It was the last week of summer holidays. Mike had returned from the country two days before. He had visited his grandparents. Mike’s life in the country had been really exciting that summer. He had learned to do a lot of useful things. His uncle had taught Mike to drive a car. Mike’s grandfather had taken Mike hunting. Mike was very happy because he had never held the hunting rifle before. Mike even had taken part in the horse-racing competition and had won the third place. Mike’s friend Pete had made a photo of Mike holding the prize on the horse back. It was a pleasure to remember all the events that had happened in the village. Now Mike wanted to tell his classmates about the summer holidays.
