Millions of people all over the world spend their holidays travelling. They travel to see other countries and continents, modern cities and the ruins of ancient towns, they travel to enjoy picturesque places, or just for a change of scene. It's always interesting to discover new things, different ways of life, to meet different people, to try different food, to listen to different musical rhythms.
Those who live in the country like to go to a big city and spend their time visiting museums and art galleries, looking at shop windows and dining at exotic restaurants. City-dwellers usually like a quiet holiday by the sea or in the mountains, with nothing to do but walk and bathe and laze in the sun.
Most travellers and holiday-makers take a camera with them and take pictures of everything that interests them — the sights of a city, old churches and castles, views of mountains, lakes, valleys, plains, waterfalls, forests; different kinds of trees, flowers and plants, animals and birds.
Later, perhaps years later, they will be reminded by the photos of the happy time they have had.
People travel by train, by plane, by boat and by car.
All means of travel have their advantages and disadvantages. And people choose one according to their plans and destinations.
If we are fond of travelling, we see and learn a lot of things that we can never see or learn at home, though we may read about them in books and newspapers, and see pictures of them on TV. The best way to study geography is to travel, and the best way to get to know and understand people is to meet them in their own homes.
All my new year holidays I celebrated with my family.
After new year celebrating, me and my brother visited all my relatives and congratulated them.
They was very happy about it, and especially my grandmother.
Then, I was playing computer games, watching tv and having fun with my friends.
I like winter holidays very much, because I have much time to visit all of my friends.
Next time, I hope, that I will be celebrating new year and Christmas somewhere in other country.
Finland may will be great.
January 1 is one of the most light and joyful holidays in the world, it’s New Year's Day. This year, I spent it in the village with my parents and my grandmother , who lives near Volgograd. I have many friends in this village, because I often go there for my holidays.
Our parents allowed us to celebrate New Year in one of our neighbors’ house. We set a great holiday table with traditional Russian dishes which were prepared by my grandmother and our girls, they prepared a lot of different things: goose with apples, salads and my grandmother's favorite hot pies.
I was Santa Claus during this holiday and I gave everybody the gifts that we had prepared for each other.
1 января-это один из самых светлых и радостный праздников в мире, это Новый год. В этом году я провел его в деревне с моими родителями и моей бабушкой , которая живет недалеко от Волгограда. У меня много друзей в этой деревне, потому что я часто езжу туда на каникулы.
Наши родители позволили нам встретить Новый год в доме одного из наших соседей. Мы накрыли большой праздничный стол с традиционными русскими блюдами, которые готовили мои бабушка и наши девушки, они приготовили много разных вещей: гусь с яблоками, салаты и любимые горячие пирожки моей бабушки.
Я был Дедом Морозом в этот праздник, и я дарил всем подарки, которые мы приготовили друг для друга.
