I spent this summer vacation in quite a different way. I used to run about every day in previous summer vacations,this summer vacation I simply could not afford to do so. I would soon be in the last year of my high-school education 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 this summer vacation was the ideal time for me to do this. At first I was rather dismayed at the thought of this,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 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.
我以完全不同的方式度过这个暑假。在以前的暑假我曾经每天都跑步，这个暑假我几乎没有能力去做。在我的高中教育的最后一年我即将毕业然后参加高考。虽然离高考还有一年的时间，我必须提前让自己早点开始复习，这个暑假对我来说是理想的时间准备复习在学校学习到的知识。起初我很沮丧，后来我觉得这更有益，因为在今年夏天我要努力学习，接下来就指望无尽快乐的夏天到来。想到这我就开始拼命学习，偶尔出去做些运动。我一点也不讨厌这样的生活，我希望我可以坚持。
