At last holidays came! I was very happy!  I didn't have  to get up early in the morning and run to school. I could stay in the bed till midday. But I didn't want to sleep. There were a lot of things to do. The weather was fine so my friends and I went for a walk every day. It was fun! Then I spent a month in the country where my grandfather and grandmother lived. It was great. I drank milk and ate a lot of tasty food which my granny prepared for me. I have many friends in this village because I go there every holidays. We played football and tennis every day! There is a small river near the forest and we swam when the weather was fine. It was greaat!  I liked my holidays very much.  

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 месяц 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! Около леса есть небольшая речка. Мы купались, когда погода была хорошая. Это было здорово!  Мне очень понравились мои каникулы.

1) To answer the question, "What kind of weather will we have (Future Simple Active, мн. ч.) next winter?" is (Present Simple Active, ед.ч.) an entirely different kind of problem from saying what the weather will be (Future Simple Active, ед.ч.) like in New York or Boston tomorrow or the next day.
2) No one to date has demonstrated (Present Perfect Active, ед.ч.) ability to forecast local day-to-day weather changes with any significant degree of skill more than four or five days ahead.
3)  We are working (Present Continuous Active, мн. ч.) on the solar-weather analogue approach to the preparation of a weather forecast for the two or three seasons ahead.
4)  For a long time to come, seasonal weather forecasts will be based (Future Simple Passive, мн. ч.) on a statistical or pattern analogy.
5)  More distant conditions or physical factors do not have (Present Simple Active, мн. ч.) time to make their influences felt within a day or two.
6)  It was (Past Simple Active, ед. ч.) we who select the two or three analogue years which correspond best to the current year in the large-scale weather patterns of the northern hemisphere.
7)  The article said that we had (Past Simple Active, мн. ч.) empirical as opposed to scientific forecasting.
8)  We have selected (Present Perfect Active, мн. ч.) the two or three analogue years which correspond best to the current year in the large-scale weather patterns of the northern hemisphere.
