My Summer Holidays (a letter to my friend)

How are you getting on? I have not heard from you for ages. Where have you been? I am fine. You asked me about my summer holidays, so I'm glad to write about it.

This summer I rested in the village. I visited my grandmother and helped her about the house. I also watered the flowers. It was my duty. In our garden there are so many tasty berries: raspberry, strawberry and wild strawberry. I love berries. My grandmother and I picked them and enjoyed ourselves.

In July I went to my grandfather, to Rybinsk. There we went to the forest to gather mushrooms. In the forest our parents found a lot of mushrooms. Once we went to the cinema to see a very interesting movie. We also went to the pool. There was a lot of fun! Sometimes we went to the river to swim. On the river we had rest with my relatives, barbecuing and swimming. It was really a great adventure!

Then we went to St. Petersburg to visit my uncle and my aunt. We all went to the zoo. There were a lot of different animals: camels, tigers, bears, a lama, wolves, flamingos and many others. Most of all I liked the peacock. He has a very beautiful and lush tail. I also liked the tiger. He jumped up and played with his toys.

There were so many interesting events last summer! I think I'll remember them for a long time!

I am sorry, I have to stop now. Please write how you spend your summer holidays this year. Say hello to your relatives. Hope to hear from you soon.

lots of love,
Xenia.

There are so many delicious berries in our garden: raspberries, strawberries and wild strawberries. I love berries. My grandmother and I collected them together and treated ourselves.

In July, I went to my grandfather in Rybinsk. There we went to the forest to pick mushrooms. Our parents found a lot of mushrooms in the forest. Once we went to the cinema to watch an interesting film. We also went to the pool. It was fun there! Sometimes we went to the river to swim. When we rested with my relatives on the river, we grilled shish kebabs and swam. It was a wonderful adventure!

Then we went to St. Petersburg to visit my aunt and uncle. We all went to the zoo together. There were many different animals: camels, tigers, bears, llamas, wolves, flamingos and many others. Most of all I liked the peacock. He has a very beautiful and bushy tail. I also liked the tiger. He jumped up and played with toys.

There were so many exciting events last summer! I think I will remember them for a long time!

Unfortunately, it's time to end. Please write how you spent your summer holidays this year. Say hello to your relatives. Hope to get an answer from you soon.

Vacation essay example

It was terribly hot in June. Students were all looking forward to holidays. When our school broke up for summer vacation on the 3rd of June, we felt a great relief.

My father made a program to go to Mussoorie. I requested him to spend a few days at Haridwar also.

Haridwar is a beautiful town with lots of temples. It is situated on the bank of the holy Ganges. It is considered as a holy place of the Hindus. We stayed there for five days. We had jolly good time there. We used to go to the Ganges for a bath in the morning and in the evening. The water was very cold but we enjoyed it a lot. There was a great rush of people at the ghat. In the evenings, the ghat presented a gala appearance. The whole place hummed with life. Thousands of people could be seen coming and going.

After six days we went up to Mussoorie. It is a beautiful hill station and has been rightly called the “Queen of Hills”. We stayed there for about a week. The weather was very pleasant and the scenery simply charming. The atmosphere enjoyed long walks in the mornings and in the evenings. We also used to go to see pictures and for strolling. We went to see all famous places of Mussoorie.

After a week, we came back to Ludhiana. We bought some gifts for our friends. The weather in the plains was still very hot. This is how I spent my summer vacation. I can say with reasonable pride that I spent my vacation quite profitable.

In the evenings, this place took on a festive look. The whole place was filled with life. You could see thousands of people coming and going.

After six days we set off for Mussoorie. This is a beautiful hilly place, which is rightly called the "Queen of the Hills". We stayed there for about a week. The weather was very pleasant, and the scenery is simply charming. We enjoyed long walks in the mornings and evenings. We also went to the art exhibition and just walked around.

A week later we returned to Ludhiana. We bought gifts for our friends. The weather on the plains was still very hot. This is how I spent my summer holidays. I can say, not without pride, that I spent the holidays quite usefully.

Text in English with translation "How I spent summer holidays - How I spent summer holidays"

Summer holidays are the longest and the funniest vacations in the year. We're always looking forward to the summer vacations. And when they come, we put our school backpacks aside and completely forget about boring school life. It's time to have fun and take a rest!

This summer the weather was great! It was neither too hot nor cold. At the beginning of June (early in June), I decided immediately to enroll in the swimming pool, because I am fond of swimming. Dad insisted that in addition I should sign up for a karate hobby group. He believes that every man should be able to stand up for himself. I also think so, therefore I gladly accepted the offer. My sister enjoys dancing, and we enrolled her in the dance-club.

The whole June and half of July I was engaged in the hobby circle, walked and ran about the street with friends. From time to time I did the homework that teachers assigned for summer vacations. At the end of July we went to the sea with my parents. We sunbathed, made tours and talked with strangers there.

In August, they bought me a summer camp voucher for 10 days. Camp is the most amusing place where I happened to stay. Every day we were doing something interesting and fascinating. We walked down the hills, went hiking, did rock climbing. From time to time we learned to draw, play the guitar and the synthesizer. But what I liked the most - gatherings around the campfire. We sang songs, told horror stories to one another and heated ourselves at the fire there.

I always use summer holidays that I need for my future studies. I improve my English, read literature and some historical materials. This work brings benefit and pleasure: reading books and listening to English songs, watching documentaries and training your memory while memorizing some verses, English phrases or dates. I am glad that my mother has taught me to do it easily and without any nervous tension. If you treat this work as a game or an amusement you can enjoy a part of the summer and facilitate for your future busy learning season.

This year my family and I spent ten days at the seaside in Odessa. It is a beautiful city on the coast of the Black Sea and there"s always plenty of entertainment and wonderful beaches. our relatives or in a hotel. This time we did not only beached, but also went on boat trips, visited a water park and went fishing. The weather in late June was hot and most of the time we spent near the water. In the evenings we went to a restaurant and walked along the famous promenade. Odessa is gorgeous in the evening.

In July I was in the country house with my grandparents. The terrain is very beautiful here: the lake, the fields, a lot of trees. The garden is planted with fruit trees, and there are a lot of vegetables. In the nearby village one can buy fresh milk and eggs. If there were the Internet and TV, it would be possible to spend the entire summer in the village. Unfortunately, the summer house is far from the city and we have to get there by train or a shuttle bus. To my shame, I could not do without all modern conveniences for a long time and my visit lasted not more than a week.

In July, I was at the dacha with my grandparents. The area here is very beautiful: lake, fields, many trees. Fruit trees, raspberry bushes and many vegetables grow in the garden. In the neighboring village you can buy fresh milk and eggs. If there was Internet and TV, then it would be possible to spend the whole summer, as in the countryside. Unfortunately, the dacha is far from the city and you have to get there by train or shuttle bus. To my shame, I cannot go long without all modern conveniences and my visit lasted no more than a week.

In late August our friends and the family made a trip to Bulgaria. It was a wonderful time. Several excursions to the small towns on the coast, a lot of delicious food and, of course, a beach holiday. We stayed in a magnificent hotel with its beautiful grounds, excellent cuisine and entertainment. I met a few guys from other countries and we had fun on the beach and in the evening. With some of them now I correspond and we plan to meet next year.

Summer is coming and I'm looking forward to it. It's my favorite season, of course, because the weather is great and you don't have to go to school. After a long and difficult school year you get really tired of studies, so I’m going to enjoy my summer holidays and have much fun. I hope they will be as exciting as my last summer holidays were. I already have a lot of plans for them.

I would like to spend the first summer month in the country, at my grandparents’. My friends and cousins will be waiting for me there. I miss them so much. We shall go fishing, sunbathing, swimming, horse-riding and playing football. And I'm going to help my grandparents about the garden. So I will be outdoors all the time.

I can't wait for July because our family will travel to the seaside. We shall stay in a rented house for 2 weeks. I really enjoy the clean air and the beautiful scenery with beaches and mountains near the warm sea. I am going to swim and dive a lot. And I want to try the national cuisine, rich in fruits, vegetables and fish.

As for August, I would like to stay in the city and spend the time with my friends walking around, going to the cinema and cafes, playing computer games. My dream is to sleep as much as I like and to do what I like. I will ride my bike, go skateboarding or roller-skating in the park.

I hope that the summer of 2016 will be the best summer in my life and I will start my new school year happy, suntanned and refreshed!
