After my hard and busy school year my summer holidays began. I felt happy and began to plan a lot of wonderful things to do during my summer vacation.I was dreaming about Southern countries I always wanted to visit. For example I dreamed to visit Greek islands or beaches in Singapore. But I had to go to the Azov seaside with my relatives. The water was very warm there because the Azov Sea isn’t deep. There were a lot of beautiful fair trees and bushes there. There were different kinds of entertainments there. Some kinds of water Mountains and water scooters and discos. There was nothing to do all day except lying in the sun and get a wonderful tan. I was playing with my little sister on the sand and in the waves teaching her to swim. Later on I returned to Kherson and spent some time in town going out with my friends, reading, listening to music, watching TV, playing computer games. After that I went to the sports camp where I spent seven days with my friends.It was very useful experience for us because we had to get up very early, to train a lot, and to rest very little. But it made us stronger and healthier.I was very happy to return home and to spend several days in my summer cottage, I helped my grandpa to take care of the garden, to water plants, and to gather fruits and vegetables. Sometimes my grandpa and me were fishing and cooking fish together. Numerous insects were really annoying though. I was enjoying sailing in the boat, swimming in the river and helping my grandparents. During my summer holidays I made many new friends and read a lot of interesting books.I got to know a lot of useful things. Now I feel ready to get back to school. I am happy to meet my friends and teachers.
