Places to stay
When people go on holiday they stay in various places: some go to hotels, some rent an apartment, some prefer to go camping and sleep in a tent.
The different arrangements for staying in a hotel are: room only, bed and breakfast, half-board (bed, breakfast and one other meal) or full – board (all meals). A holiday when you cok for yourself is called a self-catering holiday.
On the beach
Many people spend their holiday in seaside resorts (towns by the sea for tourists, e.g. St. Tropez, Sochi, Anapa, etc.) where they can go to the beach every day. You sometimes get a gentle breeze (a light pleasant wind) from the sea, which helps to cool you down on hot days, but it can also burn you.
Seaside activities
I like to go for a walk along the cliffs. On sandy beaches, I often play volleyball. I sometimes go windsurfing, snorkeling or diving. I don’t swim much but I like to have a paddle (just put my feet in the sea). My sister likes to have a swim in the sea, but not if it is very rough.
In the sun
Many people go to the beach to sunbathe (lie in the sun) and get a suntan, when the body goes an attractive brown colour from the sun; we can also say, be brown. This can be dangerous, and you should always put on suntan lotion (cream or oil to stop your skin burning). This will also help you to get a tan and protect your skin (keep your skin safe). If you don’t protect your skin, you may get sunburn (the skin becomes red and very painful). For total protection, use sunblock.

The future of our planet is vague. At the same there are many down-to-earth predictions, which seem to work. At the moment we live in the new era - the 21st century. Many centuries before people have lived in harmony with nature and its riches. Today, we are facing lots of global problems, which should be approached seriously. Otherwise, our planet can turn into an uninhabited space. Most of these problems are the result of technological progress and rapid scientific development. On the one hand, it’s good to have modern advances, such as newer computers, house robots, and office equipment.

 On the other hand, to launch and maintain all these machines, we need lots of natural resources. Besides, the growing number of plants is extremely harmful for the surrounding nature. As I see the future of our planet, we’ll have an over-polluted environment. That’s why we’ll have to spend most of the time locked in our flats and houses. These are my personal speculations, which might be right or wrong. I see lots of mighty skyscrapers in the future. They will be equipped with all the necessary facilities, for example, with grocery stores, kindergartens and schools, fitness centers and hairdressing saloons. They will remind a city of full value in one building. Speaking about transport, I think that with such technological progress we will soon have flying cars and taxis, which will pick up the passengers from their own flats. 

Moreover, I think that vehicles will be computerized and self-operated, which will leave the drivers unemployed. There will be lots of new professions in the future, for example, a telesurgeon, a robot counselor, a space tourist guide, a cloning regulator etc. It sounds bizarre, but this can be our nearest future, and we should think about it today.
