经典范文背诵
A Meaningful Vacation
The winter vacation is coming soon. We’ll have a one-month holiday. After learning at school for a long term, I’m going to do something during the vacation. To have a meaningful vacation, I’m going to do the following things:
First, I will finish doing my homework on time and preview the new lessons. As a student, I think study should come first. Second, I will do some sports, such as skating, playing football and so on. If I want to study well, I must have a healthy body. Third, I am going to help at home. It’s not easy for my parents to look after me, so I am going to help them do some housework, like cleaning the floor, doing the dishes and so on.
I believe I will have a meaningful vacation.
