I always look forward to my summer holidays. In my opinion, there's nothing like the Russian countryside. We've got a small country house in a very picturesque place not far from Zagorsk. There's a river and a lake there. My friends and I often go swimming and boating there. I'm also fond of lying in the sun.There's a lot of fish in the lake, so I sometimes go fishing. I like to sit in silence for a while waiting for a fish to get caught and listening to the birds singing in the trees. When I happen to catch a fish I set it free at once, because I do fishing just for pleasure.When it's very hot I usually go to the forest. The air is cool there. I like to walk in the shade of the trees and pick mushrooms and berries. I've got a dog called Jack. He becomes so happy when I take him with me to the forest.Jack likes to run after butterflies or dragonflies. I sometimes play with him. I throw a stick and he brings it back to me.But last summer my parents decided to go to some other place for a change. They made up their minds to go to the Crimea. I think it was the greatest mistake they had ever made. This, in a nutshell, is what happened.To begin with, it was very difficult to find a place to stay. We rented a room in a house a long way from the sea. It was the only place we managed to get. It took us about half an hour to get to the beach. But it didn't matter, as it turned out a few days later. Suddenly our happy sunny days were over. It started to rain. It occasionally cleared up for a while but then the rain went on again. All we could do was to spend all our time in the cinema or in a cafe. It was impossible to leave because we had made reservations beforehand and we had to spend another week there. I had never seen so many films in my life. By the end of the week I got very tired of the cinema and I could only lie on the bed reading books or staring at the ceiling.

I.I went skiing .AT. Christmas. We flew from Heathrow ..AT. 4 o'clock .IN.. the afternoon .ON.. 20th December, and got to Zalzburg .IN.. the early evening. The roads were icy, and we didn't get to the hotel ..AT. 2 o'clock ..IN. the morning. Unfortunately, I fell and hurt my leg .ON.. the first day, and had to spend a few days in bed. But I got up ..ON. Christmas Day and . the next morning I went skiing again, but I wasn't very good at it.

2. I was born in Manchester .IN.. the late 1940s. I went to university ..IN. 1967.1 had a good time there, especially ... my last year. So a few months ago I decided to go back and see it again. I went..AT. the end of June. The students were all on holiday, and the town was full of tourists, as it always is .IN.. summer, and I didn't enjoy my visit very much. It wasn't the same as it had been .IN.. the 60s, when I was a student there.
