Читайте, читайте, читайте…
Читайте много. Постоянное чтение на английском языке поможет вам освежить и пополнить свой словарный запас. Кроме того, обильное чтение является ключом к совершенствованию языка, в том числе и разговорных навыков, поскольку в процессе чтения вы произвольно и непроизвольно запоминаете и отрабатываете стандартные языковые фразы.
MY WINTER HOLIDAYS
Winter holidays begin at the end of December and last about two weeks.During winter holidays we celebrateNew Year and Christmas. We have New Year’s Day on the 1-st of January. Our family and I prepare for it. Usually we buy a New Year tree and presents for each other. I like todecorate our New Year tree with toys. There are New Year parties for children at schools and theatres.Cinemas show children cartoons.
During my winter holidays I like to skate and ski, if the weather is good. There is askating-rink not far from my house. I like to play with my friends hockey on the ice. Many children go to the skating-rinks to skate. Small children usually playsnowballs or make snowmen. On Sundays all the members of our family — my mother, my father, my sister and I, go to the park to ski. I am fond of skiing.
During my holidays I spend a lot of time with my friends in the fresh air. We like to ride on the sledges.
When the weather is bad I stay at home and watch TV. Sometimes my friends come to see me and we play different games or listen to the music.
English and American pupils have their winter holidays from the 25-th of December, when it is Christmas Day in Great Britain and USA.
I like my winter holidays, but soon it’s time to go to school.
MY SUMMER HOLIDAYS
Summer holidays are the longest of all the other holidays. I like summer holidays because I have a lot of free time. Usually I spend June in thecountry where my grandparents live. I help them to work in the kitchen-garden. There are many apple-trees and cherry-trees in our garden. When it is summer we often have a lot of apples and cherries. There is a river not far from our house. Every day I swim, lie in the sun and play with my friendson the bank of the river.
Sometimes we go fishing.
In July I go to the camp. There is a big swimming-pool in the camp. We have happy time at the camp. Every day we play different games, swim in the swimming-pool and listen to the music. There is a forest not far from our camp and we often go there to pick up berries, such as raspberries, strawberries, red bilberries. In the afternoon we watch TV, read books and magazines. In the evening we dance and go for a walk.
I spend August with my parents at the sea-side. We usually go to Sochi. There are many sights in that town. I like to swim in the Black Sea and spend a lot of time on the beach.
Usually I return to Moscow at the middle of August. I meet my friends, and prepare for a new school year.
I like summer and my summer holidays very much.
