Modern means of communication are changing every time. They influence our life immensely. If many centuries ago people did not know about them, nowadays we cannot imagine our life without them. Among modern means of communication, my most favourite are a cell phone and the Internet. I talk to my family and friends on phone every day and it is very comfortable. As for the Internet, virtual communication makes it easier to make friends. But, of course, means of communication are very harmful for our health. People are so addicted to them that they don't pay attention to the risk. I think that modern means of communication are harmful but, if to use them carefully, you can possibly avoid it.

I love summer holidays. I like it because during my holidays I can relax and have fun. I can do everything I like.  I don’t have to get up too early.  I don’t do my homework. I went  out with my friends, read, listened to music, watched TV, played computer games. I spent some weeks in a summer cottage with my grandparents. I helped my grandpa to dig the garden, to water plants, and to gather fruit and vegetables. Also I was fishing with my grandpa. We were cooking fish together. I enjoyed floating by boat, swimming in the river and helping my grandparents. During my summer holidays I made many new friends, read a lot of interesting books, got to know a lot of useful things. Now I feel ready to get back to school. I am happy to meet my friends and teachers.
