　　it was the first day of our winter 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 sleep and eat good food in order to replenish myself。 last but not the least， i will have a good rest。

　　it was the second day of our winter holiday。 i felt good。 i felt i’m free。 i had a lot of time to do things i like。 my parents are in beijing。 so i live alone but i don’t feel lonely。 but i didn’t do something special。 i stayed at home and watched tv。 oh! i wrote an english daily composition。 it was my homework。 today， i have slept for 14 hours。 i thought i was very tired。 it was time for dinner。 i must go! i am very hungry。

　　it was the third day of our winter holiday。 today， there are many business in my mother’s company。 so my mother told me to help my uncle who is the manager of my mother’s company。 i sat in my mother’s office and help her answer the telephone。 while i was free， i was writing my homework。 although i also have a lot of time to do my homework， i still do it。 because in my mother’s office， i had nothing to do。 if i did nothing， i was wasting my time and my life。 i can’t do the foolish thing。 we should take good use of our time。

　　it is a special day today。 my mother sent one hundred basket of red bayberries。 i like to eat red bayberries。 it tastes nice。 when they arrived in shanghai， they were still fresh。 but most of them would be sent to my mother’s business friends。 i chose the best basket of red bayberries to eat。 i put the rest in my refrigerator。 red bayberry is my hometown’s special product。 it is well-known in china。 many people like to eat it。

　　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。

　　i have rested for a week。 i began to feel bored。 so i went out with my friends。 they are my best friends in the middle school。 we didn’t go to someplace special。 we just saw the other。 we had lunch together。 while we were having lunch， we were still talking about the new school and new friends。 yes! a year later， we have grown riper。 and we learned much more things and got new life。 we haven’t enough time to play， to waste and to lose the way。 we only have two years。 two years to go， we will get the real life which belongs to us。

　　i have stayed in shanghai alone for a week。 it’s time for me to go to my real home—it is in beijing。 my parents are waiting for me。 although outside is no matter how beautiful， beijing is still my home。 in fact， there is many fresh things。 like red bayberries。 in the afternoon， i took a bus to beijing。 i was very unlucky that my mp3 was stolen。 i was very sad。 i didn’t know why thieves went to steal other’s things。 why don’t they hunt for a job? i don’t why! i hope there is no thief in our motherland。

　　when i got home， it was very dark。 why? there is no electric。 every year in beijing， there is lack of electric to supply。 because there are a lot of factories。 and it is very cold in winter。 so the government decided: supply electric to resident and the factories must stop working。 my house is in the manufacturing district。 i was unlucky。 it was very cold。 so my father use the electric XXX machine to make electric。 oh! what a unlucky winter!

　　january 21 20XX

　　it was cooler than yesterday。 one of my father’s friends invited me to eat red bayberries。 you must know it is unusual。 because we will climb the hill to eat red bayberries。 there is no chance to eat red bayberries in the hill for the people who don’t live in beijing。 on the hill， you can breathe the fresh air， you can listen birds singing and you can eat red bayberries。 it was enjoyable。 it is said there are wild pigs in the hill。 what a beautiful natural。

　　today i found time was a cruel thing。 whatever man is， time always goes on。 it won’t stay to wait for somebody。 you can’t use anything to exchange time。 time is also a fair thing。 although you have a lot of money or you enjoy high reputation， time won’t leave them more。 today i found i hadn’t enough time。 although i have 50-day holiday， but i found i had a lot of things to do。 i had a lot of homework to do and i had something necessary to do。

　　i have rested for 10 days。 in these days， i felt very bored。 i didn’t know to do what。 although i had a lot of things to do， i felt uncomfortable。 i was ill because of the cold weather。 i was tired， sleepy and had no strength。 my parents are worried about my health。 in fact， it didn’t matter。 i was always in the room with air-conditioner and opened it in a low temperature。 so when i went out， the high temperature disagreed to me。 finally， i was ill。

　　january 24 20XX

　　today， when i awaked up， i found the air-conditioner didn’t work。 i used the control， but it still didn’t work。 i knew the air-conditioner was in trouble。 i went downstairs。 my father told me two air-conditioner and two computer had been broken。 because my father used electric XXX machine to make electric， so the voltage was not stable。 it led to the trouble。 oh! whenever the government will let the factory use electric? if it lasts longer， i will be crazy!!

　　january 25 20XX

　　it doesn’t matter that the air-conditioner has been broken。 but my notebook-computer also was broken。 i really don’t know what to do。 so i went to play basketball。 i didn’t know any one in that place。 and i was the first time to go there to play basketball。 at first， there was no person playing basketball。 so i played basketball alone。 a few minutes later， some students came to play。 so we played together。 of course， we had a match。 and it lasts two hours。 after the match， i felt i would be dead。 i was too tired。
