I got home at six o'clock in the evening. My mother opened the front door for me.
      "Good evening, Ted." she said. 
      "Good evening, Mum." I answered.
      "Aren't you happy?" she asked.
      "Yes," I answered. "I'm happy, but I'm very hungry."
      "Supper will be ready in half an hour." she said.
      I took off my coat and sat down. My mother sat next to me.
      "Did you catch your train this morning?" she asked.
      "Yes," I answered. "I ran all the way to the station and got there at half past seven."
      "Which train did you catch?"
      "The 7: 40."
      "What time did you get to school?" she asked again.
      "At 8: 05." I answered. "Wasn't the teacher angry?" 
      "No. He wasn't in the classroom. He was late, too. He sat in front of me on the train."

     The summer vacation is over. It's true that time always flies fast. During the vacation, the weather
was hot and I could not do much work, but I lived happily.
     As the afternoon was hot, I did my work in the morning. I used to get up at 6:30 and take a walk
in the garden for half an hour. After breakfast, I began reading English and Chinese and worked on
some maths problems. These took me three hours or more. I worked quite hard and made good
progress(进步).
     I spent the afternoon outside. I went to swim and it was fun. I would not go home until it was about
five or six o'clock. Sometimes a friend of mine would come to see me and we would spend some hours
listening to music.
     In this way I spent my vacation happily. And I not only made up some of my lessons, but also
became a good swimmer. Now I am in good health and high spirits.
