I’d like to tell you some words about my summer vacations. You know, when summer comes I am always dreaming about going somewhere out of the town, say, dense forest or a lake-shore. Of course, I could join my friends and go down the river on the rafts together with them, or visit different cities going sightseeing and having fun. But this very summer the weather always kept fine, so my classmates and I made up our minds to go e few miles away from our city to a picturesque place.
As the decision was settled fast, we gather together at the railway station one morning, bought the tickets for an early common train, and in an hour we arrived there.
We found a beautiful spot in the forest not far from the lake and immediately installed the tents. We were impressed by the beautiful scenery around us. The girls started cooking, and the boys went to the forest to pick up berries and mushrooms. What a remarkable place forest is! You can sniff the smell of the grass and flowers, see a hedgehog or a squirrel, mock the woodpecker. Soon we were back with our trophies and the meal was ready too.
In the afternoon we went back to the beach and spent our time there swimming, bathing, playing, and exciting active games such as volleyball and badminton. Everybody found occupation for themselves. By the end of the day we were red-skinned as Indians.
In the evening we gathered round the campfire, sang songs to the guitar, listened to the radio. Then the boys and girls from the village came to see us. They brought some milk, potatoes, tomatoes and apples with them. Nobody felt bored or tired, indeed, it was a wonderful party, it ended late at night. This is only one episode from my summer holidays, but this kind of rest I prefer most of all. In fact summer is full of joy and fun.
