Essay “How I spent my summer holidays”

Plan
1. Goodbye school!
2. Hello summer:
a) holidays are rest;
b) love of travel;
c) alone with nature.
3. “I really want summer not to end.”

Each of us is waiting for summer. For many, summer is their favorite time of year, primarily because summer is the biggest vacation. Who doesn’t dream of sunbathing, swimming to their heart’s content, or maybe just taking a break from the hustle and bustle of school. As soon as the spring sun warms up, we are already making plans for the future on how we will spend the summer holidays. We all can't wait to finish school quickly and hear the last school bell. On the one hand, it’s sad to part with school friends for several months. But on the other hand, warmth, sun, good mood, the thought that we have a lot of free time and can walk as much as we want makes us so happy that we think only about one thing: that the holidays come quickly.

Guys spend their holidays differently. Some vacation with their parents at the seaside, others - with relatives in the village or at the dacha. Some stay at home. But no matter where we are, summer holidays are still a wonderful, unforgettable time. This is a vacation. The main thing is to spend this time usefully, so that you have something to remember for the next year. Some people think that in the summer it is necessary to go somewhere far away from hometown. Of course, we associate summer with the warm sea and exotic nature. Who doesn’t want to soak up the sand, swim, and play in the waves! Some people like to relax away from the bustle of the city and go out of town, where they can swim in a clean river or lake, lie in the shade under a tree, and enjoy the singing of birds. On summer holidays Oh, you can have a good rest at home. A river, a dacha, helping parents, walks in the park, picnics with friends... Is it possible to refuse this?

Among my friends there are many who love to travel. Visiting different cities and countries, people learn a lot of new and interesting things. I like to travel too. And if parents have the opportunity, we go to those cities that we have not yet been to. Our dream is to visit Prague and Paris. I know that this dream will come true, and we will wander the streets of Prague and admire beautiful Paris. But we are sure that in our country there are also many places that cannot leave anyone indifferent. “The corner of Russia is dear to me - my kind father’s home,” wrote E. Sheveleva.

Probably, each of us has a favorite corner, favorite place, which we love to visit. My family and I often go out of town in the summer and relax in nature. Nature for us is not only a place of relaxation, but also a source of inspiration and strength. Imagine a hot July day. Who wants to sit in an apartment in this weather? So the whole family is heading out of town for a few days. We relax, swim, listen to birdsong, the murmur of a stream, and admire the flowers. It is generally difficult to imagine summer without flowers. And flowers are always a holiday for a person. With them joy and good mood come to us.

“I really want summer not to end...” Have you noticed that this song is played very often in the summer? Probably, many people want such beautiful weather to last longer, so that the summer mood does not leave us all year round. But the Indian summer will still delight us with the last warm days, and the holidays, unfortunately, will go away along with the summer. Let's not be upset, because we will meet with friends with whom we will share our impressions, plans for the future and together we will look forward to the new summer.

Essay “How I spent my summer holidays”

For me, summer is a holiday that lasts three months. At this time of year there is always a good mood and many interesting activities. For example, you can ride a bike, play volleyball and go to all sorts of open-air festivals. However, what I enjoy most is hanging out with friends, chatting and admiring the summer colors.

When the long-awaited warmth arrives, I can finally put on my favorite bright dresses and light shoes. It becomes pleasant to walk, and nature amazes with its diversity, so there is something to see. In the summer, even people are kinder, because they no longer need to shield themselves from the wind and hide from the cold. Therefore, I spared no time to enjoy the sun and its caressing rays. For example, I went swimming and sunbathing several times. I also often rode my bike early in the morning to catch the sunrise in the park.

During the day, we walked with our friends: discussed the news, listened to music and watched videos. Sometimes we would go to someone's house and experiment with cooking in the kitchen. We also took a lot of photographs during our walks, because my friend had recently been given a professional camera as a gift. Now we have photos as good as the models'.

We also went to the cinema and to a cafe, where we had a great time. When I came home, the first thing I did was write about my impressions in social network. It was this summer that I discovered that I’m pretty good at it, so I’m even going to start my own blog someday.

Of course, it's a pity when summer passes. However, I only have bright and good memories of the holidays, because I spent them with pleasure and benefit. I hope the school year will be as enjoyable and productive.

Essay “How I spent my summer” 7th grade

This summer has been interesting. The first month of vacation was very similar to previous summer vacations, since I stayed in the city. However, the next two summer months turned out to be incredibly interesting for me - I spent them in the village with my aunt. It is with these days spent outside the city that the most striking events and indelible impressions of my summer are associated with me.

Time in the village passes slowly, not at all like in big cities. It feels like a whole month has passed, when in fact it’s only a week. My morning usually starts with helping my aunt in the garden. Our village is located far from the village, and tap water is an unheard of luxury. So I go to the well with two old iron buckets. The water there is stunningly clean and very cold. I also help my aunt around the house, but whenever possible I run to play with my friends.

I have good friends in the village. We spend all our free time together. During the hottest time, we sit for hours on the bank of the river. After a swim, we frolic with all our might and look at the passing barges. One day my aunt gave me a hard time because I didn’t come to dinner. But in fact, I didn’t feel like eating at all, because together with my friend Pashka we were baking potatoes in the fire. It's such a pleasure to transfer hot potatoes from hand to hand, and then break them and eat them piece by piece. Do you agree that this is not a bowl of cooked soup? And most importantly - how much romance and happiness there are in these summer days, spent as if in another world!

I spent summer evenings in a real wooden hut. As a rule, after dinner my aunt was visited by her friends. Sitting at a large round table, they drank tea. And I was hiding on a large stone stove, or looking at books, or “getting my head around,” as my grandmother liked to say. But to tell the truth, I kept a diary, and, like Robinson Crusoe on a desert island, I counted down the days remaining until I returned to the city.

Sometimes it occurs to me that a village is an island remote from the city, and life on it follows a different rhythm. Either because of the proximity to nature, or perhaps simply because big cities in the endless pursuit of technological progress, we were torn away from a calm, measured life. But be that as it may, I am a city person. Which means my place is there. And yet, every time I leave this quiet island of tranquility, I will miss my village.

Essay “Summer”

Who doesn't love summer? I don't think there are any like that. Summer is a time of joy, warmth and fun. Summer is the longest vacation: you can walk with friends, go to the river or go to the sea. At this time of year, life seems wonderful and carefree.

Description of “Summer” in artistic style

Summer is a wonderful time of year. Long sunny days are followed by short warm nights. Most often the weather is clear and the endless blue sky stretches overhead. The trees are lushly dressed in bright green clothes. Under them, grass grows thickly everywhere, dotted with colorful lights of summer flowers - poppies, bells, clover, tansy, chamomile, marigolds... And above them butterflies flutter and all sorts of goosebumps buzz.

Another Russian film that left nothing but a feeling of wasted time. A young guy comes to an island in the northern and Arctic ocean for the summer holidays to do an internship at a local polar station. There is only one guy living in this polar station. Experienced polar explorer. Soon this guy receives a message via radio that an accident has occurred with the wife and child of this guy, a polar explorer, in Moscow. And in fact, throughout the entire film, this young goon just can’t decide to tell everything to the polar explorer. In the end, when he tells everything due to the will of circumstances, the polar explorer takes up his gun and begins to run after the poor guy all over the island.

The film was shot by Alexey Popogrebsky. Director, from the cohort of our young authors who are trying to make films about real life in our country. “How I Spent This Summer” is only his second film so far. I personally really liked the first film “Simple Things”. It was a light and unpretentious story about the relationship between a doctor and his elderly patient. Alas, already in his second film this very lightness completely evaporated. “How I Spent This Summer” is a much more author’s film with claims to the laurels of Tarkovsky and Antonioni. Most of the time we are shown different beauties north island. The director naturally pays especially much attention to the ocean, which personally just begins to infuriate me. I don't watch our modern films very often. But it so happened that in Zvyagintsev’s “Return” and in Lungin’s “Island” they are trying to charm me with beautiful views of the water surface. And in general, one gets the feeling that all these films are shot by the same cameraman.

Unfortunately for this picture, everything in our world is known in comparison. Over the short century of cinema, we have already managed to film a lot of great films, and if I had not watched the films of Tarkovsky, Sokurov, Herman, then probably “How I Spent This Summer” would have seemed very exciting and deep to me. But today it was simply boring for me to watch this film. What the director wants to say becomes clear almost immediately. As they say, there’s only three kopecks worth of sense here. A young dunce, out of cowardice, commits terrible acts that lead to a tragic ending. But from this story, Popogrebsky is trying to torture almost the second Stalker. But the trouble is that Popogrebsky is never Tarkovsky. Therefore, for the entire two hours we watch, one continuous thing, meaning nothing, not skillfully presented and, most importantly, completely unnecessary here, looking for deep ones, depths where there are none. If the Popogrebsky film had been shortened by one and a half times, due to meaningless scenes, it would have been much more watchable. The only thing that might be of interest here is that the action takes place on an island in the northern and Arctic ocean. And in general, the way of life that the characters lead in this place, in my opinion, is the most interesting and educational thing in this film.

Also, a couple of the main actors do not save the situation, but quite the opposite. After the not bad performance of Sergei Puskepalis in “Simple Things,” Popogrebsky decided to make him no more, no less, a folk actor, like Leonov, Papanov, Burkov. This is exactly the type he is trying to embody here. On the surface he is a simple, good-natured Russian peasant, but inside he is a wise man. But compared to the above-mentioned masters, Puskepalis clearly lacks either acting talent or, most importantly, charisma. Well, the young actor Grigory Dobrygin is not at all memorable here. His hero is very pale, despite the fact that in the plot he has the main, and, moreover, very characteristic role, full of reflection and internal tension, which this same Dobrygin clearly does not pull off.

In general, in all respects it’s a weak movie, but in the context of modern Russian cinema, I just can’t raise my hand to give it a very bad rating.

Fast passage:

Option 1

After passing the exams, the long-awaited summer has finally arrived, and most importantly, the summer holidays. In June, my parents and I went on an unusual hike, which we have been doing for several years in a row. We drive by car to Lake Vuoksa, which is located in the Leningrad region, and then dad takes us in an inflatable kayak to one of the many uninhabited islands. Since the kayak is a two-seater, Dad has to make the trip from the car to the island twice. On the island we set up a tent and start doing various things - fishing, swimming, sunbathing and even picking mushrooms. There weren’t many mushrooms, but we caught a lot of fish, and every day my mother cooked amazing fish soup. This year we spent 5 unforgettable days on the island, unfortunately, during two of them it was pouring rain.

In July I went to a military sports camp. All day long we played sports, ran, played football or basketball, practiced martial arts, etc. In addition, we went to the shooting range to shoot machine guns and studied various weapons. Also, we were taught the history of the Russian army. It was very interesting! In the evenings we watched films, sometimes we went to local club, where discos were held especially for us.

In August, I was at home, doing normal things, for example, playing various computer games, which I absolutely love to play. I went to the cinema with friends twice, but both films turned out to be uninteresting. I read several books for the school curriculum, most of all I liked Alexander Kuprin’s story “The Duel”. I began to slowly collect my school bag; they bought me all the stationery, as well as textbooks for school.

Option 2

After the end of the school year, I was at home for several weeks. I walked with friends, played on the computer and read books. My favorite was Amphibian Man. In it, the author talks about a young man Ichthyander, who could breathe underwater. Then I went to my grandmother in the village. There I helped her with housework. Grandma has a lot of apple and cherry trees in her garden. When I arrived in the village, the cherries were just ripe. Every day we woke up early in the morning and went to feed the chickens and ducks. Grandma has a lot of birds in her yard: twelve chickens and fifteen ducklings. We fed them millet and beet leaves. The ducks were very fond of beets and grape leaves. The ducks also loved to swim in the river. After eating in the morning, they walked from the yard to the river and turned back only in the evening. Ducks seemed smarter to me than chickens. Although the chickens were less afraid of me and allowed me to pet them. My grandmother also had a dog, Pirate. He is very smart and knows how to bring a stick on command. Pirate and I often played tag or just walked around the yard. On the street I played football with the neighboring children and rode a bicycle. At the beginning of July I went home.

Nothing has changed at home, only it has become much hotter. Now you could safely sunbathe in the sun. I went to the pool every day to swim with my friends and learned to dive well. In the summer I ate a lot of watermelon. Watermelons were always juicy and ripe. Dad and I quickly ate them. During this time I went to the movies to see Monsters University. I really liked the cartoon because it was funny and cheerful. In it, a young monster Mike, very similar to Smesharik, goes to university to study.

At the end of July we went to the sea in Sochi. It was very cool there! We went swimming in the sea every day. It was very warm and calm. My dad and I were looking for shells at the bottom, and I saw a live crab walking along the bottom. I really enjoyed diving underwater in the warm sea. In the evening, when it became cool, we walked along the embankment. It was very beautiful there - the lanterns and the moon were shining. There were cafes and souvenir stalls everywhere. We bought a shell ship there, which I will put on my table. Two weeks later we returned home.
