It is true that summer is hot, very hot. But the wicked summer sun is nothing to me, for I don't usually go out. What I like to do best during the long summer vacation is to stay in my own little room and read. I love to read, but during the school year I could hardly find a free moment for reading. Endless assignments press down upon me like a mountain. I feel confined and imprisoned. Once the summer vacation comes, however, I have all the time in the world to read and read and read. I read everything I want to read. I read to my heart's content. My room maybe small, and the sun maybe hot, but I'm free, I'm happy, I'm really living! Oh, how I love summer!

I Have Long Hoped to Become a College Student

　I have long hoped to become a college student. A college education, on the one hand, enables us to acquire more specialized knowledge and, on the other, prepares us for future services to our country . Besides, all parents want their children to be useful citizens, and my father and mother are no exceptions either. But how can I become a useful citizen if I don't go to college? I must do my best to achieve success in the college entrance examination.

As early as the year I entered high school, I made up my mind to become a college student. I have been working very hard toward this goal since then. On the one hand, I turn down practically all invitations to parties; on the other, I devote all my time to study. Whenever I come across difficult problems in mathematics and other subjects, I always ask my friends of teachers to help me solve them. But time passes so quickly, and before I know there is only one year left for me to prepare for the college entrance examination. This makes me very nervous and discouraged. However, I take heart in the realization that after all I have been doing my best. I certainly will not lose heart. On the contrary, I will study even harder in the year remaining so that I may achieve final success and fulfill my dream of becoming a college student.

I have long hoped to become a college student. I made up my mind to go to college as early as 1979, the year I entered high school. If I become a college student, I will specialize in mathematics. Mathematics is the foundation of all sciences. On the one hand, it will help me to think logically; on the other, it will enable me to become a good scientist. A college education, will help me in a lot of other ways. Certainly, the most important thing for me to do right now is to do my best to prepare for the college entrance examination. If I work hard, I believe I will meet with success.

The August Moon

　I liked the Autumn Festival very much when I was a small girl, because I was with my family then. On the evening of August 15 of the lunar calendar, when the moon was brightest, we always sat together outside in our yard to eat moon cakes――eaten only on this occasion――and enjoy the beautiful moonlight. Mother would then tell me the story of the moon fairy Chang-o, who lived in a palace on the moon, with a jade rabbit for companion. I always imagined that I was the moon fairy whenever I heard the story. When I grew older, however, I was compelled to leave home for education in the city. And now I am living alone away from home. The August moon only serves to remind me of the lost happy days I had with my family in the country.
