Відпустка моїх батьків. My Parents’Vacation
Після року важкої роботи кожному хочеться добре відпочити. Більшість людей хоче відпочивати влітку чи ранньою осінню, але деякі люди проводять відпустку узимку чи навесні. Деякі вважають за краще активний відпочинок, що включає в себе походи, подорожі на потязі, автомобілі чи пароплаві. Вони раді і щасливі, навіть якщо їхній пароплав приходить в інше місто холодної дощової ночі і вони повинні чекати на березі до ранку, доки почнеться екскурсія.
Деякі люди знаходять це досить романтичним. Інші відправляються на узбережжя загоряти і плавати
After a year of hard work everybody wants to have a good rest. Most people want to rest in summer or in early autumn, but some people have their holidays in winter or in spring.
Some people prefer an active rest which includes walking tours, travelling by train, by car or by steamer. They are glad and happy even if their steamer comes to the next city on a cold rainy night and when they have to wait on the shore till the morning when their excursion starts. Some people find it quite romantic. Others go to the seaside to sunbathe and swim for hours. They just lie in the sun and relax, or play ball games on the yellow sand. Some people think that though the air is polluted in their town it is quite good near their house and choose to have a rest at home.
And there are people who usually spend their vacation in the country, working in their gardens and kitchen gardens. As for my parents, they like an active rest. We like staying outdoors, especially in spring and summer. In winter we ski a lot. We get up early in the morning, put on suits for skiing and go to the country where we organize competitions. Usually this is my father who is the winner. In summer we go to the seaside and enjoy our holidays. In autumn we often go to the forest to gather mushrooms or berries or just walk there.
