My next vacations This summer I'm going to Spain to visit my grandparents. I really miss them! We're taking a plane from Moscow to Madrid. The flight normally takes about 3 hours. My grandparents live by the seaside so I can play volleyball and swim as much as I want. There are many shops with fresh food. I love eathing fruit and vegetables by playing chess with grandpa. That's going to be the best summer I've ever had. Мои следующие каникулы Этим летом я еду в Испанию, чтобы навестить моих бабушку и дедушку. Я очень скучаю по ним! Мы полетим на самолёте. Обычно полёт длится около трёх часов. Бабушка и дедушка живут около берега моря, поэтому я могу купаться и играть в волейбол столько, сколько хочу. Там много магазинов со свежей едой. Я люблю есть фрукты и овощи за игрой в шахматы с дедушкой. Это будет лучшее лето, которое у меня когда-либо было!
