In June I stayed at home and my parents were at work. But I was glad because at last I had time for myself. I read books, listened to music, watched films and visited my friend. I spend most days outdoors and got a nice sun tan.
Then I spent two weeks in the summer camp on the seaside. It was a real fun. I met a lot of new friends. Every day we enjoyed something special - games, carnivals, competitions, performances. We went to the seaside twice a day. There we swam, bathed in the sun, played volleyball on the beach, made sculptures of sand. We had discos every night, but not too long. I guess, those were the most exciting weeks of the summer. It gave me bright impressions, lots of funny photos and some new friends.
Then my parents were on vacation and so they took me to my parent’s place in the village. It’s a very picturesque place with a forest and a river nearby. I was happy to see my grandmother and grandfather. I spent hot days on the riverbank. Once we went hiking with my parents, made fire, gathered some berries. The summer forest is very beautiful. In the evening I usually helped in the garden.
Last month of the summer I was at home again, having rest from such an intensive rest! I did usual things and prepared for school. I like my summer holidays!
Лето – мое любимое время года. Летние каникулы – это самый долгий отдых от учебы в году, поэтому я их так люблю.
Июнь я провел дома, а мои родители работали. Но я был рад, потому что, наконец, у меня появилось время для себя. Я читал книжки, слушал музыку, смотрел фильмы и общался с друзьями. Большую часть времени я был на улице, поэтому неплохо загорел.
Затем я провел две недели в летнем лагере на берегу моря. Это было настоящее веселье. Я встретил много новых друзей. Каждый день мы наслаждались чем-то особенным – играми, карнавалами, соревнованиями, представлениями. Дважды в день мы бывали на море. Там мы купались, загорали на солнце, играли в пляжный волейбол, делали скульптуры из песка. Каждый вечер была дискотека, правда, не очень долгая. Я считаю, это были самые волнующие две недели лета. Они подарили мне яркие впечатления, много веселых фотографий и новых друзей.
Затем мои родители пошли в отпуск и взяли меня собой к дедушке и бабушке в деревню. Это очень живописное место, с речкой и лесом поблизости. Я был рад увидеть дедушку и бабушку. В жаркие дни я все время был на речке. Однажды мы с родителями ходили в поход, разводили костер, собирали какие-то ягоды. По вечерам я обычно в саду.
Последний месяц лета я провел дома, отдыхая от такого насыщенного отдыха. Занимался обычными делами и готовился к школе. Мне понравилось, как я провел летние каникулы.
Dear friend,
Thanks for your letter. It was so nice to hear from you. I am sorry I haven’t written for a long time but I was busy with my project at school.
In your letter, you ask me about books. The last book that I read was a detective novel. My sister recommended it because she enjoyed it a lot. As for me, the most interesting literary genres are science fiction and detective stories. The former one is very informative and useful. The latter is captivating and extremely interesting to read. Nonetheless, reading is not the only thing that you can do on holidays. So not to get bored you may also hang out with your friends, walk around the town, etc. Enjoy yourself and have fun!
Write back soon.
Best wishes,
