Sweat and Smiles: Embracing Summer Homework and Adventures
The arrival of summer vacation always signals a temporary end to school life, and the eagerly awaited time for relaxation and play has finally arrived. But before enjoying this wonderful time, the first thing I have to face is completing the pile of summer homework assigned by the teacher.
Firstly, there is the task of writing diaries. Our teacher requires us to write ten diaries, recording what we see, hear, do, and think during the summer vacation. Every day, I spend some time sitting down to review the day's experiences and record them in writing. This is not only a review of summer life but also a summary of my own growth and experiences.
In addition to writing diaries, there are various exercises waiting for me in the summer homework book. This thick workbook covers exercises in subjects such as Chinese, mathematics, etc. It seems to require a lot of time and effort to complete. However, I know that these exercises are carefully prepared by the teacher for us. Completing them can help me consolidate my knowledge and lay a solid foundation for the new semester's learning.
Although the summer sun is scorching, I am not afraid of sunburn. Every noon, I go out to play with my friends. We catch bees in the mud wall, catch cicadas on the trees, or play soccer and hide-and-seek in the shade of the trees. Although sweat wets my clothes, the joy of those moments cannot be expressed in words.
Fishing for crayfish is an indispensable activity in my summer schedule. After breakfast, I take my fishing net and follow my dad to the stream or fields. The whole afternoon is immersed in this fun activity. When my mom calls me home for dinner, I am reluctant to leave. The crayfish I catch come in all sizes, with the large ones being red and the small ones being transparent and shiny. The big ones can fetch a good price.
Of course, there are also some household chores that I need to help with during the summer vacation. Harvesting rice, beating hemp, and other farm work, although hard, are moments when I work together with my parents. In these activities, I contribute to the family and feel the hardships of labor, as well as the warmth and happiness of the family.
During the summer vacation, I often play with my friends. There are many children in our village, and we often play games together, such as jumping rope and playing marbles. These are the joyful times of childhood.
