Summer Holidays are Something to Remember
When boys and girls come to school after their summer holidays they are asked the same question: How did you spend your summer holidays?
The answers are usually different. Some children went camping, some travelled to different places, and others enjoyed their summer holidays in the country or at the seaside, or in the mountains.
Children can do a lot of things in summer.

The Old Man and the Sea
This is a short but powerful story for which Hemingway was awarded the Nobel prize for literature in 1954. The idea expressed in “For Whom the Bell Tolls”, that the loser must not lose heart, is developed here.
For two nights and two days Santiago, an old fisherman, struggles in a small fishing-boat at sea to land a great fish that he has caught. Читать далее The Old Man and the Sea ( by Ernest Hemingway)
Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway will always be remembered as a writer of prose in which every word had meaning and where nothing was wasted.
