Summer holidays       summer holidays are the longest holidays. i like them very much! i have a lot of time for myself. i spend most time outdoors.         in june i went to the  seaside with my parents. the water in the black sea  was very warm. we swam in  the  sea  and  sunbathed on the beach.  there were different kinds of entertainments there. we also  played volleyball on the beach and  made castles of sand. on hot days we walked in the park.  it was very beautiful there.         then i spent two weeks in the summer camp. i made a lot of new friends. every day we enjoyed something special - games, competitions, performances. there was no river,  but there was a swimming pool where we could swim.  we had discos every night.  it was a real fun.     in august i  visited my grandparents.  there i enjoyed fresh air  and helped  my grandparents  to dig the garden, to gather fruit and vegetables. i went fishing with my grandfather.      i relaxed last summer and prepared for a new school year.   

christopher columbus was the person who discovered america in 1492.

he was the son of a poor italian weaver. from his early childhood columbus was interested in big ships. one day he went off to sea and then made lots of voyages. the seamen of that time didn’t sail far as they knew little of the atlantic ocean and didn’t know what was in it or beyond it. when the astronomers declared that the earth was round, columbus wanted to check it and reach india by sailing to the west.

being interested in shorter trade routes to india, the spanish government gave columbus three small ships and less than a hundred men so that he could try to carry out his voyage. in 1492 columbus left spain on this great expedition. as they sailed west they reached the canary islands and the next day they saw land, which was given the name of san salvador. however, columbus had no idea that he had discovered a new continent; he thought it was an unknown part of india. he came back to spain in triumph.

some time later a man named amerigo vespucci explored the same coast as columbus and found that it wasn’t the coast of india. he said it was a new world. for a long time the land had no special name. only in 1506, the year of christopher columbus’s death, it was named america after amerigo. however, columbus was the true discoverer of the continent.

european people came to the new world for various reasons. some hoped to find gold and silver. priests and missionaries came to bring the christian religion to the indians. among all, there was a small group of english people called pilgrims who wanted to start a new life and to have no religious problems they had in england. in 1620 on the ship «mayflower» they landed in the north-east of america, set up a colony and called that part of the country «new england».
