TOPIC 16 «Your plans for the becoming winter holidays»

Winter brings us the atmosphere with joy and magic. People decorate their houses and flats, cook tasty food and buy presents for each other. Despite the weather is cold and frosty, the temperature goes down, ponds, rivers are frozen and the roads are sometimes covered with slippery ice or deep snow. During this time, I would like go skiing, skating, sledging or tobogganing with my family or friends. I like activity holidays. Unfortunately, because of frosty weather I am chilled to the bone. Everyone is grumbling and scolding the weather. The trees are bare because heavy winds stripped them of all leaves and it seems like all nature has fallen asleep. Especially in winter we have holidays, they begin at the end of December and last for a week. I always look forward to this amazing time of the year, because I do not have to get up early and go to the University. In addition, I have a chance to spend some time with my family and friends. In winter season, I like to go out the country, when soft, white snowflakes are falling thick and lost covering the ground and roofs. When the branches of the fir trees and pines are covered with snow, they look beautifully. Everything seems to be covered into a white blanket. Moreover, it is always nice to stay inside, drinking hot chocolate and enjoying the company of friends and family. What is more, winter is a season of celebrations, and we celebrate New Year and Christmas. These are my favourite holidays of the year. I love winter holidays, because it is great time to relax, see relatives and friends. I feel a little sad when my winter holidays come to the end.
