写作范文及指导如下：

Having to make choices has always been a hard nut to crack among people. Many times when faced with a dilemma of making a choice, it is probable that people will make the wrong choices. Today, having a holiday is tantamount to having an enjoyable vacation. However, how can a vacation be blissful without good friends?

本段译文：做选择一向是很难的一件事儿。常常，当面临进退两难的选择时，很有可能人们会做出错误的决定。现如今，有个假期就相当于有个愉快的假期了。但是，没有朋友的陪伴，怎能算是幸福假期呢?

本段必背短语：a hard nut to crack:难对付的人或者事：The question of world hunger is a hard nut to crack. 世界范围的饥荒是一个很难解决的问题。He is a hard nut to crack. 他是块难啃的硬骨头。

It is important to have good friends during a vacation because with them, you can chat, cook and discuss so many things. At the end of the day, even if the food was not too good, or the scenery dull, the games you have with your friends make up for the rest. A vacation can never be enjoyable to a solitary soul. Even when the scenery is good or the food is mouth watering, having to keep mum all the times gets everything dull, and thus the vacation becoming boring. Friends keep you company and accord you security in a new place you might go to as a stitch in time saves nine. Not only that, they help you prepare for the vacation.

本段译文：在旅途中有个好朋友是很重要的。有了朋友，你们可以一起聊天，做饭，讨论各种问题。一天结束之后，即便食物不可口，风景单调，但是你和朋友一起玩儿的游戏，足够弥补所有不快。孤独的人儿感觉体会不到假期的愉快。即便景色优美，食物诱人，一直沉默寡言也很无聊。未雨绸缪--在一个全新的地方，朋友能陪伴你，给你安全感。不止如此，朋友还能帮你规划假期。

本段必背短语：keep mum: 保持沉默：He kept mum about what he'd seen. 他对他所看到的只字不说。 keep company:陪伴：She stayed at home to keep her mother company.她留在家陪她母亲。

Suffice to note, with friends, the rest comes secondary because you can brainstorm on which places to go and what to eat. Food can always be bought on the way or anywhere. Even the dullest of scenes can become very interesting if the friends one has are jovial. Whatever is found at any location, so long as it is not familiar with the group can turn out to be enjoyable. Fun with a group of friends can even kill the hunger one might have got during such a vacation. This is because by nature, a busy soul seldom frets with hunger. Your friends will make the soul busy with fun and at the end of the day, food might not be needed at all but just snacks to get along.

本段译文：值得一提的是，有了朋友，其他的东西就是次要的了因为你们可以集思广益，讨论去哪儿玩，吃什么。食物在哪儿都能买到。即便是最无聊的风景也会因为幽默的朋友而显得有趣儿。和一群好玩的人在起，甚至会让人忘记旅途中的饥饿。这是因为忙碌的人很少为饥饿发愁。朋友会不断逗你开心，让你不无聊。最后，食物可能根本不需要了，或者吃点儿零食就可以了。

本段必背单词：brainstorm：集思广益：brainstorm about a question with one's friends.和朋友们对某个问题进行自由讨论。jovial：愉快的：Uncle Duff was quite jovial at tea that evening.达夫叔叔那晚喝茶时心情十分愉快。

On the whole, different people prefer different ways of making their vacations enjoyable. Food and a good scenery can be a darling to some when it comes to going for a vacation. However, with just you by yourself, such a vacation would be boring and at the end of the day, one would end up seeking for friendship from strangers on his or her way. Thus, having good humorous and jovial friends for a vacation holds more water.

本段译文：总得来说，不同的人有不同的方式让他们的假期愉快。食物和美景对有些人来说是度假中非常美好的东西。但是，如果孤单一人，再好的假期也很无聊。你最后还是会在旅途中从陌生人那里寻求友谊。因此，有一个好的，幽默的朋友一起度假更好。

本段必背短语：hold water：行得通：The theory may hold water. 这理论可能行得通。
