Pupils at school have their vacations four times a year — in winter, in autumn, in spring, and in summer.
As for me, the best holidays are in summer. All 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 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 and museums. 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 holidays. My parents and I always have our holidays on the coast. Sea and sunshine, that is what we look forward to every summer. Usually we 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. It was a nice rest. If everything is OK this year we will go to the seaside again.
