Это лето было интересным. Первый месяц отдыха очень походил на предыдущие летние каникулы, поскольку я оставался в городе. Однако последующие два летних месяца оказались для меня потрясающе интересными — я провел их в деревне у тети. Именно с этими днями, проведенными за городом, у меня связаны самые яркие события и неизгладимые впечатления моего лета.
Время в деревне проходит неторопливо, совсем не так, как в мегаполисах. Создается ощущение, что целый месяц, тогда как на самом деле — всего неделя. Мое утро обычно начинается с тете в огороде. Наша деревня находится вдали от поселка, и вода из-под крана является неслыханной роскошью. Поэтому я хожу к колодцу с двумя старыми железными ведрами. Вода в нем потрясающе чистая и очень холодная. Еще я тете по дому, но при первой возможности бегу играть с друзьями.
У меня есть хорошие друзья в деревне. Мы проводим вместе все свободное время. В наиболее жаркое время мы часами сидим на берегу речки. Искупавшись, играемся вовсю и смотрим на проходящие баржи. Однажды мне влетело от моей тети за то, что я не пришел на обед. А на самом деле мне совсем не хотелось есть, поскольку вместе с другом Пашкой мы пекли в костре картошку. Это такое удовольствие перекладывать из руки в руку раскаленную картошку, а потом ломать ее и съедать по кусочку. Согласны, что это не тарелка с приготовленным супом? А главное — сколько романтики и счастья в этих летних днях, проведенных как будто в ином мире!
"Essay how I spent my summer"
This summer has been interesting. The first month was very much like the previous summer vacation, because I stayed in the city. However, a subsequent two months of the summer was for me really interesting — I spent them in the village with my aunt. These days spent outside the city, I relate the most memorable events and lasting impressions of my summer.Time in the village takes place slowly, not like in Metropolitan areas. The feeling that a whole month has passed, while actually it's just a week. My day usually begins with her aunt in the garden. Our village is away from the village and the water from the tap is unheard of luxury. So I go to the well with two old iron buckets. The water is stunningly clean and very cold. I also help my aunt around the house, but at the first opportunity ran to play with friends.
I have good friends in the village. We spend together all free time. During the hottest time we spent hours sitting on the river Bank. Swim, play in full and look at the passing barges. Once I was scolded by my aunt for what I came for lunch. And in fact I did not want, because together with a friend, Pasha, we baked in the fire potatoes. It's such a pleasure to shift from hand to hand a hot potato and then break it and eat it piece by piece. I agree that it is not a bowl with the prepared soup? And most importantly — how much romance and happiness in these summer days as if in another world!
