Holidays in the country.
Summer is my favorite time of the year. Summer holidays are the longest. This year I spent my summer holidays in the country. Most of the time I walked, cycled, spent time with my friends. When the weather was hot, we went to the river. In the evenings, I helped my mother water the beds in the garden. I liked my summer holidays very much.
ПЕРЕВОД: Каникулы в деревне.
Лето — мое любимое время года. Летние каникулы самые длинные. В этом году я провел летние каникулы в деревне. Большую часть времени я гулял, ездил на велосипеде, проводил время с друзьями. Когда погода была жаркая, мы ходили на реку. По вечерам я маме поливать грядки в саду. Мне очень понравились мои летние каникулы.

masters in those times, while those depending on them as employees were referred to as servants, which
suggests a considerable degree of control by the former over the latter.
With the advent of the industrial revolution things began to change. At first, the conditions of employees (factory
