As July approached, the school term was coming to an end. The next morning arrived, no school today tomorrow, or for week! But what to do with all this new found freedom? I always 1 my friends whose parents wanted them to do something constructive（建设性的）to learn something new. I'm learning to relax and enjoy life a little," I thought to myself.
And I would go out with the dog for a walk in the morning sunshine, 2 the woods is always a good start- what strange and wonderful insects would I find? Which ones should I bring home to show my sister? The dog would usually run off, leading me further into the unfamiliar woods. I got lost a few times, and 3 out the dog always knew the way home.
After lunch I'd run down to the park to play football with my friends. We'd play until the sun was coming down. 4 it was time to go home. I was covered in scratches and mud. That was always a good sign of improved my skill of playing football" I would explain. And maybe I didn't learn new instrument, or practice my French, but it had been a brilliant day.
There is always time for learning next year. The true 5 of a summer vacation is the freedom it provides, freedom you never have as an adult. So make all use of your summer. Go out and do something6get lost and challenge yourself, and if you get a little dirty in the process, well, in my book that's a constructive day.
