Summer Holidays
I always enjoy summer. Do you? In summer, I like
to relax and forget about school. I don't have to get up early and I can see my friends any time I want.
I like to spend my holidays with my parents. We
usually go somewhere with our parents. We love to swim, lie in the sun, but most of
all I prefer going camping. We go to different places in
Britain and sometimes
abroad. In Britain, I like going to Devon, Somerset and Scotland –
but my favourite
place of all is Yorkshire. It has a lovely countryside and
fantastic old buildings. The only problem is the weather!
Last summer, I had two holidays. One was in
Somerset, in a little village by the sea, and another was in Naples, in Italy. I went with my mother to Italy – by train! It was unforgettable!
