Текст:The staycation
2009 was the year of the ‘staycation’ for many countries across the globe. This new word combines ‘stay’ and ‘vacation’, and has two meanings. The first describes a holiday spent in your own house, where you do things at and from your home. Using your home as a base you use local facilities such as the swimming pool or park and perhaps go for day trips. The second meaning refers to having a holiday in your home country, rather than going abroad. It is this second use which is the most common nowadays.

arrived at the lake, we took out our things and settled down near the bushes in the shade. My friends ran to swim at once, and asked me to watch their things. Some time later a hare ran past the bush. At first I did not understand why it was not afraid of people and moved on its hind legs. I immediately called my friends to look at the hare. After it we took the hare and drove to a veterinary clinic. Doctors bandaged its leg and asked to leave the animal with them. A week later we took the hare to the same place. There we let him go. It's better for it in the woods!
