中學(xué)生寒假英語日記

　　january 17

　　today, i still went to my mother’s office. my mother was very busy, so was my father. they always live in beijing. they must get up early. because they will manage the factory. so i know they are very laborious. so i should save my money. also i should help them. although i can’t do something useful, but i think i should share the work with them. i am one of my family member. in the future, i will take a job and work. it’ time for me to begin to learn how to work.

　　a fishy story

　　two avid fishermen go on a fishing trip. they rent all the equipment: the reels, the rods, the wading suits, the rowboat, the car, and even a cabin in the woods. they spend a fortune.

　　the first day they go fishing, but they don't catch anything. the same thing happens on the second day, and on the third day. it goes on like this until finally, on the last day of their vacation, one of the men catches a fish.

　　as they're driving home they're really depressed. one guy turns to the other and says, "do you realize that this one lousy fish we caught cost us fifteen hundred dollars?"

　　the other guy says, "wow! it's a good thing we didn't catch any more!"

　　2)

　　change for award

　　a lady lost her handbag in the bustle of christmas shopping. it was found by an honest little boy and returned to her.

　　looking in her purse, she commented, "hmmm.... that's funny. when i lost my bag there was a $20 bill in it. now there are twenty $1 bills."

　　the boy quickly replied, "that's right, lady. the last time i found a lady's purse, she didn't have any change for award."

　　3)

　　late for work

　　tom had this problem of getting up late in the morning and was always late for work. his boss was mad at him and threatened to fire him if he didn't do something about it. so tom went to his doctor who gave him a pill and told him to take it before he went to bed.

　　tom slept well and in fact beat the alarm in the morning. he had a leisurely breakfast and drove cheerfully to work. "boss," he said, "the pill actually worked!"

　　"that's all fine" said the boss. "but where were you yesterday?"

　　it was the first day of our summer holiday. all of us were very happy. why? because we have one months to do things we love to do. we are free.although we have some homework. but we can finish them in several days. and the rest time we can make good use of. my god! we have been very tired after hard studying. in winter holidays, i want to have full sleepand eat good food in order to replenish myself. last but not the least, i will have a good rest.
