."Как я провела лето"
Летние каникулы всегда приносят приятные впечатления. Позади остались уроки, школьные звонки и переменки, а впереди — ожидание чего-то хорошего.

Вдвоем с сестрой мы ухаживаем за нашими овощами. На нашей зеленой грядке растут укроп, петрушка, щавель и редис. Мы с удовольствием поливаем и прополюємо свою зеленую грядку. И очень приятно слышать от мамы за обедом следующие слова: "Какой удивительно вкусный салат получился из ваших овощей! Какие вы умнички, мои девочки!"

Летом времени достаточно: можно и с подружками погулять, и в гости съездить, и в разные игры поиграть. Но больше всего я ожидаю поездки на море с родителями.

Я наконец-то научилась плавать этим летом и очень рада этому. Море мне очень нравится. Оно настолько глубокое и широкое, и такое загадочное, что иногда даже пугает своей непредсказуемостью.

Море бывает одновременно близким и далеким, теплым и прохладным. А как приятно в летний жаркий день окунуться в свежую прохладную воду! И плавать, нырять, плескаться!

Я разложил на столе морские раковины. Прикладывая их к уху, я различаю шум прибоя. И можно почувствовать силу морской волны, которая летит, и попадая на камень, выбрасывает мне в лицо множество ярких соленых брызг. Мне весело, я смеюсь вместе со всеми: с родителями, морем, солнцем и чайками.

                                      "As I spent summer"
Summer holidays always bring a pleasant experience. Left behind lessons, school bells and breaks, and ahead of the expectation of something good.

Together with my sister we take care of our vegetables. In our green garden to grow dill, parsley, sorrel and radishes. We pour and propoleo its green garden. And very nice to hear from my mother for dinner the following words: "What a surprisingly delicious salad out of your vegetables! You are geniuses, my girls!"

In the summer time is enough: and with friends to walk and visit to visit, and different games to play. But most of all I expect a trip to the sea with my parents.

I finally learned to swim this summer and very happy about that. The sea I really like. It is so deep and wide, and so mysterious that sometimes even frightening in its unpredictability.

The sea is simultaneously close and distant, warm and cool. And it's nice in the hot summer day to plunge into the fresh cool water! And to swim, dive, splash!

I laid on the table of a sea shell. Applying them to the ear, I can distinguish the sound of the surf. And you can feel the power of sea waves flying, falling on the stone, throws me in the face a lot of bright salt spray. I'm having fun, I laugh along with everyone-parents, sea, sun and seagulls

Summer - a walk with friends. Summer - a fun game in the sun.Summer in the Urals was hot, so I with my family often swam in the river. We picnicked and sunbathed.In rainy weather, I walked without an umbrella, so wet. I did it on purpose, it is only in the hot summer, you can enjoy the rain and not freeze.The most colorful memories of summer began to march. I and 8 persons were traveling in the mountains. We have conquered the mountain Konzhak 1500 meters high. We looked at the stars every night, warming up by the fire and sleeping in tents.Summer 2016 has passed too quickly. But it has become one of the best periods of my life.
