Here is the transcript:
Летом многие русские семьи любят ездить на дачу. Дача – это небольшой дом за городом, где люди отдыхают, работают в саду и проводят время на свежем воздухе. У кого-то дача большая и удобная, а у кого-то совсем простая: маленький домик, старый стол, несколько грядок и яблоня во дворе.
На даче люди часто выращивают овощи, ягоды и цветы. В июле уже можно есть свежие огурцы, зелёный лук, укроп, салат и клубнику. Иногда кажется, что дача – это не отдых, а вторая работа. Нужно поливать растения, собирать ягоды, бороться с сорняками и чинить всё, что сломалось за зиму.
Но всё равно многие любят дачу. Там можно пить чай на улице, слушать птиц, жарить шашлыки и долго разговаривать вечером. Для многих людей дача – это место, где лето чувствуется особенно сильно.
Translation:
In the summer, many Russian families like to go to the dacha. A dacha is a small house outside the city, where people relax, work in the garden, and spend time outdoors. Some people have a large and comfortable dacha, while others have a very simple one: a small house, an old table, a few garden beds, and an apple tree in the yard.
At the dacha, people often grow vegetables, berries, and flowers. In July, you can already eat fresh cucumbers, green onions, dill, lettuce, and strawberries. Sometimes it seems that the dacha is not rest, but a second job. You need to water the plants, pick berries, fight weeds, and fix everything that broke during the winter.
But many people still love the dacha. There you can drink tea outside, listen to birds, grill shashlik, and talk for a long time in the evening. For many people, the dacha is a place where summer feels especially strong.
