At last the winter holidays came! I was very happy! I didn't have to get up early in the morning and run to school. I could stay in the bed till midday. But I didn't want to sleep. There were a lot of things to do.
The weather was fine so my friends and I went to the skating- rink almost every day. It was fun!
Then I spent a week in the country where my grandfather and grandmother lived. It was great. I drank milk and eat a lot of tasty food which my granny prepared for me.
I have many friends in this village because I go there every holidays.
We went to the forest to ski, we made snowmen and played snowballs. We even played hockey!
But the winter holidays were over and I returned to the city again. I liked my holidays very much.
! Я был очень счастлив! Я не должен был вставать рано утром и бежать в школу. Я мог оставаться в постели до полудня. Но я не хотел спать. Было так много дел.
Погода была хорошая, так что мои друзья и я ходили на каток почти каждый день. Это было весело!
Затем я провел неделю в деревне, где живут мои дедушка и бабушка . Это было здорово. Я пил молоко и ел много вкусной пищи, которую моя бабушка готовила для меня.
У меня много друзей в этой деревне, потому что я езжу туда каждые каникулы.
Мы ходили в лес кататься на лыжах, мы делали снеговиков и играли в снежки. Мы даже играли в хоккей!
Но зимние каникулы закончились, и я вернулся в город снова. Мне очень понравились мои каникулы.
New Year
New Year is my favourite holiday. New Year is celebreted since 31 December up to 1 January. Main heroes of this holiday Father Frost and Snow Maiden. In the city the streets and shop windows are decorated with bright and motley garlands. People begin to prepare for the holiday. They decorate their flats with different decorations. We also decorate the New Year tree colourful lights, tinsel, toys ad balls.Families go shopping and buy various presents. Some people make presents themselves. And all people put presents under tree. New Year's Eve always seems magical and unforgettable. At midnight chiming clock begins to strike. We wish each other a happy New Year and make a wish and then exchange gifts.
