Twelve brothers (A)
Hi, we are twelve brothers. We are dwarfs (гномы). Our names are the names of
the months. We live in a big hill (холм). There is a big blue lake near it.
Hi! My name is January. I like winter. I like frosty and sunny days. I like when
the snow is white and clean. Our hill looks very pretty in frosty and sunny weather.
I like boys and girls. I often help them to make a snowman. I like to go
tobogganing.
Hi! My name is February. I like when the snow covers our hill. I like when it's
windy. I like frosty weather too. In frosty weather I often stay at home and have a
cup of tea with cakes. My favorite season is winter.
Hi! My name is March. I don't like winter. I like spring. I like slush. I like
puddles. I often sail boats in the pond. I'm very naughty.
Hi! My name is April. I like when it's warm. It's nice when the green grass
covers our hill. I like to skip and run. I like to fly kites.
Hi! My name is May. I like little green leaves on the trees. I like birds and bees.
I like spring flowers. I'm very noisy. I like to play sports. I play football every day.
Hi! My name is June. My favorite season is summer. I like when it's hot. In hot
weather I often go to the lake. I swim in the lake and lie in the sun. Sometimes I
sunbathe. It's fun.
Hi! I'm July. I often go to the wood. I pick mushrooms and berries. I can make
jam. I keep it in my cupboard. I've got a lot of friends in the wood. I like trees,
birds, animals and plants. They are all my friends.
Hi! I'm August. My favorite season is summer too. I like to pick apples and
pears. I like to work in the garden.
sunbathe – загорать, pick - собирать, berry – ягода, cupboard - буфет
Hi! I'm September. I like autumn. I like to go to school. I can read and write
well.
Hi! We're October and November. We help our brothers to do the housework.
We aren't lazy. We like cold rainy days. On these days we stay at home and play
chess. But where's our brother December?
Here I am! I'm December. Look! I've got a Christmas tree. Let's decorate it! I
like Christmas holidays. I like presents. I like to give my brothers presents. I like to
get presents too. Let's sing and dance! Let's make a cake!
