For most schoolchildren summer is the best season. They have these wonderful three-month holidays. Some children go to the countryside and visit their grandparents. Others travel abroad with their families. But many children stay in Moscow because they want to spend summer with their school friends.

You can often see groups of happy children in Moscow in summer. They walk in the city centre, ride their bikes in big parks, eat hamburgers in McDonald’s, go to the cinema. Some girls like to spend time in big shopping centres. They don’t buy many things, but they enjoy going from shop to shop and looking at beautiful clothes in the shop windows. Boys don’t like shops, they prefer playing sports games like football, basketball and volleyball at sports grounds. But all children go to big shopping centres to have lunch, because you can buy cheap fast food and ice cream there.

At weekends parents don’t work and they want to be with their children. They take their sons and daughters to museums and cosy cafes. Some families go to their country houses — dachas.

In summer children don’t have any homework, so they can play computer games or watch TV. The most popular TV programmes in this holiday time are sports, different films and cartoons. Also, teenagers spend a lot of time on the Internet, more than they do during their school year.
