How to spend your summer holidays
When the summer, and the longest, holidays begin, schoolchildren and their relatives are faced with the question of how to spend them. It must be said that these days the choice of many is as simple as possible: they spend June, July and August at the computer. It is unlikely that this is as harmful for children as many people see, because modern life if not in everything, then in many respects it is built around computers. And therefore the child school age, who is perfectly oriented in virtual space, has at least one environment in which he is perfectly socialized. Therefore, summer in front of the computer is not the only option, but it is quite acceptable.
Another common option is for children. summer camp. These days, you can choose from options located both in Russia and abroad. The summer period in these institutions is divided into shifts, so that a child or teenager can spend 20 days, a month or 40 days in the camp, and spend the remaining time in the city.
Children's summer camp is an ideal environment for meeting new people. The child will not lack in it real communication. Here he will be able to find friends, the connection with whom will not be severed even after the end of his shift. Adventures during the summer holidays spent at a youth camp can remain in your memory for a lifetime.
Another option that is relevant for children of high school age is temporary employment, because in the summer in the city teenagers have something to do. The most socially mature schoolchildren can even get a job in the direction they are going to study and in adult life. At the same time, most teenagers take part-time jobs in order to acquire some funds. Most often, this kind of income is small, although the most clever ones can find places where, if they work successfully, the salary will be quite significant.
The next opportunity is to take up reading. The school usually prepares a voluminous summer reading list for students. As a result, in September you can return to school with a noticeably increased knowledge of the classics
Work during summer holidays
Employment in summer months- a very attractive way to spend time. It is available to those who have reached 14 years of age; before this age it is prohibited to work. At the same time, teenagers who are under 16 years of age can get a job only with the permission of their parents or other relatives responsible for them.
Employment services centrally offer boys and girls to enroll in youth labor teams. Their participants are usually engaged in agricultural work or landscaping. In this case, the earnings will not be very high, but the teenager will have the opportunity to find friends among his colleagues in the brigade.
Another common way of finding employment for a teenager is working in catering establishments, including fast food establishments. A boy or girl can play the role of an auxiliary worker in a cafe, for example, a dishwasher, in which case his income will be small. At the same time, having gotten a job as a waiter, he will have access to working with people and, accordingly, to tips.
A great way to earn real money without any effort is to distribute leaflets. True, this work is unlikely to teach a teenager anything, except that it will soon wean him from shyness.
The most profitable option may be to work in sales, but this type of work requires an appropriate personality. If required psychological qualities You can earn very significant money in this direction.
Summer holidays abroad
Holidays abroad will be an excellent option for teenagers whose parents can afford it. There are a lot of offers designed for those who want to send a boy or girl to another country.
The most obvious result in this case will be improved ownership a certain language or even learning a new language almost from scratch. After all, if the majority in the camp are not Russian-speaking, the teenager will inevitably have to speak the appropriate language. Such immersion in a foreign environment can give a quick effect.
In addition, foreign holidays are a great opportunity to broaden your horizons. If we are talking about the entire summer period, then during this time you can get to know another life in some detail, gaining invaluable experience and capturing these events in colorful photos.
An interesting option is to work abroad under the au pair program. In this case, the teenager lives in a house belonging to a foreign family, does a simple homework and learns the language.
Summer holiday activities
Some schools organize events during the summer holidays. Their scenarios should be planned taking into account the fact that many schoolchildren are leaving the city at this time. The most popular events will be those held at the end of the school year or in August before the start of the next one.
Events of this kind include those held at the school itself, including various performances, as well as joint visits to cultural institutions and trips outside the city.
Summer holidays in the village
In the countryside is a classic pastime at this time of year. Now the village is forced to compete with numerous other options. Of course, a friendly village environment with friendly elderly relatives can be an excellent option, including for children who find themselves in a company in the city that is not very pleasing to their parents.
Summer holidays at sea
A holiday at sea is another traditional option. It includes visiting the beaches, sunbathing, and eating local fruits.

Essay on the topic: Summer holidays.
I spent this summer very fun and varied.
And also, as my mother says, with great benefit.
Of course, I devoted a lot of time to my little brother.
He is still a baby with us - he recently turned nine months old. At first I thought that with such a small man I would not be interested. Don't think that I don't love my brother! No, I just adore him! But before, I stayed with him for a short time - an hour or an hour and a half. And this summer, my mother was busy, and I needed to spend half a day with my brother.
At first I thought it was very difficult task.
I was worried whether I would do everything, whether something would happen. But soon, when I got used to it a little, everything went like clockwork. I got to know my brother even better because I had the opportunity to observe him longer. I found out that this baby already has his own character. He is a big cunning man, he always gets his way, and by any means necessary. He can show with his little eyes what he needs, he can demand, or he can simply scream without stopping if he doesn’t get something.
My little brother also loves it when people read books to him.
I read aloud to him Pushkin’s fairy tales and D. Defoe’s “The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe.”
But my brother’s favorite book, without a doubt, is M. Twain’s novel “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.” Listening to the tricks of the main character, the brother became quiet, it seemed that he forgot about everything in the world. It seemed to me that he remembered all of Tom's pranks in order to repeat them when he grew up. Or come up with your own, just as interesting and fun.
In general, the time I spent with my brother was good for me. My parents talk about this too. I have become more mature and serious. I also became closer to my brother. Now I love him even more.
Also this summer I visited my grandmother Lena. She lives in a village located on the banks of the Volga River. Of course, I already saw this river when I was little. But now it was as if I saw her for the first time. The Volga seemed very wide and beautiful to me. Grandmother says that this river is majestic, that it is long and nice story.
Indeed, the Volga has always been the “navigable artery” of Russia. Many ships traveled along it, transporting a wide variety of goods. There were many merchant cities on the banks of this river; barge haulers pulled barges along the Volga; songs were written about this river, and paintings were painted from it.
Of course, I couldn’t help but swim in the Volga. The water in it seemed surprisingly clean and transparent to me. The beautiful greenish bottom was illuminated by the sun, and the unique smell of a warm river came from the water. And the sun's glare played across the entire surface of the Volga. And even when you close your eyes, these highlights remained in your memory. And even now, if we remember the Volga, then these sunbeams- one of the most vivid impressions.
Of course, a lot pleasant memories I also have leftovers from life in the village. There I helped my grandmother with housework, milked a cow for the first time, looked after a newborn calf, and helped herd cows. In addition, my grandmother and I baked fluffy village pancakes and made real Russian porridge in the oven.
I also, of course, talked to the neighborhood kids. We spent a lot of time outside, playing different games and just talked. They also sometimes raided neighboring yards and tore apples and pears there. Only first they asked permission from the owners. And they always allowed it - everyone in the village said that this year the harvest was extremely rich.
Time in the village flew by and I had to return home. To remember my summer adventures, I have memories, photographs and the experience and knowledge that I gained. Putting it all together, I think I had a wonderful summer.
