I would like to spend the first summer month in the country, at my grandparents’. My friends and cousins will be waiting for me there. I miss them so much. We shall go fishing, sunbathing, swimming, horse-riding and playing football. And I’m going to help my grandparents about the garden. So I will be outdoors all the time.
Перевод
Лето приближается, и я жду его с нетерпением. Это мое любимое время года, конечно же, потому что погода замечательная, и не нужно ходить в школу. После длинного и сложного учебного года очень устаешь от занятий, поэтому я собираюсь получить настоящее удовольствие от летних каникул и хорошо повеселиться. Надеюсь, что они будут такими же увлекательными, как и мои каникулы. У меня уже много планов на них.

я бы хотел провести свой первый летний месяц в деревне, у бабушки с дедушкой. Мои друзья и двоюродные братья будут меня там ждать. Я очень скучаю по ним. Мы будем ходить на рыбалку, загорать, купаться, кататься на лошадях и играть в футбол. И я собираюсь бабушке и дедушке работать в огороде. Поэтому все время я буду находиться на открытом воздухе.
