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 away on holiday. 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 for holiday courses in the local newspaper. For a small fee you could try lots of different activities organized by the town’s youth club. 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, playing- writing or computing. I met some students from Bulgaria who invited me to visit Bulgaria next year. You can imagine how excited I am; in fact, it was one of the best summer holidays I’ve ever had!
