Because as some people say:" You work today and you haven't to work tomorrow", in the summer time you must work for don't work so much during this year.

This summer has been very good although we haven’t done the same things than last summer. However, the Covid-19 summer (2020) was for me more entertaining than this even with restrictions.
ResponderEliminarThis summer, I went to Almuñécar with my friends and I also started to play and train with my football team. I have met with my friends but I also have studied English and been to the gym.
I would have liked to travel out of Spain, because of Covid-19 I couldn’t go. I hope that the next year we can travel to other places. I would have been to a match of EURO 2020 to see Spanish players. Other plan was going to JJOO in Tokyo. This would have been the perfect plan.

The anticipation is the basis for win the battle. So begin work mean walk the way before and better than other because working in summer time give a lot of tranquillity for begin the new school year also it is practice then a long time of vacations.
ResponderEliminarSo should everyone begin the new school year for go more fast and better ready to reach the finish with a great victory.

If you have not reviewed or done anything all summer you can still make one last effort and arrive well prepared at the beginning of the course.You can prepare things and review the syllabus that you have given to start the course with clear contents and be able to advance and understand things easier than if you have not done anything all summer. Reviewing the contents is very good before entering because that way you already know the subject you are going to teach and are familiar with what is going to be taught in class.

Summer is already ending, September has just started and the new course is about to begin.
ResponderEliminarThis summer has been very good although there have been some restrictions, but it has been better than last summer. This summer in the towns there have been festivities since a large part of the population is vaccinated and we have been able to do more activities.
This summer I had a great time. At the beginning of summer, when I finished the course, I went on an excursion to a river called Los Bolos, I was with my cousins and my friends. Let's have a good day. In July the patron saint festivities of my town were celebrated. And they were also very good, although they were different parties from those that were held in previous years.Just when the parties ended, the next day I went with my family and some friends we went to Torcal de Antequera one day and the next day we went to Caminito del Rey, all the landscape and the views were very beautiful, I thought it was going to give me vertigo, but when I started doing the tour it did not give me any vertigo.In August I went to Isla Magica, I also went on an excursion to a ravine already Some pools and I have also gone to the Aguatropic with a friend.
In the last fortnight of August the cultural summer is always celebrated, and they did many activities, excursions, night gymkhanas, cinema ...
And finally at the beginning of September, to say goodbye to the summer, I spent a day in Malaga with a friend and my cousin. We went to a viewpoint, the Alcazaba, we also went for a walk to the port ... Let's have a good day.
I've also gone to my friends' pools, and I've been to the beach for a few days, because I don't like the beach very much, I like pools more.
But I have not always been away from home, also some days of the summer I have dedicated part of the day to study English, do projects, comments ... since this course is the hardest and the last, I have taken the opportunity to make some comments and projects to have more time during the course to study other subjects.
If you have been reviewing syllabi and have made comments, the beginning of the course will be easier for you and you will have clear contents and you will be able to advance and understand things more. It is very good to review the contents before entering because that way you already know the subject and it is easier to when doing the exercises.
In summary, I have had a great time this summer. It has passed very quickly. I have visited new places such as I had never been to Malaga or Isla Mágica ...
I would have liked to travel to Paris, but due to Covid-19 I have not been able to go.
I believe that next summer I will be able to travel outside of Spain because there will be more people vaccinated. And I hope that the following summer will be normal without a mask and restrictions.

ResponderEliminarThis summer has already ended, September has started and in a few days we will start the new course, this year is the last that I am in high school and it is the most difficult year or that is what almost everyone says, but every day that study a little of each subject will not be so difficult.
ResponderEliminarThis summer has been better than last year since there have not been as many restrictions as the previous summer and it has been possible to do more things such as partying but with restrictions and with care. When summer started I went on a trip to Madrid, then most days I have been with the boat or with the jet ski with my boyfriend, I have gone to the beach with my friends, I have gone for motorcycle rides, I have I have been to Valencia, Murcia, Malaga, Jaén, I have spent many days with my family, I have gone to some parties but be careful, I was with my family at the Aquatropic and many other places.
Although I have been in places I have also been studying English throughout the summer without stopping, to be able to pass English and get the B1, and as they say, every effort has its reward, I have managed to pass both, everything I have studied will help me during the next year.
Next summer will be even better because I will be 18 years old and I will have finished high school, I hope to make many trips and with my friends and with my family, and the following year I will be in Granada studying to be a police officer and I hope I can make all my dreams come true.

ResponderEliminarThere is still time to do some revision and prepare for the obstacles that come next year. You can make comments or writings to improve your vocabulary.
EliminarIf you haven't done anything this summer, I think it will be more difficult for you to familiarize yourself with the subjects you will have next year.
Last Train From Gun Hill is a good movie, I saw it with my father, who is a fan of western movies. The movie is about a sheriff who wants to bring justice to the murderer of his wife, but he discovers that his old friend was the one who murdered his wife.

ResponderEliminarSoon we will start a new course, and it is good to have reviewed some topics during the summer to be able to start the course with clear contents and understand them easily.
ResponderEliminarAnd if you have not done anything during the holidays, you can still make one last effort and review the notes of the previous course to not to be lost the first days of school.

This summer I would define it as special or unique, since it has once again been a “normal” summer compared to last year when we had many more restrictions, thanks to the fact that this summer we were already vaccinated, most of us have had this greater freedom.
ResponderEliminarThis summer I have gone out with my friends every day, we have gone to the beach, to the pool, to the parties in the nearby towns, concerts and we were also in Isla Mágica, it was an incredible day. This summer has also been something strange since with some friendships have cooled but I have also met others with whom I have lived unique moments.
It is true that I would have liked to go with my family to Portugal, to Faro, where there are very beautiful beaches and to get to know a little about that country, but my father fell on his motorcycle and sprained his knee. we decided to postpone it to another occasion.
To sum up, this summer has been full of different activities but what I have enjoyed the most has been the return to normality with parties, concerts with all friends without having to be aware of small groups due to COVID.

Next week, high school is starting, which means that the summer is over. The summer has been different from the others, but I enjoyed it more this year.
ResponderEliminarMy summer started when I went to the cottage of a friend of mine. I spent the day laughing and dancing. The 25th of June was Andrea’s birthday. On July 19th I went to Salobreña, and we decided to go to a beach restaurant, and there I had a little dispute. They didn’t give me the hamburger until one hour later. On the 23rd, I went to the Molvizar’s festivities, where I saw my friends.
On August 1st, I went to Isla Magica and Agua Magica. My day started at 4 am, and I arrived in Sevilla at 11 am. I went to an attraction called Jaguar. I was nervous, but it was incredible. I returned to Lobres the next day at 2 am. Although, all summer it wasn’t great. I had to go to emergencies due to an infection in one of my teeth surgeries. The last day was my birthday.
The summer has gone, but we can enjoy it a little more, not forgetting the difficult and desperate current situation.
This summer could have been better, I have had very bad times with my family and I did not expect that. Also because of the covid-19 I have not been able to do things that other summers have.
ResponderEliminarApart from the bad, there have also been good times with my friends. We have had many parties and most of the days we have been in the pool or on the beach. I've met amazing people who are now my friends, and I've also been estranged from lifelong friends.
I hope to have a better summer next year.

We are already in September and, bit by bit, the summer holidays are arriving at their end, we only have a few days until we return to our studies and routine, although nobody wants to return and everybody wants to be on holidays for ever. But although these are our last days before our return to the routine, we still should do something related with our subject, for example comments, and we should also revise what our teacher taught us last year, especially in languages, so we must revise English, reading, writing and listening so much.
ResponderEliminarDuring the summer we should have also done some work related to the secondary school, but we also did a lot of other entertaining things, although this summer there were still a lot of cases of covid-19, we have had more freedom than last year, so we could do a lot of more things like going to parties, travelling around Spain or visiting our relatives that live far away from us. In my case I travelled not much, I only went to Malaga to spend a few days there with my cousins. There we visited some places in Malaga, we visited Picasso Museum, it was really interesting to see all these works and we also went to "El Caminito del Rey", where we spent 4-5 hours walking and watching all the nature.
On the one hand, we want to return to the secondary school and meet all our friends and teachers daily, and spend a very good time with them, but on the other hand we prefer to go on with our holidays relaxed without doing anything in our houses, so I think that is difficult to say if we really want to return to the secondary school or if we prefer stay in holidays. Everybody is very calm and relaxed during the holidays.
Finally, I reckon that the holidays need an end, because if we were on holidays for ever, it would lose the importance and we don't think that the holidays are really enjoyable and in my opinion it would be really boring and tiring, because we wouldn't have anything to do and we would get bored.

It´s a great idea that during the summer we can keep doing our comments because that is how you continue practising your English during those months. In addition, you can work at your own speed and without stress since you have a lot of free time. Making comments during the summer is an intelligent option because this way you will have less work to do during the school year and you can spend your time on other tasks.
ResponderEliminarIt may seem silly, but it´s a tough year and having less work will help us to organize ourselves better and have time for the other subjects because we have to study a lot. The key to success is knowing how to organize yourself well and being able to have time to do everything you want to do. I hope that working during the summer was worth it.
I could say that this has been one of the best summers of my life. I have done lots of things and I have also had a great time. In addition, I have been with my friends all the time, who I hadn´t seen for a long time. I have also spent a lot of time with my family although we haven´t travelled due to the coronavirus. I hope that next summer as we are all vaccinated, we can travel.
I would like the summer to be longer because despite having done many things I feel that there are others that I haven´t done because of the lack of time. However, the summer cannot be endless because we would lose the routine and it would be more difficult to return to it later. It´s necessary to rest from school but it´s also necessary to return later with more enthusiasm!

ResponderEliminarThis summer has had some good moments, For example ,I got my motorcycle driving license and bought a motorcycle, but it has also had its bad things since I could not do some things due to COVID-19 that I would have liked to do this summer.
ResponderEliminarI have spent most of the summer with my family, where we have gone to the beach many times, but the best days of the week were every Sunday when the family met at my grandfather's farmhouse where we ate the paella that my grandfather made and we had a swim in the pool.
The other part of the summer, which are fewer days, I have spent with my friends where we have parties and one day we even went for a ride with our motorcycles.
It's been a good summer but it could have been better if there were not this pandemic.
