Autumn is a wonderful time of the year. In autumn, the trees turn yellow and become as if golden. It also rains a lot, but I like it raining. Because after the rain, a beautiful rainbow appears. Many people don't like autumn because of the bad weather, but I love autumn. I think autumn is a magical time of the year.
Осень-чудесное время года. Осенью деревья желтеют и становяться как будто золотыми. Также часто идут дожди, но мне нравится дождь. Потому что после дождя появляется красивая радуга. Многим не нравится осень из-за плохой погоды, но я люблю осень. Я считаю что осень-волшебное время года.
щNew year My name is Ekaterina. I am 14 years old. In our family the most favourite holiday is considered New year. At the beginning of December all have a festive mood. In the city decorate streets and show-windows of shops with bright, multi-colored garlands. And into a main square place a huge fir-tree. We start preparing for a holiday. At New Year's fairs we buy each other gifts, fir-tree toys and tinsel. At the end of December of the house we establish an artificial fir-tree and we dress up it by a holiday. On December 31 I help mother to prepare a festive table. The New Year's Eve seems to me always magic and unforgettable. At midnight, after speech of the president on TV, start beating a chiming clock. We wish each other a Happy New Year and we make wish, and then we exchange gifts. When I was small, gifts found under a fir-tree and thought that they to me were brought by Father Frost. And though I already adult, also don't believe that there is Father Frost, but on New Year's Eve there is a wish know in the fairy tale and to believe in a miracle.
