My spring holidays
We usually have holidays in spring. Spring is my favourite season, because it is warm and you can do a lot of things outside. So, I decided to visit my grandparents and went to the small town where they lived. As I go there every year, I have got a lot of friends there. That`s why I didn`t have time to be bored: we walked together, went to the cinema and played in the yard. I had a really good time with them.
Мои весенние каникулы
Обычно весной у нас каникулы. Весна - мое любимое время годы, потому что тепло и можно найти много занятий на свежем воздухе. Поэтому, я решила проведать бабушку с дедушкой и поехала в маленький город, где они живут. Так как я езжу туда каждый год, у меня там много друзей. Поэтому времени скучать у меня не было: мы гуляли вместе, ходили в кино и играли во дворе. Я отлично провела с ними время.
