Last week my grandpa called me. He asked me to spend my vacation with him. He lives in a village in the countryside. It’s small but it’s pretty cool there in summer. The weather is very hot in our city and I often feel bored here. I was very happy and thanked him. I said, “I’m going to visit you when my summer vacation begins.”

On July 5th, my parents and I went shopping and bought some delicious food for my grandpa.

The next morning my father took me to the train station. It was the first time for me to have a train trip alone(独自). I looked out of the window on the train. I found the scenery(风景)was beautiful. I thought the trip was relaxing.

At four in the afternoon the train arrived at the station. I saw my grandpa standing outside when I got off(下车). He was happy when he saw me. His village is about one kilometer from the station so we walked there. I looked around and found the mountains were high and green. I thoughtI could have a good time there.

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.

The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. To often, we spend so much time thinking about the future—for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasure, such as reading a good book, listening to your favourite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.

Another secret to living a happy life to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this, dancing or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.

Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simple help out around the house by washing the dishes.
