For most people there is no problem in deciding how they aregoing to spend the money they earn - it all goes on housing,food, clothess, transport and, if they are lucky, leisure andsome holidays. Many of us have spent our lives without doinganything out of the ordinary and now I have got a marvellousopportunity of doing something exciting and I will. If I win theprize of 20,000 dollars, I will spend it in the world round trip.
To travel round the world has long been my dream and withthis sum of money behind me this dream is likely to be realized.I am going to take a trip round the world. I am going to do a lotof sight seeing. I am goung to put up at expensive hotels andspend much money on entertaiment and other exciting things.
My travel experience would begin in New York, known asone of the world's most modern cities because of its highbuildings and its dynamic spirit. From New York I would cross theAtlantic Ocean to England. In London I would explore the BritishMuseum and visit the shops and pubs along King's Road in Chelsea.My next stop would be Amsterdam, an attractive city because ofits steep narrow houses and canals lined with trees. Flying on toCoppenhagen I would eat Danish open-faced sandwiches and beentertainde at night clubs in Tivoli Gardens. Having seen enoughcities by this time I would head South to the Italian Riviera.Portofino, a handsome fishing village resembling an operasetting, is one of the most charming vacations sports in Europe.Of course, a serious traveller could not leave Italy withoutvisiting Florence, Venice, Naples and Rome, for all these citiesare living museums. Continuing South, I would trace the beginningof Western civilization. I would make stops in Athens and Cario.Certainly a chance to see the pyramids should not be missed.Next, I would fly east to visit the shimmering island of Ceylon.Here, the traveller finds many precious gems for sale, but thebrightest jewel of all is Ceylon itself. Leaving this island Iwould travel to Bangkok, an Oriental city of many charms. Then,like mane other travellers, I would be drawn to Hong Kong, theshopper's paradise.
Leaving Asia, I would load my over stuffed suitcase on aplane bound for Acapulco. In this Mexican resort, I would swim,sunbathes and eat spicy foods.
At this time it would be necessary to count my remainingtravellers checks.
If a tour of Latin America were still possible, I would wantto stop in Peru, Argentina, Brazil. But by that time mu fundswould probably have run low. So, where would my round the wouldtrip end? For me there is only one answer: Moscow, the city Iwill never tire of calling home.
The windows are blue at night.
FebruaryBut in the morning they are white.
And snowflakes are falling
Come out they are calling.
Get out of bed and take your sled
My WishThis cold and frosty day.
The sun is bright, the snow is right
For outdoor winter day.
New Year
Come, children, gather round my knee,
Something is about to be.
Tonight’s December thirty-first,
Something is about to burst.
Hark, it’s midnight, children dear,
Huck, here comes another year!
New Year
A happy New Year!
The day is so clear,
The snow is so white,
The sky is so bright, We shout with all our might:
“A happy New Year!”
A happy New Year for me,
A happy New Year for you,
A happy New Year for everyone!
That’s what I wish – I do!It’s Snowing
It’s snowing, It’s snowing.
What a lot of snow!
Let us make some snowballs
We all like to throw.
It’s snowing, it’s snowing.
Let us sledge and ski!
When I’m dashing downhill
Clear the way for me!
Robin
In winter-time
When the days are chill,
A robin sits on my window-sill.
I putout bread
For him to eat,
And cake-crumbs too
As a little treat.
He picks them up
So prettily,
Then sings a “Thank you”
Song for me.
Winter.
This is the season
When mornings are dark,
And birds do not sing
In the forests and park.
This is the season
When children ski
And Father Frost brings
The New Year Tree!
New Year.
New things to learn, new friends to meet.
New songs to sing, new books to read.
New things to see, new things to hear.
New things to do in this New Year!
