Зима. Всюду белый чистый снег. Так и хочется гулять и резвиться. Поглядываю через окно и вижу детишек играющих на улице в снежки, стоят уже пару сделанных снеговиков. Дети скатываются с горок, рядом с ними сидит собака и поглядывает на них своей веселой мордашкой. Вроде тоже захотела поиграть. Зима - чудесная пора.

At school, things are going well, we can say excellent. If last year there were problems with physics and chemistry, in this I was able to significantly improve their grades. I try to engage yourself more - read, solve puzzles, sometimes watch educational programs and movies. When something does not understand, I ask an older brother to explain and listen carefully. The most interesting thing that I really started to like these things that used to seem boring and difficult. It's great.
Relationship in the classroom remarkable. Teachers often praised us for what we are friendly and give it to others as an example. All school activities we have proved from the best party. Especially memorable New Year's masquerade ball. All our guys have agreed not to buy suits, and sew them yourself, it is so interesting and immediately clear who and how much effort spent on creating attire. It was very unusual and colorful. I send you some pictures, I hope they will be able to convey the atmosphere of the holiday.
