summer season
We count six seasons in India. Summer is one of them. It is the hot season. It rules over May and June.

The earth moves round the sun. The part of it, which comes nearer the sun, gets the summer season. Because here the sun's rays are straight and direct.

In summer, everything is neat and clean. The earth is dry. Hence, there is no mud or march. Ways and paths are open to very place. Mangoes ripe in summer. We get plenty of mangoes. we get jack-fruits and pineapples. The shady groves of mango and palm trees are cool and beautiful. The cuckoo has not yet ceased to sing her music. The grass-hoppers make their merry dance on the cool blades of grass.

In Summer, the days are long. Hence we get more times to work. Even in summer comes last. So, the school-children got more times to play. The Summer flowers bloom in the evening. All the night they speared their sweet smell. The summer sky is clear and blue. Hence, the moon beams bright. Summer causes the rainy seasons. Because it evaporated water and stores the vapors in the atmosphere. These vapors turn into clouds and fall as rain.

At mid-day in summer, people suffer from a terrible heat. The weak and the old man die of sun-strokes. People feel tired and thirsty. There bodies perspire. Sweat comes out and flows down their bodies. They feel restless. Summer-boils trouble the children. Water tanks and wells go dry; so also river and canals. People do not get water to drink. Dogs pant with their tongues flowing. Trees go bald and creepers fade away. grasses dry off. So, cows do not get the pasture. All suffer from scarcity of water. Mid-day is very hot. The dumb cattle lie in groves. The silent birds hide in their nests. They weary travelers are parched by the scorching rays of the sun. They rest under the wayside trees.

Summer is the first in order of the seasons. It gives rise to four months of rain. Hence, we cannot blame it. Let us pay our due homage to summer.

Vacation essay example

It was terribly hot in June. Students were all looking forward to holidays. When our school broke up for summer vacation on the 3rd of June, we felt a great relief.

My father made a program to go to Mussoorie. I requested him to spend a few days at Haridwar also.

Haridwar is a beautiful town with lots of temples. It is situated on the bank of the holy Ganges. It is considered as a holy place of the Hindus. We stayed there for five days. We had jolly good time there. We used to go to the Ganges for a bath in the morning and in the evening. The water was very cold but we enjoyed it a lot. There was a great rush of people at the ghat. In the evenings, the ghat presented a gala appearance. The whole place hummed with life. Thousands of people could be seen coming and going.

After six days we went up to Mussoorie. It is a beautiful hill station and has been rightly called the “Queen of Hills”. We stayed there for about a week. The weather was very pleasant and the scenery simply charming. The atmosphere enjoyed long walks in the mornings and in the evenings. We also used to go to see pictures and for strolling. We went to see all famous places of Mussoorie.

After a week, we came back to Ludhiana. We bought some gifts for our friends. The weather in the plains was still very hot. This is how I spent my summer vacation. I can say with reasonable pride that I spent my vacation quite profitable.

So, you already know what exactly you will write about. Now pay attention to grammar. It is advisable to use verbs in the simple past tense (Past Simple), because the holidays have already passed, and you will write about what happened. A word of advice: do not be too sophisticated in tenses of verbs, especially for schoolchildren, this is useless. You can get confused and make mistakes.

Next, make yourself a short list of words that usually appear in an essay about the holidays. With pre-prepared vocabulary, you will write a given work faster. So the words might look something like this:
