My uncle is A shopkeeper. He has A shop in AN old village by THE River Thames near Oxford. THE shop sells A lot of things: bread, milk, fruit, vegetable and newspapers – almost everything. It is also A post-office. THE children in THE village always stop to spend A few pence on sweets or ice-cream on their way home from school. My uncle doesn’t often leave THE village. He hasn’t got A car, so once A month he goes by bus to Oxford and has lunch at THE Grand Hotel with some friends. He is one of THE happiest men I know.
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.
