I suppose that, in many ways, I (1) have been (be) lucky since the day I was born. I was born two months premature and I was very ill but somehow I (2) (survived). Then, when I was three, I (3) (fell) into a pond on a farm I (4) (was staying) at. My mum (5) (had gone) into hospital for an operation and some friends (6) (were looking after) me at the time. Luckily, a man (7) (was working) near the pond and he (8) (pulled) me out! Now I'm in my last year at school and all my friends (9) (think) I'm very lucky. For example, I (10) (have won) money on the lottery four or five times and I usually (11) (beat) everybody at cards. I can't say I'm very hard-working but I (12) (do) well at exams - the right questions always come up. I'm also lucky in love and I (13) (have been going out) with an amazing girl for the last six months. I hope my luck (14) (will continue) in the future. I (15) (am taking) my university entrance exams in the summer and as soon as I (16) (finish) them, I (17) (will travel) for a couple of months. Then, hopefully, I (18) (will study) architecture at university.
Summer holidays Summer holidays are the longest holidays. I like them very much! I have a lot of time for myself. I spend most time outdoors. In June I went to the seaside with my parents. The water in the Black Sea was very warm. We swam in the sea and sunbathed on the beach. There were different kinds of entertainments there. We also played volleyball on the beach and made castles of sand. On hot days we walked in the park. It was very beautiful there. Then I spent two weeks in the summer camp. I made a lot of new friends. Every day we enjoyed something special - games, competitions, performances. There was no river, but there was a swimming pool where we could swim. We had discos every night. It was a real fun. In August I visited my grandparents. There I enjoyed fresh air and helped my grandparents to dig the garden, to gather fruit and vegetables. I went fishing with my grandfather. I relaxed last summer and prepared for a new school year.
