This summer I rested in the village. I visited my grandmother and helped her about the house. I also watered the flowers. It was my duty. In our garden there are so many tasty berries: raspberry, strawberry and wild strawberry. I love berries. My grandmother and I together picked them and enjoyed ourselves.

In July I went to my grandfather, to Rybinsk. There we went to the forest to gather mushrooms. In the forest our parents found a lot of mushrooms. Once we went to the cinema to see a very interesting movie. We also went to the pool. There was a lot of fun! Sometimes we went to the river to swim. On the river we had rest with my relatives, barbecuing and swimming. It was really a great adventure!

Then we went St. Petersburg to visit my uncle and my aunt. We all together went to the zoo. There were a lot of different animals: camels, tigers, bears, a lama, wolves, flamingos and many others. Most of all I liked the peacock. He has a very beautiful and lush tail. I also liked the tiger. He jumped up and played with his toys.

There were so many interesting events last summer! I think I’ll remember them for a long time!

My next vacationsThis summer I'm going to Spain to visit my grandparents. I really miss them! We're taking a plane from Moscow to Madrid. The flight normally takes about 3 hours.My grandparents live by the seaside so I can play volleyball and swim as much as I want. There are many shops with fresh food. I love eathing fruit and vegetables by playing chess with grandpa. That's going to be the best summer I've ever had.Мои следующие каникулыЭтим летом я еду в Испанию, чтобы навестить моих бабушку и дедушку. Я очень скучаю по ним! Мы полетим на самолёте. Обычно полёт длится около трёх часов.Бабушка и дедушка живут около берега моря, поэтому я могу купаться и играть в волейбол столько, сколько хочу. Там много магазинов со свежей едой. Я люблю есть фрукты и овощи за игрой в шахматы с дедушкой. Это будет лучшее лето, которое у меня когда-либо было!
