毕业舞会之夜来了又去，我也最终获得了高中毕业证书。

考试结束，这是一件多好的事情啊！我太兴奋了，简直无法理清思绪！想想过几天我就要永远走出校门了，似乎有一种别样的感觉。

我要做的第一件事就是度一个长假！[助读讲解]①本句中It是形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的主语从句。

②本句中I'm going to do是省略了that引导的定语从句，is后面的to take a long vacation为不定式作表语。

all the wonderful things that have happened④.I've decided to write them down so that one day，years from now，when I reread them，the memories will come back⑤.同时，我发觉自己在回顾自己高中最后一年的时光，追忆所有发生过的美好往事。

我决定把它们写下来，多年以后的某一天再次阅读时，往事就会涌上心头。

[助读讲解]③本句中find myself looking为“find＋宾语＋宾补”的结构。

④that have happened是that引导的定语从句，由于先行词前有不定代词all修饰，所以此处的that不能替换为which。

⑤此处so that引导目的状语从句，其中包含when引导的时间状语从句。

working as an arts editor for this newspaper.I've so enjoyed it！I love writing，and working on this paper is my first step towards becoming a journalist，so thishas been a real success for me.Something else I've greatly enjoyed is working as a peer(同龄人) mediator(调解员)，someone who helps students to settle problems that they have with other students.⑥At the start of the school year，we were given training in how to do this，and it's clear that this kind of work can really help people⑦.I think I'll continue to work as a mediator when I go to college.要记住的事情太多了。
