My summer holiday. Summer is so perfect; it’s the most appealing part of the year. I also like winter, because I can skate and ski. I enjoy spring with its romantic atmosphere. I appreciate autumn full of poetry and colored leaves. All seasons have something impressive. But summer is the queen of all seasons. Summer is a cushy time. You can get up wherever you want, spend all your free time with your peers, watching cartoons and films. Summer is a fairy tale for all pupils. The summer in this year  was also full of magnificent events. First of all, I spent 10 days with my family by the sea. It was so cool that I didn’t want to leave that magic land. Where was it? It’s my secret! Then I spent several days in the village where my Granny lives. She lives in a small lovely house and has many domestic animals. Animals are my passion. Also I watched many marvelous films in summer. For example, historical film Sissi. So, my summer holidays were rather rich on different events. I’m looking forward to see summer next time.

Summer holidays
      Summer holidays are the longest holidays. I liked them very much! I had a lot of time for myself. I spent most time outdoors.
      In June I went to the seaside with my parents. The water in the Black Sea was very warm. We swam in the sea and sunbathed on the beach. There were different kinds of entertainments there. We also played volleyball on the beach and made castles of sand. 
     Then I spent two weeks in the summer camp. I made a lot of new friends. Every day we enjoyed something special - games, competitions, performances.
 We had discos every night. It was a real fun.
   In August I visited my grandparents. There I enjoyed fresh air and helped my grandparents to dig the garden, to gather fruit and vegetables. 
    I relaxed last summer and prepared for a new school year.
