　　Winter break! Two whole weeks without homework－two whole weeks of heaven．Two weeks to relax．I imagined myself getting plenty of sleep．I planned on reading“The Giver”, which I hadn't had time to read．

　　But soon I noticed something：I couldn't sleep．It would be 12∶30 a. m．and I would be trying to fall asleep．I would begin thinking that I haven't done anything today!

　　This happened the next night, and the night after．During the day, when I had free time, I would be pacing(踱步)around the room moaning(抱怨)that I had nothing to do! I was eating when I wasn't hungry．I was playing a computer game even though it was boring．

　　The truth, I concluded, is that relaxation doesn't mean doing nothing．Relaxation means doing something enjoyable．I planned to swim at the local high school．I set up a practice schedule of an hour and a half per day．I decided to read two books that my friend had recommended(推荐)to me．I planned to do a little community service work, volunteering to help at the nearby old people's home for two hours every day．After doing those things, writing e-mails to my friends, watching DVDs and sleeping 12 hours a day, my days are full．And I'm truly having fun relaxing．

　　Of course, some of my earlier wishes have come true．Being free from school work has taken a load off my mind, helped me to get in perspective(洞察力)and brought me back in touch with my family and myself．Getting so much sleep has done wonders for my state of mind．

　　After each past winter break, I haven't been able to say what I did, how I used my time．This winter break will be different．I am relaxing by working．

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I'm here today to share a good lesson with you. It is a true story about an overseas student  【小题1】in Germany.
After years of hard work, this student graduated with amazing achievements. Everyone thought he was going to get a good  【小题2】 easily and have a bright future. But to his disappointment, he was not even given the  【小题3】 for an interview! The third time he was refused, he couldn't help telephoning the company to ask  【小题4】 they didn't want him. The answer was simple. " We don't offer jobs to  【小题5】 people in Germany."
What was wrong, you might wonder? The truth is, shortly after he arrived in Germany, this clever student found that it was 【小题6】to skip buying subway tickets. So  【小题7】save money, he often went without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket in the subway  【小题8】 times.
From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits in dishonest ways, but the truth will  【小题9】sooner or later and the cost is high. So remember: honesty is the  【小题10】 rule.
That's all for my speech. Thank you!
