The first few days after getting home from college were okay but then I

began to feel rather bored and lonely. My parents were busy working and most

of my friends were either away on holiday or else had holiday jobs. I had tried to

get a job myself but without success. I was beginning to wish I had not come

home when I saw an advertisement tier holiday courses in the local newspaper.

For a small fee you could try lots of different activities organized by town's

youth club. Each activity lasted half a day. I had not expected the courses to be

very interesting but they were excellent, I also met new people as many of the

tourists staying in the town joined in. You could do things like painting, acting,

play-writing or computing. I met some students from Bulgaria who invited me to

visit their country next year. You can imagine how excited I am, in fact it was

one of the best summer holidays I've ever had!
