 Pupils at school have their vacations four times a year — in winter, in autumn, in spring, and in summer.

  As for me, the best holidays are in summer. All people enjoy summer holidays very much. It is a great pleasure to have a rest after a whole year of hard work or study. People like to travel during summer holidays.

  Some people go abroad to see new countries, some people prefer to go to the country-side to enjoy country-life far from noise and fuss of big cities.

  Some people like to spend their holidays in cities, visiting theatres and museums. But a great number of people go to the seaside in summer.

  I like to have rest at the seaside best of all. I do not like crowds when I am on holidays. My parents and I always have our holidays on the coast. Sea and sunshine, that is what we look forward to every summer. Usually we go to a holiday camp.

  Last year we spent our holidays in such a camp. Each day was full of small joys.

  We swam in the sea, lay in the sun, played different games and had a wonderful time. It was a nice rest. If everything is OK this year we will go to the seaside again.

Объяснение:

перевод- Каникулы у школьников четыре раза в год — зимой, осенью, весной и летом.

  Мне кажется, что лучшие каникулы — летние. Все люди наслаждаются отпусками. Это большое удовольствие — отдыхать после целого года тяжелой работы и учебы. Во время летних отпусков людям нравится путешествовать.

  Некоторые уезжают за границу, чтобы увидеть новые страны, некоторые предпочитают поехать в деревню, чтобы наслаждаться сельской жизнью, далекой от шума и суеты больших городов.

  Некоторым людям нравится проводить свои отпуска в городах, посещая театры и музеи. Но огромное количество людей едет летом на побережье моря.

  Больше всего мне нравится отдыхать на море. На каникулах мы с родителями всегда едем к морю. Море и солнце — именного этого мы с нетерпением ждем каждое лето. Обычно мы едем в лагерь для отдыхающих.

  В году мы провели свой отпуск в таком лагере. Каждый день был полон маленьких радостей.

  Мы плавали в море, загорали на солнце, играли в различные игры и замечательно провели время. Это был хороший отдых. Если в этом году все будет хорошо, мы поедем на побережье снова.

Everyone knows that for all students the best time of the year is summer holidays. First of all, you’re free from school and may forget about textbooks, lessons, homework for all three months. Moreover, you don’t have to wake up early every day and have all this annoying routine. So you just have the opportunity to relax and enjoy perfect summer time.

As for me, my summer is quite typical from year to year. I usually spend June at home. I get up late all the time and try to be outside with my friends as much as possible. I really enjoy cool summer evenings when my friends and I can go for a walk in the park or ride around the city on our bikes. Also, we like rollerblading a lot. If the weather is bad I normally stay at home playing computer games or just surfing the Internet.

Then July I usually spend in the countryside with my grandparents. I have a lot of friends there as well. We often go to the lake for swimming or sunbathing. It’s always active time and we have a lot of things to do together.
