I was dreaming about far South countries I always wanted to visit but I had to go to the Azove seaside with my relatives. The water was very warm there because you know Azove Sea isn’t deep. What I liked there - a lot of different kinds of entertainment there: "water mountains", water scooters and discos.
There was nothing to do all day except lying in the sun and getting a wonderful tan. I was playing with my little sister on the sand and in the waves teaching her to swim. Later 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.
It was very useful experience because I had to get up very early, to train a lot, and to rest very little. But it made me stronger and healthier.
I was very happy to return home and I spent several days in my summer cottage, I helped my grandpa to dig the garden, to water plants, and to gather fruit and vegetables. I was fishing with my grandpa and we were cooking fish together. Only insects were spoiling my good mood. I enjoyed floating by boat, swimming in the river and helping my grandparents.
During my summer holidays I made many new friends, read a lot of interesting books, 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.
Перевод:
После трудного и загруженного учебного года начались мои летние каникулы. Я был счастлив и стал планировать то, что можно сделать в течение летних каникул.
Я мечтал о далеких южных странах, в которые всегда хотел съездить, но мне пришлось ехать на побережье Азовского моря с родственниками. Вода там была очень теплой, т.к., как вы знаете, Азовского море неглубокое. Что мне действительно понравилось - это разнообразие развлечений - "водные горки", скутера и дискотеки.
Целыми днями нечего было делать, кроме как лежать на пляже и загорать. Я играл со своей младшей сестрой в песке и в море, учил её плавать. Потом я вернулся в Херсон и в городе гулял с друзьями, читал, слушал музыку, смотрел телевизор, играл в компьютерные игры. После этого я отправился в спортивный лагерь на неделю.
Это был очень полезный опыт, т.к. я должен был вставать очень рано, много тренироваться и мало отдыхать. Но это сделало меня сильнее и здоровее.
Я был очень счастлив вернуться домой и провести несколько дней на даче, я дедушке копать сад, поливать саженцы и собирать фрукты и овощи. Я рыбачил с дедушкой и мы вместе готовили рыбу. Только насекомые портили мое хорошее настроение. Я наслаждался плаванием на лодке, купанием в реке и тем, что моим бабушке и дедушке.
За летние каникулы я нашел много новых друзей, прочитал много интересных книг, узнал много полезных вещей. Теперь я чувствую себя готовым вернуться в школу.
Я счастлив встретить моих друзей и преподавателей.
