This Summer

Settle down, class, ” said the teacher. “ Summer vacation is coming soon. Today I want you to write about what you will do. ” This assignment is easy! I will write about going to my grandparents’ house. They live up north beside a large lake. The lake is so clear that I can see right to the bottom.

“安静下来，同学们，”老师说。“暑假马上就要到了。今天我想要你可以写下你将要做的事情。” 这项任务很简单！我将写关于去我祖父母家的事。 他们住在北边一个大湖旁。湖水清澈，我可以看到湖底。

Early in the morning, my grandfather and I will go fishing on his boat. If we are lucky, we will catch a big fish. It is very quiet and peaceful on the lake. After lunch we will do many chores. I like helping my grandfather mow the lawn. He has a big lawn mower that I can ride. We will also clean the boat. My grandfather will check the engine. I will polish the inside and outside of the boat.

一大早，我和爷爷将在他的船上钓鱼。如果我们运气好，我们会钓到一条大鱼。湖面上很安静，很平静。 午饭后我们将做许多家务。我喜欢帮爷爷修剪草坪。 他有一台我能骑的大割草机。我们还将清理船。我祖父将检查发动机。我会把船的内外擦亮。

After we do the chores, I will be able to play. Last year I made a fort high up in a tall tree. Some friends will come and play in my tree fort. We will do many fun things together.

我们做完家务后，我就可以玩了。去年我在一棵大树上建造了一座堡垒。 一些朋友会来我的树堡玩。我们将一起做很多有趣的事情。

My friends and I will also go to the beach. At the beach we will build a sand castle. Last year we made one that was almost as tall as I was. At five o’clock my grandmother will barbecue hamburgers. We’ll also eat corn on the cob. My grandmother is the best cook in the world!

我和我的朋友也将去海滩。我们将在海滩上建造一座沙堡。去年我们做了一个几乎和我一样高的。 五点钟，我的祖母将烧烤汉堡包。我们也会吃玉米棒。我奶奶是世界上最好的厨师！

After dinner my grandparents and I will watch the sunset. The sun looks very beautiful as it sets over the lake. At night we will sit around a fire pit. My grandfather will tell me stories. Sometimes we roast marshmallows for s’mores. Soon I will get tired, and it will be time for bed. But I don’t mind going to bed. I will be able to do everything again the very next day. I really love—

晚饭后，我和祖父母将观看日落。当太阳落在湖面上时，看起来非常美丽。 晚上我们将围坐在火坑周围。我爷爷会给我讲故事。有时我们烤棉花糖给更多的人吃。 很快我就会累了，该睡觉了。但我不介意睡觉。第二天我就可以再做所有的事情了。我真的很喜欢-

“ Time’s up! ” said the teacher. “ Please hand in your stories. ” Oh no! I haven’t started writing yet!

时间到了！”老师说。“请交上你的故事。” 哦，不！我还没有开始写作！
