I have a holiday now. 

Every day I get up and go to bed late.If the weather is nice I walk with my friends. We walk in the park. We go to cafes or to the cinema. We also like skate on the skating rink  and ski in the forest. In the evening I like to be at home. I read books or read and watch video in the Internet. I like to communicate with people from other countries in the Internet. I also visit my relatives. We have dinner together and tell each other different news. I spend my holiday very well. I have a rest and I can relax. 

When we are at school, we have a lot of friends. We meet every day. We call each other every day. And we think that we will be always together. But time passes. We are students. We meet only at weekends and on holidays. We call each other very seldom. Then we start working, marry,acquire a home and family.  And we have no time to meet and call friends. We meet once a year on the classmates meeting. We don't know how our friends live because we are busy and have no time. I think it is bad. We must keep in touch with our friends all our life. Because without our friends we are nothing. Our life becomes defective.
