Наконец наступили каникулы! Я был очень счастлив! Я не должен был вставать рано утром и бежать в школу. Я мог оставаться в постели до полудня. Но я не хотел спать. Было так много дел. Погода была хорошая, так что мои друзья и я ходили гулять каждый день. Это было весело! Затем я провел несколько дней в деревне, где живут мои дедушка и бабушка . Это было здорово. Я пил молоко и ел много вкусной пищи, которую моя бабушка готовила для меня. У меня много друзей в этой деревне, потому что я езжу туда каждые каникулы. Мы даже играли в футбол и теннис! Но каникулы закончились, и я вернулся в город снова. Мне очень понравились мои каникулы.
