1、The summer vacation had come round again.I was happy that I could forget about school at least for a while.Lest I fool around all through this summer vacation,I made a plan as to how to spend it.First,I thought I should go over all those things my teachers taught in the previous term so that I could have a better understanding of them.Then I thought I should take up some forms of exercise,such as walking,running and rowing,to keep me physically strong.It stood to reason that with such a good plan I should make the best of my vacation time.I did,because I lived up to what I had planned.
2、我生活中最快乐的一天
I wasn't alone that night.My co-workers joined the in celebration.We stood and waved our cigars in the air as every vehicle which passed acknowledged the birth of my daughter.
Finally,the bus from the docks made its turn onto the overpass and began to climb the hill.When it drew close,I climbed onto the window ledge and clasped my hands over my head in a victory pose.The bus was directly in front of me when it stopped dead in heavy traffic,and every person on board stood with their hands in the air.Emotion choked my breathing as I watched the display of celebrations for my new daughter.Then it happened:a sign popped up.It filled the windows and stretched half the length of the bus,"CONGRATULATIONS!"
Tears formed in the corners of my eyes as the bus slowly restarted its journey.I stood in silence,as it pulled from view.More fans passed and tooted their horns or flashed their lights to display their happiness,but I hardly noticed them,as I pondered what had just happened.My daughter bed been born fourteen days late.Those people must have carried that sign,unrolled,on the bus for at least two weeks.Everyday they had unrolled it and then rolled it back up.
We all have a clown inside of us.We need to let it free and not be surprised at the magic it can create.For eight months I had made a fool of myself,and those people must have enjoyed the smiles I gave them,because on the happiest day of my life they had shown their appreciation.
It has been more than 18 years since that special time,but on my daughter's birthday I always remember the special gift they gave me.
