I have a few comments for you. First, there are different ways to write this passage. Here is how I would write it in 白话. Some of what you write is “correct but not common,” that is grammatically correct but not the way we commonly speak.
Today is the last day of my (or: the) summer vacation. Classes start next Monday (or: on Monday), which means I still have two more days to enjoy. I’ll leave for school tomorrow. The holiday isn’t a long one but it’s meaningful. I went to Huangshan Mountain. The view from there is really beyond comparison. However, the day we climbed the mountain it rained cats and dogs and we all got wet. While we were there we even had a basketball game with the local residents. We were lucky to win. It was really unforgettable. In addition, I went to the EXPO twice but there were long lines there, so I went to the Case Pavilions instead of the Country Pavilions and it proved to be the right decision (or: a wise decision).
The new semester is about to start (or: is almost here) and I have to continue working hard. It is bound to be tough but I’m sure that I’ll make it. See you next time.
Vacation = 假期
Vocation = 职业
We usually say “the vacation” or “my vacation.”
“Will start” is OK but it’s common to just say “’start.”
We don’t usually say that holidays are “meaningful” so I’m not sure what you mean here.
We could say “the view from there””or “the scenery there,” whichever you wanted to say.
“Cats and dogs” is an idiom, which means the form never changes.
“At the same time” usually means simultaneously (同时1发生2的). “While” generally means “’during the time which.”’ (当 ... 的时候)
“Luckily” is used in this way by some Americans, but it’s actually not correct grammar. It’s an adverb and you need an adjective here.
No need to say “final winner” because a win is always final.
“Besides” is often used in the wrong way by Chinese students. It can have two meanings, 除…以外 or此外. The meaning here is more like the latter.
“Long queue” is correct but most Americans would say “’long lines.”
We wouldn’t say a long line is ‘boring.” We could say, “I got tired of waiting in long lines.”
Using “right and wise” together sounds a little redundant. One is enough.
“Continue working hard” or “keep studying hard” sounds more natural than using “again.”
