Horseback riding.

Horse back riding.  (teaching) (service)

Since I was a child I loved horses and horse back riding.  Every month with my family we used to go to the countryside where we stayed for a week

When I went to Switzerland I chose as my activity the horseback riding.  I went to horseback riding every week and then I understood that horse back riding is not as easy as it seems.  You have to know how to communicate to your horse and make him understand you.  They are special rules that you have to follow. 

When I went to Azerbaijan over the summer break my family decided to go to that same place where we used to go when I was small.  We stayed there for a week and I decided to teach to countryside children how to ride on a horse as I was taught in Switzerland.  They first thought that they don't need any help as they already know everything because in a small countryside town like Ismayilli,  they are no cars and everyone knows how to horseback ride.  However small kids understood that they are special rules in horseback riding,  which you have to follow.  And I can say that I have thought them something,  which they liked and will probably pass their knowledge to their friends.

Photography.

Over the summer I decided to do photography.  Summer in Azerbaijan is beautiful,  I had an opportunity to take a picture of a sea, flowers and also happy people who were enjoying their brake.  

after taking pictures I tried to make them original by changing their colours a bit and I thought that all of the pictures,  which I will take will be very bright and have a bit of yellow tone on them. 

Playing Tennis

Tennis is one of the sports, which I really like.  My favourite tennis player is Maria Sharapova  I follow tennis however I never really knew how to play it properly.  This summer was a good opportunity for me to make up for tennis.   One of my closest friends is really good at tennis and I asked her to teach me.  We were playing tennis every week.  

I was familiar with the rules more or less however I didn't now that the server had to keep one foot on the ground at all times.  It was weary to hit the  tennis ball however it was a bit hard for me to hit the ball back and I had a lot of misses.  At the end my friend said that my tennis playing skills have improved.
