Russian pupils have for holidays a year. The academic year is split into four terms. Autum vacation and spring vacation are very short. They last only a week each. But it is quite enough for my classmates and me to go to holiday-house or another city for a change. 
  Summer holidays are wonderul. there are many long sunny days. There is no school. There are new friends and many interesting things to see and to do. 
  Some children spent their holidays at the seaside, some in the mountains andsome in the country. 
  As for me,I spent this summer at the sea in Anapa and in the country. 
  The beach is a traditional summer destination for thousands of people.The wealth of thing to do includes sunbathing. 

This is my last year at school and I'm working hard to pass my final exams. As I am very busy I can't help my parents much at home.

But still I have some household duties. Every day I make my bed and wash up dishes after lunch and supper. It is also my duty to buy bread and milk. I usually go to the baker's after I have lunch. I buy some brown and white bread, biscuits and cakes there. The shop is not far from our house and it doesn't take me long to do the daily shopping.
