Cet été, je pars en vacances avec mes parents. Nous allons chez ma grand-mère, à la campagne. Sa maison est grande avec un beau jardin.

Le matin, je me réveille tard parce qu'il n'y a pas d'école. Ma grand-mère prépare toujours un bon petit-déjeuner avec des fruits du jardin. L'après-midi, je joue avec mon cousin dans le jardin ou nous allons à la rivière.
