to make / to build sandcastles

An Ideal Holiday

to play on the sands

sandcastles with huge yellow walls

incoming tide

to watch the incoming tide destroy the sandcastles

to splash each other in the water

to shriek with excitement

to climb over the slippery rocks

to stare down at the fish and seaweed in the rock-pools

in the far-off days

to shine (shone, shone) constantly

to explore ruined houses

to climb trees that overhang the streams

the sound of waves breaking on the beach

to sunbathe

the feel of the sand running through one’s fingers

to look forward to sitting down to a good meal in the evening

to smell different smells

to see people wearing different kinds of clothes

to listen to different musical rhythms

to be used to smth.

to need one’s companions

to talk to one’s companions on warm moonlit nights

to make oneself seek on too many ices

On leisure…

1. While we were playing on the sands, our cousins were splashing each other in the water shriek with excitement.

2. After we had climbed down from the trees that overhung the streams we sunbathed feeling the sand running through our fingers.

3. Before we climbed over the slippery rocks, we had explored the ruined houses on the beach

4. We had been building sandcastles with huge yellow walls, listening to the sound of waves breaking on the beach for 3 hours before our uncle came and invited us to a good meal in the evening.

5. We had been sitting in the trees that overhung the streams staring down at the fish and seaweed in the rock-pools for an hour when we saw the incoming tide destroy the sandcastles.

6. Contemplating nature helped me recreate my own source of inspiration and I painted a beautiful sunrise.

7. Go for a walk in the forest. It will fill your mind with fresh springs of beauty.

8. Visiting exhibitions, museums, art galleries, concerts makes one’s own mind a fuller and richer treasure house.

9. A creative type of character gets full value from his leisure.

10. Leisure should be a refreshment. Then it sends out a man with fresh spirits to battle with problems of life.

11. If your weekend is full of promise you are eager to begin on some scheme which you have been planning for a week and you will look back at it with satisfaction when you review what you have achieved in your leisure time..
