It is a well-known fact that Cardiff is a capital of Wales. It lies near the mouth of the river Taff, which flows into the English Channel. Romans first occupied this place about 75 BC, they built a fort there. In the 3rd—4th centuries they built a massive wall around it, nowadays people can still observe its traces at various parts of the modern city. When Roman forces left Britain, all the people followed their example. Only 700 years later with the coming of Normans, they came back to live there again.
For some people today Cardiff seems too Victorian, too formal, too dignified. But in fact it is not really so, Cardiff is a relaxed city with a thriving cultural life. The New Theatre of Cardiff performs all kinds of music and entertainment.
At last the winter holidays came! I was very happy! I hadn't 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 freinds 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 play hockey!
But the winter holidays were over and I returned to the city again. I liked my holidays very much.
Наконец наступили зимние каникулы! 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.
