第二十六天：HOW I SPENT MY SUMMER VACATION 我如何度過暑假
    No sooner had the summer vacation begun than I returned to my native town. Of course I must make good use of it; otherwise I would incur the displeasure of my parents.
    In the morning I reviewed my lessons and read newspapers or magazines. In the afternoon I played ball games with my friends or went fishing in the river. At night (In the night) I watched television with my family (the members of my family). hardly had the clock on the wall struck ten when I went to bed.
    暑假剛一開始，我就回故鄉(xiāng)了。自然我須好好利用它，否則我會(huì)招致父母的不快。
    早晨我復(fù)習(xí)功課并閱讀報(bào)紙或雜志。下午我和朋友打球，或去河中釣魚。晚上我就和家人看看電視。墻上的鐘剛敲十下，我就去睡覺了。

    第二十七天：KNOWLEDGE IS POWER 知識就是力量
    If we have no knowledge, we cannot succeed in doing any work. Why? Because knowledge is power. With knowledge we have conquered nature and invented steamers, trains and airplanes. We can send messages by telegram. We can talk with our friends by telephone.
    As is well known, we students are the future masters of the nation. She (It) needs us very much. If we do not make efforts to acquire knowledge, how can we render service to her (it)?
    如果我們沒有知識，我們就不能做成功任何事情。為什么？因?yàn)橹R就是力量。馮藉知識我們征服了大自然，并且發(fā)明了輪船，火車與飛機(jī)。我們能用電報(bào)傳遞消息。我們能用電話和朋友談話。
    如眾所周知，我們學(xué)生都是國家未來的主人翁。她非常需要我們。如果我們不努力去獲得知識，將來如何來報(bào)效她呢？

    第二十八天：A LETTER TO A FRIEND 一封給友人的信
    Dear X:
    We have not seen each other for a long time. I miss (think of) you very much. I wish (that) I had wings and could fly to your home. However, this is impossible!
    Father (My father) has gone abroad of late. If I had had time then, I would have accompanied him. Only Mother (my mother) and I are at home now (at present). We are leading (living) a quiet and happy life. We look as if we were fairies. I hope (that) I can hear from you very often.
    Sincerely yours.
    親愛的××：
    我們彼此有好久沒有見面了。我十分想我。我希望我有雙翅膀而且能夠飛到你家去。然而，這是不可能的！
    我父親近出國了。我那時(shí)如果有時(shí)間的話，我就會(huì)陪著他去?，F(xiàn)在家里只有我母親和我。我們過著一個(gè)很寧靜而快樂的生活。我們看起來好像神仙似的。希望我能常常接到你的信。
    祝你好
    ××× 敬上
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    第二十九天：CHOOSING FRIENDS 選擇朋友
    A man who is careful in choosing friends will certainly derive benefit from them. Why? Because there are more false friends than real ones in this world. To have one real friends is better than a hundred false ones. Friends who flatter you to your face are not true friends.
    We must make friends with those who have good character and kindness of heart. On the other hand, we should do our best to a void keeping company with bad people.
    一個(gè)小心選擇朋友的人一定會(huì)從他們那里獲得益處。為什么？因?yàn)樵谶@個(gè)世界里假朋友比真朋友要多。有一個(gè)真朋友要比有一百個(gè)假朋友來得好。凡是當(dāng)面奉承你的朋友不是真朋友。
    我們必須和凡是具有良好品格和心地善良的人交朋友。反過來說，我們應(yīng)盡力避免結(jié)交壞人。
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    第三十天：TO RISE EARLY 論早起
    I do not know the reason why some people want to get up late. They will never have the opportunity to enjoy (of enjoying) the fresh air and calmness of the morning. This is indeed a quite regrettable thing.
    To rise early is a good habit (which) we should cultivate. Why? Because the best time when we can pursue our studies is in the morning. In addition, early rising is also good to our health. I hope that everybody our knows the reason why we must rise early.
    我不知道某些人要晚起的理由。他們永不會(huì)有機(jī)會(huì)來享受早晨的新鮮空氣和寧靜。這真是一件 發(fā)令人遺憾的事情。
    早起是我們應(yīng)該養(yǎng)成的一種良好習(xí)慣。為什么？因?yàn)樵绯渴俏覀儚氖聦W(xué)業(yè)的大好時(shí)間。再者，早起對我們健康也有益處。我希望每個(gè)人應(yīng)該知道我們必須早起的理由。
