MY SUMMER HOLIDAYS
Usually, at the end of May we had our summer examination session. I have passed it successfully. I have got only good and excellent marks. I hope I shall get an increased stipend.
After session I had my practical training at the local polyclinic N 1 in Kuva town of Fergana province. I worked there as a nurse. During my practical training I learnt how to measure blood pressure, take temperature, count pulse rate, give intramuscular and intravenous injections and to take care after the patients.
After my practical training I had a rest at the camp of our Institute which is in Honobod town. It is for students, teachers, professors and other workers of ASMI. At a camp we swam in the river or swimming-pool, played basketball, ping-pong and badminton. In the evening we danced, sang songs or watched at the stars in the bright night sky.
At the beginning of August I visited my grandparents in Tashkent and enjoyed having a good rest there. At home I helped my parents to do the work about the house, visited my school friends, listened to music, watched interesting TV-programmes and read books.
In August, we took part in the preparation for the celebration of the 28^th anniversary of the Independence of our country. We celebrated the 1^st of September among the family. We went to Alisher Navoi Park, enjoyed the concert, ate shashlik, had an ice-cream and coca-cola.
In the whole I spent my summer holidays very well. And now I am ready for my study at the Institute.
