My Future Holidays
I love summer because it is the longest holidays and the weather is great for walking a lot, swimming, sunbathing and playing my favourite games!
In June I want to go to the summer camp. I will go there with my friends. We will live in dormitories and have meals in a large dining hall. I like doing all kinds of activities in the camp: singing, dancing, playing games and sports. I hope we will have competitions there.
In July I will go to my granny's dacha. She has a small wooden house with a vegetable garden not far from the river. I will help my granny to water plants and gather ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots and berries. My dad and I will go fishing in the mornings and on hot days we will go swimming in the river.
Мои будущие каникулы
Я люблю лето, потому что это самые длинные каникулы, и погода отличная, чтобы много гулять, плавать, загорать и играть в мои любимые игры!
В июне я хочу поехать в летний лагерь. Я пойду туда с друзьями. Мы будем жить в спальных корпусах и питаться в большой столовой. Мне нравится заниматься в лагере всем: петь, танцевать, играть в игры и заниматься спортом. Я надеюсь, что у нас будут соревнования там.
В июле я поеду на дачу к бабушке. У нее небольшой деревянный домик с огородом недалеко от реки. Я буду бабушке поливать растения и собирать спелые помидоры, огурцы, морковь и ягоды. Мы с папой будем ловить рыбу по утрам, а в жаркие дни мы будем купаться в реке.
