For a whole day, the two girls played heartily – no homework, no extra-curricular（课外） skills training. The happy life lasted only for one day. Yesterday, everything returned to normal: doing homework till late at night and going over lessons learned at last weekend’s English and “ Olympic mathematics” （数学奥赛）　courses.
