Winter

Hi! I’m Angela Swenson. I’m eleven years old and I live with my parents,
my little sister Amy and our lovely dog Rex in Boston. We are very friendly
and love our dog. My sister likes to play with Rex. They are very funny
indeed.
Do you like winter? I do! I adore it. You know, it is the coldest season
of the year. Sometimes the temperature is 35° below zero or even lower. The air is fresh
and healthy. You need a warm coat, a woolen hat, warm boots, and mittens not to catch a
cold or the flu.
The nature is wonderful in winter. Everything is white: houses, trees, roads. The trees
look magnificently with fluffy glimmering snow. The rivers are covered with ice and you can
skate on them. You can see icicles on the roofs of the houses and hoarfrost on the trees.
Children have much fun in winter. They ski, skate, play snowballs, sledge, make snowmen
and snow forts, skateboard, snowboard.
We have two great holidays in winter-Christmas and New Year. We like both of them.
We decorate our house with garlands, toys, coloured balls, candles. We like to get
presents on these holidays finding them under the New Year trees or in the socks.
It is a fantastic season!
