How You Spent Your Summer

Hi everybody,This will be a writing exercise. I will write to you about how I spent my summer and then I would like you to tell me what you did this summer? Of course, my summer was spent in the northern hemisphere; if you are in South America, Australia or lots of other places, it would not be summer. But, for now, let's write about vacation (or a break from work or school).For the last couple of months, I have been staying at a small lake in mid-Michigan, USA. Michigan is surrounded by several Great Lakes, but we did not stay on one of them. Anyway, it has been a rainy and cool summer and we haven't been able to enjoy boating or swimming very much. However, we have enjoyed feeding the birds; there are many different ones that you don't see at all in cities. Also, we have seen many deer; just this morning I saw a doe with two of her babies, two beautiful little fawns. And on our walk around the lake today, we saw bear tracks! I am just very glad that I did not see a bear!And one of my very favorite things is lilstening to the loons. They have a very distinctive call that is eerie and would scare you if you didn't k now what it was. However, they are pretty birds that really like to catch fish from the lake.So, how did you spend your summer? Did you travel? Did you visit different countries or cities? If you write to me in the best English that you can, I will correct it and re-send it to you.Good Luck!

  • hello everybody.
    I came just back from holiday summer and I finished them four days ago.
    We have been in Holland and Denmark, my family and I. We spent about fiftheen days there.
    It was been the first time for us in Holland, we visited Rotterdam and Amsterdam too.
    I have loved a lot amsterdam with its Dam square, its wonderfull canals , it looks to be in Venise, in fact it is called Venice North.
    I apprecietied the good food, the free life, even if I think something could be change, for example , I did not like the street of prostitution in which you can see bare girls behind the windows shops. I never have seen many boys in all my life going there . To see these poors girls bare embarassed me too much. The weather was good, it was sunny , no cloudy, we were fine. Rotterdam is an ineteresting city too. We have took a special tourist tram and we made a tour in it. The life is cheaper than Amsterdam. We stayed in Holland one week; then we went in Copenhagen! What can I say? Wonderfull! Marvellous! The weather is sunny, and there was the wind but it was fine. Beautifull castels, parks, like: Rosenborg castel, Cristiannsborg castel, Ameliansborg, they are Royal familyresidence. We apprecieted the Guard royal Change, beautiful event. What else? Oh yes! We have seen the little marmeid the danish symbol. It has been for me a beautiful experience, above all I live in italy and I did not know Nothern capitals. Good experience! I suggest it to all!
    Thanks a lot for giving me this opportunity to exchange my experience with all of you

  • Hello everybody. I didn't have summer holiday because i have been working. However, i have a small trip to Vung Tau beach, it is located the south-east of Vietnam. There are a lot of beaches with white sand , blue water and light wind. It is romantic for couples. Also,If you like going to a pagoda, that is convenient because there are a lots pagodas at here. If you have opportunity to travel Vung Tau, you will not miss a chance go to "Thich Ca Phat Dai " pagoda, you will surprise for seeing a huge Thich Ca Buddha statue (Great Buddha ) with sitting position and huge one with lie position. what about souvenir? You can buy some gifts for your family, friend, love at souvenir shops- with bracelets, necklaces, rings in shells are so pretty. Beside pagodas , there are many churchs, you can see a huge christ statue with hand extend on the top of the mountain when you stand on the beach. After swimming , you can buy some special food at Ba Ria market to give relationship. There are many special things for your discovery. Do you want to go there? I'm very happy to guide you. Best wish for you.

  • Well, I wanted to go to some beautiful places this summer but I couldn't. I had to resign from office at early of February to handle some personal troubles, but everything may has an unhappy ending. I failed. I had to fly on the seat of my pants, I had cabin fever and I thought that it's time to bail out that circumstance. I have began learning Italian and Portuguese myself and I also became a friend with many people all over the world. I have over 1,400 friends in livemocha and some friends come from others. I am learning to get driver license now. Then I will come back to work and I think that I can get a job easier because I have many experiences in management even C.E.O. I would like to go to Brazil and Peru next summer.
