walnut dormouse

Ah, summer! Happy time. It's time for warm days, sunny weather, fruits and vegetables.

I fondly remember last summer. I spent June and July with my great-grandmother Vera in the village. I woke up very early there. And in a village it doesn't work in a different way. The day there begins with the first crowing of roosters. My grandmother's farm is large, and I tried to help her: I watered the beds, cleaned the house, picked berries, weeded the garden. AT free time my friend and his dad and I went fishing. We brought the catch home and fed the cats. I really liked the village. I learned a lot and had a good rest!

And in August, my parents and I went to the Black Sea in the city of Sochi. I really like the sea! It is so warm and affectionate. I learned to swim, snorkeled and watched beautiful fish. Sun, sea, mountains - all this is unforgettable!

KHALIKOVA FARID

I love summer for its beauty and warmth. In summer, everything is so beautiful: beautiful flowers, colorful butterflies, amazing insects.

This summer was fun and interesting. At the beginning of summer I went to Bashkiria. I swam in the lake, took part in the games on the Sabantuy. I remember visiting the Bird Park very much. There I saw different birds and animals, rode in a carriage, walked along the suspension bridge. I'm looking forward to next summer!

CHERKASHINA DASHA

Summer…what a beautiful word! It was special for me this year, because I moved to the second grade, I became more mature.

I spent the summer at the dacha, where I did a lot amazing discoveries. One morning I saw an amazing butterfly. She flapped her huge yellow wings. Long mustache and proboscis were unusual shape. We learned that this is a migratory butterfly. And in nature there are amazing beetles, the abdomen of which glows green in the dark. At night, a family of hedgehogs came to our site: mom, dad and a small cub. We gave them treats in advance, quietly sat down and waited for them to appear. The largest hedgehog sat in the beds under the foliage and watched the others eat. Probably protecting his family. During the meal, hedgehogs champed funny. After dinner, the friendly family went into the forest.

So many interesting things nearby! Just take a closer look and you will see the world in all its beauty and diversity.

And now it's September, the beginning of the school year, and new discoveries are ahead!

SHORNIKOV VLADISLAV

A lot of exciting things happened this summer. The most important thing is that we moved to Shchapovo. During the move, I helped my mother, took care of my sister Dasha. I met the guys and now I have many friends.

In the summer I visited different places. We also went to Ukraine. There I read until lunch, studied the multiplication table, and when the heat subsided, we went to swim in the sea. I especially remember the trip to the Odessa Dolphinarium. We watched the show. Unusual artists performed: dolphins, whales, fur seals. I remember Umka. This is fur seal. It was very interesting! This is how I spent my summer.

NERSESYAN AMALIA

This summer I spent on the Black Sea, where we went with the whole family: mom, dad, me and my little sister. The road to the sea is very long and tiring, but when I see it, all fatigue passes. This year the sea was warm and clean. And one day it began to rain and jellyfish began to swim to the shore. I collected them in a bucket. In the evening we usually went for a walk along the embankment, admired the sunset and the night sea. We ate ice cream and took pictures with different animals. Once we went on an excursion to the mountains. A fast river flowed in the gorge of high and beautiful mountains. The water in it was cold, but my mother allowed me to swim. How much joy and delight!

This summer was very fun and memorable! Too bad it ended so soon!

GRIGOROVICH SAVVA

I like summer very much! This summer, my mother and I went to the zoo. There I saw flamingos, ducks, an elephant and many, many different animals. But most of all I liked the monkey. She is very funny! After the zoo, we went to the planetarium, where we watched a movie about black holes. It was a little scary!

Back in the summer I often went fishing and caught fourteen crucians. Mom fried the fish and we ate it with pleasure. It was delicious!

Although there was a lot of entertainment in the summer, I did not forget about my studies: I read books and learned the multiplication table. It's a pity that summer ended so quickly!

IMIRZYAN ARMINA

I spent this summer in the village of Shchapovo. I walked with my girlfriends in the yard, we built a hut and played in it. The older girls taught me how to weave baubles and beaded jewelry. On weekends, I went with my parents and brother to the forest and to the river. We swam and collected shells. Then we ate on the shore and I went to the field to pick flowers. Mom showed me medicinal plants and told me how they are useful for humans. And when the weather was bad, I helped my mother around the house, I even came up with a fruit salad myself and called it “Fruit Explosion”. The rest of the time I studied with my brother (he needs to be prepared for school), I read to him the books that I was assigned for the summer. Summer is great!

GRECHUSHNIKOVA DIANA

I spent my holidays at sea in Feodosia. We went to rest Anna beaches in Koktebel and Sudak. I rode on the sea in a balloon, a catamaran and on a boat. I saw dolphins and marine fish. In the evenings, we walked around the city for a long time, buying souvenirs and gifts for friends. The weather was amazing the whole time! I really enjoyed my holidays!

VINYTSKY RADISLAV

I spent the summer with my grandmother in the village. I have a lot of friends there. With them I went to the forest for mushrooms and berries. We have a big river in our village. My grandmother and I went swimming and sunbathing, and my grandfather went fishing.

And we also have a goat. Her name is Belka. My grandmother and I went to graze her in the meadow, and in the evening she gave us tasty milk. Good in the countryside in summer! It is a pity that the holidays ended quickly.

Why didn't we write? It seems that the holidays were long, and there were a lot of events. There is nothing to tell the teacher. It seems that today's children fall into a stupor in the same way, holding a pen in the first days of school. And they write this ... We have collected for you the funniest pearls from school essays about summer.

“How I spent the summer is nobody’s business. This is my personal matter, since summer is my personal time, I am not obliged to report for it in my essay. We must respect human rights! And if you give me a bad mark for this essay, then we, Ekaterina Mikhailovna, will see you at the European Court.”

“There is no summer. I have never seen summer. After spring comes autumn. Everything is green in spring, everything is yellow in autumn, everything is white in winter. What about in summer? Summer does not exist. I didn't notice summer. Either it was still spring, or it was already autumn.

“Twitter, series and food. #I said everything.

“I spent this summer with my imaginary friend Akaki. All summer he accompanied me on my adventures. I also hung out with cows and chickens in the village. I was so bored that I talked with tomatoes and cucumbers, but they turned out to be somehow silent.

"Well, I didn't do it badly. Except that I spent almost two months in a godforsaken village. But, grandma's pies were of the highest taste quality. And it was fun with the guys whom I hadn’t seen for five years for sure.” (Spelling and punctuation preserved. - Note ed.)

“Well, it’s been a good summer. He didn't do anything, he ate, he didn't go anywhere. I also looked at X-Men, but somehow they are not very good. I don’t want to go to school, it would be better if the summer didn’t end.”

“I spent the rest of the summer with my grandmother in the country, she always has a lot of work, so I helped her: I chopped, sawed and dug.”

“From June 1 to July 15, my grandmother and I picked berries, and from July 16 to August 31 - mushrooms. In addition, haymaking is planned, and we are also fattening a pig.”

“This summer I didn’t rest at all. I worked hard and hard. Took out the trash. I bought bread.

“In the summer I went to my grandmother in the village. The village is called Bet Zera, it's in Israel. It's good in the village: you can read books, play the violin and piano, and eat. Good summer in Israel!”

Summer for me was not rich in adventure and travel. I stayed in the city with my parents. While my parents went to work, I helped them around the house: I washed dishes, cleaned and even sometimes cooked dinner.

Almost every day my friend Lesha and I visited each other, played computer games, went for walks, rode bicycles and skateboards. Lesha's mom taught us how to cook delicious cool lemonade to escape the heat a little, we cooked it almost every day.

During the summer I read a lot, I also watched educational programs on TV about animals. In the middle of the summer my parents took a vacation and we spent more time together now. In the evenings they often played board games, watched comedies and went for a walk.

Back in the summer, we went to the dacha to help my grandmother with the garden, but this was infrequent. We stayed with her for a few days. Mom helped her twist jars, cook jam, close compote. Dad helped with minor repairs, twisted shelves, cabinet doors, door handles. My parents and I also often went on picnics outside the city. We always took something tasty with us: sandwiches, fruits, lemonade or cold fruit drinks, sometimes we fried barbecue or sausages.

If we stopped by the water, then we also swam. I liked being in nature, my dad coached me in football, we made gates from large branches, and the ball was brought from home. While we were playing, my mother collected flowers into a beautiful bouquet, which she then brought home. I don't regret that we didn't go anywhere this summer. We spent a lot of time together and did a lot of important and useful things. We had a good rest and at home, the main thing is that we were together.

Composition 1: How I want to spend my summer

Hooray! Here comes the summer. This is the most favorite time of the year, as you are looking forward to it. I was really looking forward to these holidays, because in the summer there is an opportunity to relax and gain new strength for the next academic year. I decided that I would spend these summer holidays in the village with my grandmother. There is very beautiful nature and clean air.

In the village there is an opportunity to diversify your holiday, as there are many ways of active recreation. Every summer my friends and I go to the river and swim, which is very good for our health. There is an opportunity to go to the forest for berries and mushrooms, which are very abundant at this time. I love fishing very much and when I have a free minute, I go to the river, where I can spend the whole day.

The air in the village is very fresh and one breathes very calmly and freely, and not like in the city, which is full of harmful emissions. In inclement weather, there is also something to do: reading books. I really like to spend my summer holidays in the countryside and if there is a choice: a city or a village, then I choose the second way of rest and I will not exchange it for anything. For the whole summer, you can gain strength and fruitfully use them throughout the school year. I look forward to the end of the school year and mentally prepare for my next vacation.

Composition 2: What will I do in the summer

In summer, each person can find many interesting things to do, because summer is three months of free time that needs to be occupied with something. However, it is necessary to combine business with pleasure. In the summer you can go to the sea and relax after a busy school year. If knowledge is important for a person, he can do learning activities, which will significantly increase his success and grades next year.

Summer is the time when you can walk all day long. At this time of the year, you can earn some extra money if your age allows you to do it.

In a word, whatever you do in the summer, the main thing is that it brings you both pleasure and benefit!

Essay how i spent my summer

The last bell rang. The hot summer time has come and the summer holidays have begun. For an excellent end to the school year, my parents fulfilled my long-standing and seemingly unrealizable dream. They gave me a soft and fluffy puppy, like a bear cub. I was very happy, together with the guys on the street we ran and frolicked, rode bicycles, played with a puppy. Everyone liked him very much.

The first time, together with my faithful friend - a puppy, I spent in the village with my grandparents, I love them very much. I really enjoyed helping them with the housework and spending time in the garden. We went to the forest for mushrooms and berries, I collected bouquets of amazing wildflowers. I enjoyed nature and the unusual singing of birds. During the day they swam in the river in clean and cool water. In the evenings I spent time with my friends. We played different and exciting games, sang songs and danced.

In the middle of summer, my parents and I went to the sea. The weather was wonderful, we spent time on the sandy beach, swimming and sunbathing. We went on excursions to the mountains, where I was amazed at how picturesque and beautiful nature is. Ride on a ship on the endless sea. We went to the zoo, fed the animals, I was especially delighted with the monkeys.

We visited the dolphinarium, where I got a lot of positive impressions. I brought home many interesting souvenirs and photographs that will remind me of my first trip to the sea for many years to come.

My parents and I often went out into the countryside, rested, cooked kulesh and grilled kebabs.

Another circus came to our city, I was delighted with clowns and trained animals.

Unfortunately, the holidays flew by quickly, I began to prepare for my studies. My parents bought me new clothes and school supplies.

Summer brought me a lot of vivid impressions and unforgettable moments.

Essay how i spent my summer

Finally the hard time is over academic year and the long-awaited summer holidays began. Hot long summer days have arrived. Until late in the evening we spent time in the yards. We played football with the guys from neighboring yards, I was a goalkeeper, I was very good at it.

My parents and I went on picnics to the shore of an unusually beautiful lake. It was very pleasant to spend time there. Bathed in clear water, fried meat and vegetables, played badminton. This summer I learned to swim. I decided to join the pool.

My father and I went fishing early in the morning. I really enjoyed spending time near the river. The beauty and silence of nature is mesmerizing. From the fish we caught, we cooked a delicious fish soup.

For a month I went to a children's camp on the Black Sea coast. There I met many boys and girls, we exchanged addresses and phone numbers, we will keep in touch and be friends.
In the morning, after breakfast, we went to the beach, sunbathed, swam in the water and collected beautiful shells on the shore. I brought them home, arranged them beautifully on a shelf, in memory of the camp.

After dinner I went to mugs. We burned various drawings on the board. Wonderful crafts were made from cardboard and paper. Painted on glass. They sculpted toys and plates out of clay. I brought these crafts as souvenirs to my relatives and friends. They were very pleased.
In the evening we spent time by the fire, sang, danced, played a variety of exciting games. It was a pity to part with new friends.

At the end of the summer I had a birthday, my parents gave me and my friends a wonderful holiday. In the cafe on the summer terrace, tables were laid for us with very tasty dishes. Everything was decorated with balloons, various interesting contests were held. It was a lot of fun.

It was a great vacation and I look forward to the next one.

Option 5

Many spend their summers on the warm southern seas, but this summer we decided to go to the White Sea. It is located in the north of Russia and is also called Studeny. There are islands in the very center of the sea. They are called Solovetsky. This is where my parents and I went. The trip took place at the end of July, so for the first half of the summer I made a list of necessary things and read information about Solovki on the Internet.

The Solovetsky Islands include several islands:

• Big Solovetsky,
• Anzer,
• Big and Small Muksalma,
• Zayatsky.

There is something to see there:

• monastery,
• ax mountain,
• labyrinths,
• handmade dam,
• lake-canal system of the island,
• Filippovsky gardens,
• Botanical Garden.

On the first day, after we arrived and checked into the hotel, we decided to go for a walk to the cape of labyrinths. It was located near our hotel, just a 5-minute walk. The labyrinth is made of stones. True, they made it recently, but the real ancient labyrinths are located on Bolshoi Zayatsky Island. Who and why built them on the island is unknown, but they are more than a few thousand years old. You can’t walk through the labyrinths on Zayatsky Island, because the island is a nature reserve.

On the second day, we rented bicycles and went to the island of Bolshaya Muksalma, which is connected with the island of Bolshoy Solovetsky by a man-made dam made of huge stones 1 km long. When we rented bicycles, we were told that the road to the dam is bad, the distance to it is 11 kilometers, some of which the bicycles will have to be carried by ourselves. It will take an hour and a half. To say that the road is bad is to say nothing! Huge puddles, swamps - we all met it! But the dam is worth seeing.

On Mount Sekirnaya, there was an excursion on the third day, there is a skit - a lighthouse, and from there a beautiful view of the Big Solovetsky Island opens from the observation deck! Sekirnaya mountain is the most high point islands. It is not easy to get up there - a wooden staircase leads upstairs. They say that a person who climbs it is forgiven 1 sin!

The main attraction of the Big Solovetsky Island - the Monastery - is a unique building. The walls are made of huge boulders. This is a kind of fortress that has withstood several sieges. The monastery used to be a prison. Cameras have been preserved, which, if desired, you can look into. We went there on our last day on the island.

We bought home the most popular souvenirs from Solovki - roe gingerbread, seaweed marmalade, fried Solovetsky herring and a few other trinkets! We did not have time to see all the sights of the Solovetsky Islands, so we decided to return there next year.

6 option

This summer was just unforgettable and somehow unusual. And that's what I'm going to talk about today.

I just love summer time. This is the time to relax and do nothing. And most importantly, you don't have to go to school.

This summer I went to my grandmother in the village. Not for the whole summer, but for about one month. This village is an hour's drive from the city. There is a little grandmother's hut. Why a hut? The fact is that the house is very small, it has only three rooms. The house is adobe, not built of bricks. My grandmother has many animals and a large garden. It was a great surprise for me to see cows, ducks, geese and chickens. Most of all I fell in love with a dog named Tuzik. Now I have another friend.

I had to work a little with my grandmother. But it was even interesting. In the morning we got up early to feed the animals and clean their barns. Then I could go to pasture sheep with a neighbor. And he could look at how the grandmother milks the cows. There have been many revelations for me this summer. Starting with how cute chickens can be, and ending with the fact that the toilet can be located outside. I was very surprised by the summer shower, the water in which is heated by the sun.

I also had to dig a little garden and pull out the weeds there. I remember how scared I was when I saw an earthworm. In general, while I was with my grandmother, I managed to miss my parents and younger brother. How I still love them!

After returning home, my mother was very glad to see me, and I was glad to see her. We went for walks in parks with children's attractions. There I rode swans and on a Ferris wheel. In those days when we took our brother with us, my mother bought us ice cream and we licked it for a long time.

This summer I had a chance to visit the zoo. There you could feed and even touch cute animals. Most of all I remember the giraffe. He is so funny and tall. And least of all I liked the wild boar. It's small and smelly.

This summer, I wanted to visit the water park again, but my brother got sick and we were never able to visit this cool place.

This summer has been one of the best of my life. I will look forward to the next summer months to learn and see something new and interesting for myself.

My summer

On the next vacation, my parents suggested going abroad. I gladly agreed, because an exciting plane trip to another country awaited ahead. Shortly before the flight, I had to collect the necessary things, and was in anticipation of an unforgettable vacation.

July 21 is the long-awaited day. When we got on board the plane, it was a little scary. When they rose above the ground and looked out the window, the view turned out to be amazing, the fear quickly dissipated. We landed in the amazing country of Portugal. Here we were expected by a chic hotel and colorful excursions. First of all, we went for a walk around the capital of the country - Lisbon. We enjoyed the masterpieces of architectural art for a long time, visited the towers of Torri de Belen. I was incredibly surprised by the openwork balconies, battlements and gorgeous views that opened from the top of the castle. After a little rest, we went to the lovely beaches strewn with white sand, swam in clear warm water. At the end of the day just sit on the beach and enjoy the tide of waves.

During the holidays, every moment we learned something new. A wonderful trip on the yellow tram, the symbol of the city, amazing fado, a chic oceanarium and an incredible water park. A lot of exotic food was sold on the streets, which was insanely tasty and nutritious.

Every moment spent in Lisbon will be remembered forever. I will never forget the sympathetic people, luxurious castles and well-groomed beaches, and lovely views from the top of the mountain. When it came time to go back, it was very sad. I wanted to lie carefree on the beach and visit other interesting places. On the way back, I was not afraid at all, I told my family and friends about wonderful places and our adventures in new country. I hope that every summer we will be able to discover new cities for ourselves, and vacations abroad will become an annual tradition in our family. Traveling inspires, stimulates to work harder and study well.
