CONTENT OF THE LESSON

How I Will Spend My Coming Holidays – My Plans 

The long holiday is fast approaching, and I am very happy about it. I have many plans for how I will spend my coming holidays wisely and happily.

First, I will help my parents with some house chores such as cleaning the house, washing plates, and running errands. I will also visit my grandparents and spend time with my family members.

Secondly, I will use part of the holiday to study my books and revise what I was taught in school. This will help me prepare well for the next term. I also plan to read storybooks and improve my handwriting.

During the holidays, I will play football with my friends and take part in other games to keep my body healthy and strong. I will also watch educational programmes on television.

Furthermore, I hope to learn new skills such as computer appreciation and good communication skills. I may also attend holiday lessons to improve my academic performance.

In conclusion, I intend to spend my coming holidays in a useful and enjoyable way. I believe the holiday will help me to rest, learn, and prepare for greater success in school.

How I Will Spend My Coming Holidays – Time for Rest 

The holiday is a time for rest, enjoyment, and learning new things. I am very excited because the coming holidays will give me the opportunity to relax after a busy school term.

During the holidays, I will spend more time with my family. I will help my mother in the kitchen and assist my father with simple tasks at home. I also plan to visit some of my relatives and friends.

I will not spend all my time playing. I will read my notes and textbooks every day so that I will not forget what I have learnt in school. I also want to improve my reading and spelling skills by reading interesting books.

Apart from studying, I will engage in sports and games with my friends. I enjoy playing football and skipping. These activities will help me stay healthy and active.

I also hope to learn some useful skills during the holiday. I want to learn basic computer skills and how to communicate politely with people. I may attend holiday coaching lessons as well.

In conclusion, I plan to spend my coming holidays in a productive and meaningful way. I believe the holidays will help me become more responsible, active, and prepared for the next school term.
