Как я провел выходные выходные у меня удались на славу! И очень хорошо, что накануне дождь. В субботу утром к нам приехал в гости дядя Петя, папин брат. Последние два года он жил в Индии, поэтому сказал, что очень хочет съездить в лес по грибы. Он очень соскучился по России и по нашим лесам. Мы встретили дядю Петю и сначала прогуляли немного по городу. А потом сели в машину и отправились в лес за грибами. В лесу было красиво, грибов было много, я видел выводок ежат и вспугнул какую-то зверушку - наверное, зайца. Потом мы устроились на берегу маленькой речки, разожгли огонь в мангале и стали жарить на огне мясо, овощи и грибы. Было очень вкусно. Дядя Петя рассказал много интересных и смешных историй. Он бывал во многих странах и многое видел. Потом мы собрались и поехали домой.В воскресенье мы проводили гостя на вокзале и я побежал к другу, с которым мы договорились сходить в кино. После кино друг попросил меня ему с русским, а он мне подсказал, как решать задачу по математике. Потом я вернулся домой и маме готовить ужин. А вечером мы все вместе смотрели интересный фильм. How I spent the weekendLast weekend I succeeded in glory! And it's very good that it rained the day before. On Saturday morning, Uncle Peter came to visit us, my father's brother. The last two years he lived in India, so he said he really wants to go to the forest for mushrooms. He really missed Russia and our forests. We met Uncle Petya and at first we walked a bit around the city. And then we got into the car and went to the forest for mushrooms. In the forest it was beautiful, there were a lot of mushrooms, I saw a brood they were eating and scared some animal, probably a hare. Then we settled down on the bank of a small river, kindled a fire in the grill and fried meat, vegetables and mushrooms. It was delicious. Uncle Petya told many interesting and funny stories. He visited many countries and saw much. Then we packed up and drove home.On Sunday we had a guest at the station and I ran to a friend with whom we agreed to go to the movies. After the movie, a friend asked me to help him with the Russian, and he told me how to solve the problem in mathematics. Then I went back home and helped my mother cook dinner. And in the evening we all watched the movie together
