READING COMPREHENSION
THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS ARE COMING

Hi guys! Now I am trying to do my homework, but I must say that I am looking

forward to the next summer holidays. Still a few weeks to go but believe me
my friends and I just have this in mind and it’s difficult to work, too hot!!!
My family, that is my father John, my mother Susan , my little sister Sue and
me, Mike are going to leave our small terraced house in London at the end of
July and go to Brittany in France in a camp site by the sea, near Saint Malo.
There, we are going to do nothing but lie on the beach, sunbathe, make huge
sand castles, swim and ride our bikes. I have been there already, it was last year,
and I know there can be some wind at times, so I am going to take my brand new kite
with me. I am sure to meet some new friends in the camp, that will be great to play or
go to the beach together even if I have to look after my little sister as well. My
parents will probably organize big barbecues and invite neighbours after spending
the day on the beach, they like meeting new people. We will go and visit Mount Saint
Michael, we will also go to some nice “crêperies” or eat the famous Sanchez ice
creams!! Yet I hope the weather will be nice, because there, in Brittany, you never
know!! Some days were quite cold and rainy last year, but I don’t mind because it will
just be the holidays !!!
