Summer is... By DARIA POLUKHANOVA Summer is not just one of the seasons. Summer means vacation. Sea, beach, tan, tasty and beautiful fruits, warm sun, warm nights, long days and three of the most warm months: June, July and August. In June, the nature puts forth it’s strength, blooming plants and fragrant trees, covered with thick green foliage, on fields of ripening rye. From that month is called Hleborost. In the hot and sultry days of July, often the storm replaces the sun for a short time and thereby we get refreshing rain. That month is called Straznik. In August the heat recedes and we welcome more pleasant warm days. This month is the most peaceful and gives us generous harvest. So we have named it Iniven. Why do we love summer? First, it’s a vacation. Vacation is the best period in the child’s life. We look forward to the summer during the rest of the 9 months so that we can take a break from books, homework and all the fuss. Filled with new strength to continue the work. Walk with beloved friends and just have a good time. Secondly, this delicious fruits and ice cream. Love them all. It’s such a nice warm day to eat something refreshing. A perfect time to eat fruits and vegetables which are at their most delicious in the summer. And to set the mood perfect, we have ice cream! In General, these treats are not only tasty, but also useful. Thirdly, the weather is warm. Who doesn’t like warm days when you can swim? Love them all! During summer, it is warm even at night. And so, you can walk from morning till late night. But watch your head from the sun! It seems that the summer is so long that we can forget about school for a long period of time. But these three months without textbooks, 92 days of freedom, 2208 hours of happiness, 132480 minutes of bliss, 7948800 seconds of brightness will also fly and will not be visible during the academic year. And at the end of August we will again prepare for the school to take books from the library, buy numerous notebooks, pens and pencils. As of September 1 we go back to school to gain new knowledge and to remember the old, and wait again for this long-awaited and most exciting part/period in the life of every person. 2015, June / missLINGVA 7
