My name is Irina and I’m fifteen years old. This summer I’m planning to spend actively. I will try to combine my studies with the seaside holiday. I’m used to spending summers at the seaside, as my aunt lives in Sochi. She is a hospitable woman and she is always happy to have guests. She lives far from the beach, but it’s not a big problem. We have to take a minibus to get to the central part and such trip lasts about half an hour. On a way to the sea there are hundreds of interesting sights. I have visited this city since childhood, but each time I find something new and exciting there. Nearly every summer we swim in the Black Sea and I don’t want to change anything. However, this summer is going to be intense. I’m planning to prepare for my future exams, which will take lots of time and effort. Next year is my last year of high school and then I will continue studying at the university. This summer I’m already going to take a preparatory course in several subjects. One of the main goals is to learn computer programming. It’s not easy at all, that’s why the sooner I start the better. The course lasts till the middle of July and then I’m free to go to the seaside. Hopefully, I can fully relax and enjoy the holiday there. Firstly, I’m fond of swimming and sunbathing. Secondly, I have some close friends in Sochi, who will keep me a company. We like playing beach volleyball and trying various water sports. Last year, we tried to learn surfing, but it was rather hard. Perhaps, this year we’ll try it again. When I have some free time, I’m going to read my training aids. All in all, I think my summer is going to be fantastic. After a good rest I can proceed again to my habitual studies.
