seaside holiday in my country
All the people enjoy summer holidays very much. It is a great pleasure to have a rest after a whole year of hard work or study. People like to travel during their summer holidays. Some people go abroad to see new countries, some people prefer to go to the country-side to enjoy country-life far from noise and fuss of big cities.
Some people like to spend their holidays in cities, visiting theatres, museums and going sightseeing. But a great number of people go to the seaside in summer.
I like to have rest at the seaside best of all. I do not like crowds when I am on holiday. My family and I always have our holiday on the coast. Sea and sunshine, that is what we look forward to every summer. Hotels at the large seaside towns are rather expensive, so we usually go to a holiday camp.
Last year we spent our holidays in such a camp. Each day was full of small joys. We swam in the sea, lay in the sun, played different games and had a wonderful time. We lived there for about a month and did not even notice when the time came for us to return home. The time flew very quickly. It was a wonderful rest.
1 I've collected all the documents that (are needed) for the house sale. Can you take them to the lawyer's office (to be signed)?
2 Look, this is a secret. Come into the garden where we (will not be overheard).
3 If you hadn't been so late for work, you (would not have been sacked).
4 This office is very inefficient. The phone (is never answered) promptly, no proper records (are kept), and, worst of all, no reports (have been written) since I started work here.
5 I was so worried about my garden while I was in hospital, but I have very good neighbours. When I got home, I could see that the vegetables (had been watered) every day and the grass (cut) regularly.
6 Can you come to the police station? The man who (is suspected) of stealing your wallet (is being arrested) and (questioned) at the moment. The police hope he (will be identified), either by you or another witness.
7 We had hoped to see several famous paintings, but the gallery (was being reorganised) at the time of our visit and most of the really valuable works (were being moved/had been moved) for safe keeping.
