Holidays

After each term in school we have our holidays. It's fun to have holidays, you can do whatever you like, you don't have to get up too early, do your homework or think of troubles which occur very often at school.

Most of all I like summer holidays, they are the longest ones, though, when winter is snowy and frosty, I enjoy my winter holidays skating and skiing, sledging and making a snowman or having a fight with snowballs.

I’m going to tell you about my summer holidays I’m going to spend in Sochi. It will be next year. We are going to start for our journey to Sochi. First, we are going to travel to Odessa by plane and from there we will go to Sochi by boat. We are going to in Odessa for three days, our relatives live there and they will give us board and lodging. So we will have an excellent opportunity to go round the city, to see beautiful monuments to the famous people who had lived in Odessa, museums and the Odessa Opera House. The holiday will be great.
