Hurray ! We are we having holidays!
Autumn holidays are very short - only 10 days.
I`m not going to travel, I won`t go to the seaside, I won`t visit my Granny in the village. However, I like autumn holidays. I will have a lot of time for my favourite activities.
In the afternoon I`ll play with my little sister and walk with her outdoors. We will pick up yellow beautiful leaves and watch the smart trees.
In the evenings I will read books and improve my English language.
It`s so great to have autumn holidays!
