Daniel: for me the number one holiday because we have a party. Stuart raises flag. Dad cooks food: hot dogs and hamburgers, my mom makes the cake. This evening Stuart and I light fireworks. But Melanie doesn't light the fireworks. It is small. Paul: I like this holiday best of all because it's spring. All green in the country-side. It is really beautiful. Mom is preparing a tradition-al food. I'm helping her to color eggs. Our parents give us chocolate bunnies*. Claire: this holiday is my first choice because we get gifts. Mom always makes a Christmas pudding, it is very tasty. Dad decorates the house and Christmas tree. Jay and I hand greeting cards on a wall and hang stockings on our bed.

Yesterday my Mum, Dad and I went to Covent Garden. While my parents were shopping, I was watching street actors' Performance. The performance was great! The pantomime actors and the jugglers were entertaining the people around for two hours. While one man in a bright cap was playing the violin,the juggler was juggling six big balls and the pantomime actor was standing like a statue. The people were laughing while the clowns were doing silly things. When my parents arrived, one of the actors was showing tricks. We left the performance while the people around were singing together with the street actors.
