Like any child, I was insanely happy with the snow. We have a place in the city, called "mound", when snow falls all the children of the city go there to ride a sled. My friends and I loved this place, since the frosts were not strong, we went for walks almost every day. We made snowmen, played snowballs, sledged, until they froze, if the frost started to win us, we went to the nearest store to eat buns and drink coffee.
These were unforgettable walks, but this is not all that I did on vacation. A few days after the New Year, a mother's sister came to visit with her husband and daughter. We gave them a tour of the winter city, and also went to the circus, who came with a new program, and also went to the cinema for an interesting cartoon. Soon the guests left, which meant that the holidays were coming to an end. Therefore, I began to repeat the material I had covered, to learn poetry and read works in advance, so that later it would be easier.
Despite the fact that I spent the holidays at home, it was very fun, the weather was good. I had time and spend time with relatives, with friends, to visit interesting places in the city, as well as to tighten up my studies. Like every schoolboy, now I will wait for a new vacation and try to finish with honors a new semester.
The second week my family took me to a winter resort. I don’t ski very well, so it was hard in the beginning to learn how to ski down mountain slopes. But the next day, I learned to keep balance and fell to the ground only a few times. At a ski resort we spent 4 days. During this period I managed to make friends and girlfriends, with whom now I keep in touch and correspond through the internet. We hope to see one another again at the same place next year.
By the end of winter break my spirits fell. Suddenly it came in on me that I had not done some homework. But still there were a couple of days left, and I had time to do the tasks before the beginning of classes. How quickly vacations end! And how long a school year lasts!
