How I Spent My Summer Vacation.
Summer vacation is the best part of the year. A student can have a couple of months entirely to himself. He is not bothered about books and examinations. He can do whatever he likes. He can go wherever he pleases. He can build his health. He can visit his relations. If he can afford, he can go to the hills.
Our school closed on 15th May and I decided to pass my summer vacation at Simla. As my parents were busy and could not accompany me, I decided to go with my friends. Big preparations were to be made before leaving Delhi. But it was worthwhile to escape the blazing heat of Delhi.
Our first headache was home-work. Shall we do it here or in Simla or not do it at all? After considering the pros and cons, we decided to distribute the whole work into seven parts and do it once a week. So we set apart one day a week for the school work.
I, along with three of my friends and their families, took the Kalka Mail for Simla. The train went very slowly. It inched its way up the high hills. It went so slow that one could get down or get in anywhere he liked. The railway track was zigzag. We could always see the track we had covered and the track that was before us. We went up and up in a whirl.
The train reached Simla in the evening. We went to our place. Day by day, we enjoyed the summer vacation to our fill. It was a great picnic for two months. It was really an enjoyable opportunity.
We did not notice the quick passing of time. We had no worry, no school work, no fear of being in time for school, no fear of the teacher's mace, and no fear of weekly tests. We were care-free. In Simla we were so happy that after a morning or evening walk, home-coming was painful. We used to climb hills, go down in valleys, meet villagers and see many beautiful sights.
The tall trees on the hills and the whirring sound which the quickly passing air created made us love nature and forget all about the plains.
It was with a heavy heart that we had to leave Simla at the end of our

    A railway platform is a world in itself. At the platform, there was a big crowd. Groups of people, sitting around with their belongings, talked and laughed among themselves. People rush here and there. Some check up time of arrival or of departure of the trains. Hawkers were crying out with shrill voice to vend their goods.…

    Year-Round School

    • 813 Words

    First of all, people might assume that since the summer vacation is shorter, it cannot possibly be better than the summer vacation that they already have. However, there are multiple reasons why year-long school summer vacations are better than regular vacations. First off, students do not get as bored over the summer of year-round school. Speaking from personal experience, regular summer vacation can almost seem too long. When it gets close to the month of August, summer seems like it has drug on forever. Students start to get bored of summer, and they want the interaction with their peers, that they cannot always get over summer. They want to see their friends again, especially the ones that they did not get to see over the summer. With year-round school, this happens less. The summers are shorter, but it allows students to see their friends sooner. It also gives a faster relief of the boredom that many kids suffer after the long months of doing almost nothing at home. Another benefit provided by year-round school is that students do not forget all of their material over summer vacation. Again, summer is long, and students forget almost everything they learned the past year over the vacation. With a shorter summer, like the one provided by year-round school, students will be likely to forget less of the material they learned over the course of the school year. If students forget less of the material that they learned, then they can start at a more advanced spot when they return. If students start more advanced, they will ultimately be able to learn more throughout the course of the year, which further benefits their education. Overall, even summers can be improved by changing to a year-round school…

    As I got closer, I realized that it was my cousin with large ears and chubby cheeks who came to pick me up in his black, with red strips car. During the car drive, I saw how clean and beautiful the roads were. I also saw that all the people walking on the street had different way of dressing with a hat on their head, long t-shits and baggy shorts. As we drove through my cousin’s neighborhood I saw that most of the house looks the same with v-shaped roofs. My cousin pulled into the driveway and carried all the heavy black bags in to the house through the tall and wide front door. As I entered into the house I saw how beautiful and different the house was. The house was way different than the house we had in India, the houses here were made of wood with carpet all over the house and a v-shaped roof while the houses in India were made of grey cement and bricks while cold and slippery tiles all over the house and with a flat roof. After eating delicious, home-cooked, Indian meal we all went to bed. The next morning, we went to the High School that I was going to be enrolled into and was starting in December.…

    It was usual shiny day when we were about to leave our lyceum and get to the long road that was passing through the high and mighty mountains of ?Kyrgyz jeri?. And when we were on the way to Tamchi, a fertile garden village of wooden chocolate-box cottages and shady, poplar-lined avenues, my teacher said with his funny voice, ?Listen everybody! Now we are on the way to Issyk-Kul, and I want you not to sleep on first mission of our summer vacation because you could not realize the beauty of nature and compose an essay on your final exam.? And some of us really didn?t sleep after his funny advice, trying to get a real pleasure from staring at the grand mountains. But during the way the others of us were just listening the music, joking to each other and flying in their dreams.

    Over summer vacation, I received a laptop. It wasn't just any laptop. This laptop came from from an alien and could tell me anything I wanted to know. It's great! The laptop can also run any computer program, game, or any other software that is known to man. It has a built in calculator, CD drive, hover-board, microwave, blow-up air mattress, compass, laser-beam, and most important of all, it can read people's minds! I just ride around, on my floating air-mattress, heating up Hot Pockets, listening to music, and shooting laser-beams at people. The President of the United States even challenged me to a duel against his own calculator/hover-board/microwave/air mattress/compass/laser-beam/laptop against my own. If I won, I would become the President, and he would go to school for me and do all my homework. So, of course, I agreed. It was like one of those western films, except we had laptops instead of guns.…
