yet before last summer i didn't have an idea where i can spend coolly my spring vacation.

but the last summer holiday that i just spent was extremely interesting and fascinating. it's held on the first of september. i and my eight friends, all pupils of high school # 35, traveled to almaty. we visited many well-known places such as: tamgaly tas, issyk kurgan, medeo, alatau mountain, turgen waterfall. these places gave me so many memories.

 

at first, we were off at 6 a.m. and visited tamgaly tas. this place is a historic place of first people, ancestors of kazakh nation. we heard many emotional stories about them and about the this place such as: the history of ancient kazakh people, how they developed workmanship and art. i was very surprised when i saw stony pictures of people of bronze and iron periods. there were so many beutiful and unusual pictures describing and depicting animals. after that we visited other places that i mentioned before. and i liked them too. and finally i was impressed by the magic sound of sand on issyk kurgan.

i liked my summer holiday so much. that's why i decided to come to almaty again for this spring vacation.

Ithink it is impossible to live in our modern word without travelling because there are many interesting places to visit and see. railway and bus stations, airports and seaport are busier in summer than in other seasons of a year because of school holidays. travelling is the best way of spending holidays because you can visit different interesting places in your country and abroad. i prefer to travel by train because i like to look out of the  window and watch the nature and a lot of small towns and villages. of course, i usually travel with my parents because i am a teenager and my parents don’t allow me to travel by myself. i have already been in moscow, berlin, volgograd,  saratov. i have never been to london. it’s my dream. seaside is better to travel in summer because you can swim and dive, sunbathe and relax. my parents and i always take a camera with us when we are going to travel because we like to take photos very much. to my mind it is better to travel for pleasure because you may relax and don’t think about business.  

Soon the summer holidays will come! i won't have  to get up early in the morning and run to school. i will be able to stay in the bed till midday. if the weather will be fine my friends and i will go for a walk every day. it will be fun! then i will spend a month in the country where my grandfather and grandmother live. it will be great. i will drink milk and eat a lot of tasty food which my granny will prepare for me. i have many friends in this village because i go there every holidays. we will play football and tennis every day! there is a small river near the forest and we will swim when the weather will be fine.

the glory of the past- an echo of the future.
