last year of my high-school education and would after graduation be up against the college entrance examinations. Though those examinations were still a year away, I had to start early to make myself well prepared by reviewing all those things I had learned at school and this summer vacation was the ideal time for me to do this. At first I was rather dismayed at the thought of this, but later I thought it was better this way because by working hard this summer I could count on endless happy summers to come. With this in mind I then set to work like anything and only occasionally went out for a change or did some physical. I was not at all bored by this kind of life, for I was sustained by a hope.

　　我用一种完全不同的方式度过了这个暑假。过去的暑假我每天都跑来跑去，但今年暑假我实在做不到。我很快就要上高中教育的最后一年了，毕业后就要面对高考了。虽然这些考试还不到一年，但我不得不早早地复习我在学校学到的所有东西，准备好自己的准备，而这个暑假正是我做这件事的理想时间。一开始我很沮丧，但后来我觉得这样更好，因为今年夏天我努力工作，我可以指望无数个快乐的夏天到来。考虑到这一点，我开始像任何事情一样工作，只是偶尔出去换一个或做一些体力活。我对这种生活一点也不厌烦，因为我被希望所支撑。
