    This summer, I'll volunteer with Special House Program. The workers there are well trained and they have a lot of building experience. They build good, low-cost houses and sell them to the poor. They'll teach me what to do, and then I am going to have a chance to learn how to build houses.

    I am writing to my pen friend abroad, telling him what I want to do during my holidays. My classmates and I will go on a one-day picnic on the beach of Oneida Lake. My math and chemistry are not good enough, so I will spend two weeks on extra lessons. And the rest of the holiday I will go lazing around, listen to music or watch some programs on television.

    There are many things that I would like to do in my holidays. First of all will visit all my friends by turns. Besides, my classmates and I will organize cricket (板球) matches in the Fitness Gym during the holiday. Cricket is my favorite sport. I am looking forward to playing in the matches and bringing honors to our team.

    This year, we have planned a long trip to Mongolia which has the most beautiful grassland. I think it is going to be an enjoyable holiday. We are going to stay in a cottage (小木屋) and visit all the most famous places in Mongolia. I hope the weather is going to be favorable for us when we are there.
