Our Compositions At an English Lesson My summer holidays! We had been planning how to spend the vacation this time. I started thinking of all the possibilities of the places that we could be going. My parents wished to go to Great Britain. We packed our bags. I had so much fun! I relaxed and it was really fun spending the vacation with my family. I took lots of photos. We returned on August 12, much refreshed and happy. The vacation is over and I am back to school. The summer I had was amazing! I told my parents that we would plan similar holidays for every summer vacation, in the coming years! Alena Kasatkina, Grade 5 My summer holidays. I spent my holidays in Novy Vyselky. My friends and I spent a lot of time outdoors. We swam, played and rode our bikes. We also picked berries and gathered mushrooms it the nearby forest. There is a small river near the forest and we swam when the weather was fine. I took lots of photos. It was great. I like my summer holidays. Lera Valueva, Grade 5 Animals are our Friends Wild animals are dangerous. Therefore, people held them in the cages, in the park or zoo. Why do people keep animals in zoos and park? Because they want to show them to children. People believe that the best place for animals is in the park. I also think it is better for animals to live in wild animals parks. People give food them, and take care of them there. N. Arshinova, Grade 6 Zarubkino is my native village. I live in Zarubkino. Zarubkino is a very old village in Zubova Polaynskaya region. It was mentioned in 11th century by Russian knights. Very kind, industrious people live there. The main street is named after Balashov. Balashov was famous scientist; he was a professor of history in the Ogarev University. There are not very big houses in my village but the gardens are big and beautiful. There are no sights in my village besides the church, village Soviet and Elementary School. But the nature in my place is very rich. Fieldes are full of berries, forests are full of mushrooms. There are two ponds in my place Pudley and Eshelay. I like Eshelay very much. You may swim and dive there from May to September. The water is deep and clean. You can see many fishermen there early morning. A. Aryapov, Grade 7 Kargal For me Kargal will always be best place in the world because all my family and my best friends live there! My village is not famous for well-known people or museums and art galleries. It is small. There are only 2 streets, a school and a shop. But the countryside is beautiful. There is a river not far from Kargal, 2 beautiful ponds. The houses are small but the gardens are big.and beautiful. People speak on Moksha language but they speak also Russian. I like living in Kargal. A. Shepeleva, Grade 7 English is in my Life For a while there was one language and it served its purpose. Later when the mankind decided to build the Tower of Babel, God got angry and made people speak different languages. At first it seemed to be bad but in fact it was a chance to study different languages. Why do l study English language? For me this question has several answers and each of them is important to me. I want to learn English because l want to visit United Kingdom where Horry Potter lives. He is my role model. O. Myalina, Grade 7

Halloween October is Halloween. This festival celebrates the return of the souls of the dead who come bask to visit places where they lived. In the evening there are lots of Halloween parties. People dress up as witches, ghosts, devils, cats or bats. Houses are decorated with pumpkins with candies inside them. Some children follow the American custom called Trick or Treat. They knock at your house and ask, Trick or treat? If you give some money or some sweets (a treat), they go away. If not, they can play a trick on you, like splashing water in your face. No Halloween party is complete without a scary story. Usually people crowd together around a fire on Halloween night. And one person tells a scary in a low voice.
