Winter holidays are shorter than summer ones. They begin at the end of December and last about two weeks. It is so nice to have a rest from school.
During winter holidays we celebrate the New Year’s Eve and Christmas. There are New Year parties for children at schools and theatres. Cinemas show children films and cartoons.
It is usually very cold in winter, but frost and snow can’t keep children indoors. It’s so great to go skiing down a hill. Boys like to play hockey on the ice. Many children go to the skating-rinks to skate. Small children play snowballs and make snowmen, or ride on the sledges happily.
When the weather is bad, I stay at home and watch TV. There is always something interesting on during winter holidays. Sometimes my friends come to see me and we play computer games or listen to music. There is also more time for reading, drawing, making model planes and other hobbies.
Holidays pass quickly and soon it’s time to go to school again.
As you know, I am taking a summer course of English in one of the language schools in the UK. I like everything here. My schedule is great! Every day we have five or six lessons of English where teachers explain us grammar rules and we speak about common mistakes. Our teachers are great. They speak only English to us and if we don't understand they try to explain it in other words. I've got acquainted with two girls from France and a boy from Italy. As you understand, they don't speak Russian, so we speak English in our free time,too. The food and accomodation is also perfect. I share the room with two girls from Spain, they are attending a different course, so we don't meet during the day. The food is nice and fresh. We have something new every day. And we can take tea or juice with cookies any time we want. So if you can't decide where to go to study English, then join me.
Write back as soon as possible and tell me about your holidays.
Love,
