This year's summer vacation was most enjoyable. I spent fifteen days helping my grandparents doing farm work in the countryside， where I saw mountains fields covered with green plants. Sometimes I went swimming in the river to the west of the village， the water in which was quite clear.

　　I kept a diary every day. Besides doing farm work， I help the children in the neighborhood with their lessons. All of them showed interest in English. They could read write wellthey could hardly understand simple English. So every day in the morning I spent about two hours helping them improve their listening spoken English. They all made great progress. Their parents all thought highly of me. I now realize that knowledge is very needed in the countryside.

　　今年的暑假是最愉快的。我花了十五天幫助我的爺爺奶奶在鄉(xiāng)下做農(nóng)活，在那里我看到了山上覆蓋著綠色植物的田野。有時(shí)我去村子西邊的河里游泳，那里的水很清澈。

　　我每天記日記。除了做農(nóng)活，我還幫助鄰居家的孩子學(xué)習(xí)功課。他們都對(duì)英語(yǔ)感興趣。他們讀得很好，幾乎不懂簡(jiǎn)單的英語(yǔ)。所以每天早上我花了大約兩個(gè)小時(shí)幫助他們提高聽(tīng)力口語(yǔ)。他們都取得了很大的進(jìn)步。他們的父母都對(duì)我評(píng)價(jià)很高。我現(xiàn)在認(rèn)識(shí)到農(nóng)村需要知識(shí)。
