my favorite book is «the old man and the sea» by ernest hemingway. this story is one of the well-known works of the writer. the author depicts the characters of the old man and the boy and their relations very vividly and skillfully. santiago, the old man, was one of the writer's beloved characters. the old man was a born fisherman, but he was not a butcher and fished only for a living. he was very lonely. he had a devoted friend - the boy, manolin. the boy loved the old man for his kind heart, his devotion to the sea. manolin was like a son to santiago. he took care of the old man's food and his belongings. the old man was glad to pass his experience to the boy. he looked forward to going to the sea together with the boy. all santiago's life had been in preparation for the battle with big fish. he knew that he had been born for this and it was time to prove it. a strong man at last had met a strong fish. the battle was a difficult one and full of danger. though the sharks had eaten the fish and nothing had left but the backbone, the old man had morally won the battle. santiago's words «man can be destroyed but not defeated» are the main idea of this story. «the old man and the sea» is a masterpiece for its imaginative language and the description of nature.

At last the winter holidays came! i was very happy! i didn't have to get up early in the morning and run to school. i could stay in the bed till midday. but i didn't want to sleep. there were a lot of things to do. the weather was fine so my friends and i went to the skating- rink almost every day. it was fun! then i spent a week in the country where my grandfather and grandmother lived. it was great. i drank milk and eat a lot of tasty food which my granny prepared for me. i have many friends in this village because i go there every holidays. we went to the forest to ski, we made snowmen and played snowballs. we even played hockey! but the winter holidays were over and i returned to the city again. i liked my holidays very much. наконец наступили зимние каникулы! я был счастлив! я не должен был вставать рано утром и бежать в школу. я мог оставаться в постели до полудня. но я не хотел спать. было так много дел. погода была хорошая, так что мои друзья и я ходили на каток почти каждый день. это было весело! затем я провел неделю в деревне, где живут мои дедушка и бабушка . это было здорово. я пил молоко и ел много вкусной пищи, которую моя бабушка готовила для меня. у меня много друзей в этой деревне, потому что я езжу туда каждые каникулы. мы ходили в лес кататься на лыжах, мы делали снеговиков и играли в снежки. мы даже играли в хоккей! но зимние каникулы закончились, и я вернулся в город снова. мне понравились мои каникулы.
