How I spent my summer vacation " I spent this summer very interesting. I went to school camp in June. There we played different games, went to the library, participated in various competitions. And in July I went to the Young Guard camp. Here I made friends with many girls. In the morning we ran and did exercises. There were various activities in the camp. We played sports games. I learned to play volleyball and chess. There was a lake nearby. There we swam and learned to swim. Strawberries grew near the lake. We collected and ate it. The nature in those places is very beautiful.
