I like read Russian folk fairy tales in which a character “Baba Yaga”. This is picturesque fairy heroine, but terrible outwardly. Her nickname “Bone leg”.

Baba Yaga have a long nose as hook and shaggy gray hair. She dressed in a long skirt, old apron, and on his head headscarf. Baba Yaga lives in thicket dense forest, in a hut on chicken legs. She can fly in air in mortar, helping himself a broom. Her small hut difficult too. She can face about and even run through the forest at its chicken legs.

In some fairy tales this character a evil, she bluster eat other fairy tales characters and “upon bones go for a drive”. For example, in fairy tales “Geese – swans”.

Sometimes, Yaga, vice versa, it helps others. For example, she save Ivan Tsarevich the chase in fairy tale about apples that make you young. She heat a bathhouse, feed tired Andrey-shooter in fairy tale “Go there, not knowing where”. And then Yaga even gives him magic frog, than to move across fiery river.

In some fairy tales she has a daughter  -  this is Vasilisa-beautiful or Mariana-wizard. This daughter enchantress too, but she beauty. And whence appeared Baba-Yaga – this is riddle. She loves speak: “ Fie, Russian spirit smells! ”. It turns our, she herself don’t Russian?

Although, this is character a terrible, but without imagine impossible a folk fairy tales. Therefore she – my favorite character!

New Year is my favourite holiday.We celebrate it on the 31st of December.

This year I celebrated New Year with my family. On New Year Eve we bought a New Year tree and decorated it with coloured balls and bright lights. We bought presents for our friends and relatives. My mother and I cooked a holiday supper. We made tasty salads, chicken, potatoes and mushrooms. We made a holiday cake, too. We bought a lot of fruit and sweets. We decorated our house with flakes and toys and put beautiful candles on the fireplace. We put a nice tablecloth, place and cups on the table.

Our guests came to visit us in the evening. They gave me wonderful presents. My aunt gave me a teddy bear as a present. My uncle`s present for me was a beautiful doll.

Then Father Frost came to our place. He was so funny! He had a big bag of presents.I told him a poem about winter, and he gave me a computer game as a present.

At last New Year came! We congratulated our dearest and nearest and wished them a Happy New Year! We enjoyed food and drinks. We danced, sang songs and played. I played the guitar. We had a good time together.

New Year was a merry and a happy holiday. I liked it very much.

 ПЕРЕВОД:

Новый год - мой любимый праздник. Мы отмечаем его 31 декабря.

В этом году я отмечала Новый год со своей семьей. В канун Нового года мы купили ёлку и украсили её разноцветными шарами и яркими огнями. Мы купили подарки нашим друзьям и родственникам. Мы с мамой приготовили праздничный ужин. Мы сделали вкусные салаты, курицу с картошкой и грибами. Мы также испекли праздничный торт. Мы купили много фруктов и конфет. Мы украсили наш дом снежинками и игрушками, и поставили красивые свечи на камин. Мы постелили красивую скатерть и поставили тарелки и чашки на стол.

Наши гости пришли к нам вечером. Они подарили мне чудесные подарки. Моя тетя подарила мне плюшевого медведя.В подарок от дяди я получила красивую куклую

Потом пришел Дед Мороз. Он был такой забавный! У него был большой мешок с подарками. Я рассказала ему стишок про зиму, и он подарил мне компьютерную игру.

Наконец, наступил Новый год! Мы поздравили наших самых близких и дорогих и пожелали им счастливого нового дома. Мы наслаждались едой и напитками. Мы танцевали, пели песни и играли. Я играла на гитаре. Мы хорошо провели время вместе.

Новый год был весёлый и счастливый праздник. Мне он очень понравился.
