Olympic Games The world's greatest international sports games are known as the Olympic Games. The Olympic idea means friendship, fraternity and cooperation among the people of the world. The Olympic Movement proves that real peace can be achieved through sport. The Olympic emblem is five interlinked rings: blue, yellow, black, green and red. Any national flag contains at least one of these colours. The original Olympic Games began in ancient Greece in 776 B.C. These games were part of a festival held every fourth year in honour of God Zeus at the place called Olympia. It was a great athletic festival, including competitions in wrestling, foot racing and chariot racing, rowing and others. The games were for men only. Greek women were forbidden not only to participate but also to watch the Olympics. The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896. Then they were resumed in London after the Second World War. Since then the Olympics are held every fourth year in different countries. The ancient Greeks had no winter sports. Only in 1924 the first Winter Olympic Games were held in France. Now they are being held regularly.
My family and I went to the picnic. We took a lot of food. I ate and I played badminton with my brother. My father played volleyball with mam. Then I was hungry. My mum cooked tea for me. I drank tea and then my father and my brother and I went fishing. We went fishing, collected things and went home. The day was very happy for me.
Моя семья и я поехали на пикник. Мы взяли много еды. Я поел и начал играть в бадминтон с братом. Мой папа играл в волейбол с мамой. После этого я был голоден. Моя мама приготовила чай для меня. Я попил чай и пошел с папой и братом на рыбалку. Мы пришли с рыбалки, собрали вещи и поехали домой. Этот день был самым веселым для меня.
I think summer is the best season,as it is warm and very beautiful, and it gives us a wonderful opportunity to have a rest. We can go anywhere, spend a lot of time on the bank of the river or the lake lying on fresh green grass, swimming in warm water. We can climb the mountains, play various games, ride a bike, etc. I want to tell about the highest point of my last summer vacations. In July my family went to the wood to have a picnic. We made a fire, prepared meat and put up a tent. While parents were preparing dinner I went into the wood to work up an appetite.The wood this day was beautiful … There was a smell of flowers, honey and wild strawberry in the air. Everything around was green, only trunks of trees were brightly allocated on a dark green background. Birds were chirping their languages, a woodpecker was knocking.And suddenly I heard suspicious sounds … As though someone hissed before me. I looked back and saw … a snake! I held my breath. I didn't remember how it looked because I got frightened and started departing slowly back, and then rushed as soon as possible to our camp. I didn't tell my mother about the event so that she wouldn't worry. Soon, having had dinner and having had fun, we went home.Eh … How quickly time flies! It is a pity that it is impossible to recreate those moments, those feelings which you endured during vacation. But it is necessary to believe that the next summer will be so unforgettable!
