Winter is Fun!
Winter is such a frosty season! The days are the shortest and the
nights are the longest and the darkest in the year . But a lot of people like winter
because it’s wonderful in the country. And in the middle of winter all people celebrate
a merry New Year and Christmas. The kids decorate their fir-trees with bright trimmings,
which they have bought in the shops or have made with their own hands. People see in the
New Year at home or at their friends’.
Winter is fun for schoolchildren. They all have merry holidays – a
good break in the school year. During the holidays children enjoy big and exciting New
Year parties in different clubs, sport complexes and stadiums. There are funny clowns from
the circus and the children laugh gaily. Children can go to the theatre, to the cinema or
to the circus. They enjoy interesting plays, exciting films, magic cartoons, colourful
circus shows and what not.
If the weather is fine and not too cold and frosty, boys and girls have
a good chance to skate at the skating rink. And almost all the children are fond of
skating and playing hockey in the fresh air. How nice it is to spend a week out of a noisy
town! We don’t want to miss a chance to ski in the wood. Of course, it’s wonderful
there. The snowy forest looks like an imaginary palace of the Snow Queen. If we keep our
eyes open, we can see a lot of wonders around us. We can see squirrels with bushy tails
and quick hares . We can see different birds flying from branch to branch. At the edge of
the forest little children are busy making snow-men and sledging down the hills.
As you see, children find a lot of things to enjoy in winter. And if we are busy with
interesting occupations, winter holidays pass so quickly!
