Winter

WinterWinter is my favourite season of the year. I have a lot of free time during winter. In my free time I watch TV, play computer games with my cousin Veljko. My family and I decorate our Christmas tree. The movie that I like the most and that I watch every Christmas is Home Alone (part 1, 2, 3 and 4!). One day my cousin Veljko and I threw a really strong firecracker. My cousin loves big fireworks. Last Christmas I got the UEFA champions league Jabulani ball! When it is snowy and cold outside I put on myself two pairs of socks, two trousers, two scarves, gloves and a winter hat. I am good at snowball fights. My two favourite holidays are – Christmas and New Year. This is the time when I am with my family and the time when I get presents. I love winter!

Winter

My favourite thing about the winter is making a snowman. Winter is nice because of the snow. If I could live anywhere in the world during winter time, I would live in Australia, because it is summer there, and I prefer summer! However, the best thing to do on a snow day is to play with your friends and family. During winter holidays I like watching my favourite Christmas movies. One of them is Home Alone. When I look out the window during winter I can see a lot of snow and children playing outside. The best family tradition during winter is giving presents. My family and I enjoy decorating our Christmas tree. My sister and I always compete over who will put a star on the Christmas tree. My mum and I bake our favourite cookies for Christmas. Yummie!

My favourite thing about the winter...

My favourite thing about the winter is...Mhmm... I don't know – many things I guess, such as making snowmans, getting presents, throwing firecrackers and so on. If I could live anywhere in the world during the winter time it would be South Alaska, because it is always sonwy there. The best thing to do on a snow day is making snowmen, but you have to have enough carrots, buttons, brooms and other equipment for different parts of their bodies. My favourite winter holiday is Christmas because I get many presents from Santa Claus. Of course, I enjoy helping my mum with Christmas cookies and cakes. Firecrackers are definitely the best thing about winter holidays! I can throw them as much as I like when the school is out. What else? Oh, yes! I like New Year, too. Then I go to my friend's place. There we throw firecrackers and set off fireworks. One of my favourite holiday activities is watching Christmas movies, such as Home Alone. What I don't like about winter is cold weather. Oh, I forgot to explain what the best way to win a snowball fight is. First, you should hide yourself behind something. Then, you should call your friends, make as many snowballs you can and together with your friends shoot the enemy team. Good luck!

Christmas  on  the Beach

What if I could spend the winter on the beach instead? Well, then I would certainly be in Australia with my family and friends beacuse  in Australia it would be summer then. We would swim in the sea and watch dolpfins jumping out the water. On the beach, instead of sunshades,  we would have a Christmas tree which would be decorated. We would have ice-creams or some tropical fruits for lunch, naturally.  I would occasionally dive or fish with my friends. We would probably visit a farm so we could see sheep or go to a desert to see kangaroos. Finnaly, when Christmas is over, we would go back to Croatia and of course, I would tell everybody in my class  that I had a great time in Australia.

Winter

My favourite season of the year is winter. I love it because of snow and holidays. When it snows here on Rujevica where I live, there is plenty of snow. Children go outside and have fun. I love it when Christmas comes. Then members of my family decorate a Christmas tree. We have a great time then. Everyone around me, friends and family, loves winter. It is just lovely when the snow covers treetops and roofs of houses and buildings in my neighbourhood. My friends and I love to go outside. We laugh a lot and have fun. We play in the snow. What I like most about the winter is family gathering on Christmas Eve. And we all love presents, too. There is something special about winter holidays that I can’t describe in words.

Winter morning

A blossomed ice flower,

a delicate snowflake -

flying in the air.

Biting, cold wind

 sweeping bare tree branches,

shaking the snowflakes

off the Snowman's coat.

I let it sink in,

My heart filled with glee.

New Year

My favourite holiday is New Year. My friends and I start celebrating the arrival of New Year two days before New Year's Eve. We start by throwing firecrackers in our street. On New Year's Eve we again get together for a New Year's Eve party. If there is snow, we make a snowman and bunch of snowballs. Then we start a snowball fight. When the snowball fight is over, the winner is the one with the least snow on his or her body.

When it snows, I like to sit next to the window, drink hot cocoa and watch beautiful snowflakes. I like to watch movies, such as Home Alone, it is great. Winter is unique because when it snows everything around us is wrapped up in white. I like to be wrapped in cuddly blanket. Winter is beautiful in many ways, but the most beautiful thing of all is that it brings family members together, around the fireplace, around the Christmas tree.

My favourite thing about the winter is snow. Snow is real fun, it is perfect for all kinds of games. On a snow day you can do all sorts of things, such as make a big snowman or take part in a snowball fight. I would like to see snow this winter. It is my favourite season of the year.

When it snows outside and I am sick, I can't go out so all that is left for me to do is watch TV. My favourite holiday special is Home Alone. When this happens I am very sad. All my friends are outside, playing, sledging, throwing snowballs at each other, building a snowman. I can just sit and drink tea. I can hear firecracks. Oh, this winter... It can be a real pain in the neck if you are sick while your friends are playing outside. Again, I look through my window. I see a beautiful snowman that I haven't done. I hate being sick! It's horrible. The next day I feel better. I run out of the house right away and I win in a snowball fight. I am happy again. I love winter!

My favourite thing about the winter is that everything around us is covered in snow. Winter is unique because of the snow, but also because of the happiness of people who enjoy winter. If I could live anywhere in the world during the winter time, it would be the Alps. The best thing to do on a snow day is iceskate and build a perfect snowman. If you want to build a perfect snowman you should try really hard and do your best. What I like to do on a snowy day is have a good old snowball fight.

When I look out the window during winter, I see earth covered in white and children playing on that white carpet. My favourite holiday special is How Grinch Stole Christmas. The best family tradition during winter is gathering around the Christmas tree.

Winter

Winters are unique because of the snow. The best thing to do on a snowy day is to make a snowman. I like making angels in the snow. It's fairly easy. You just lie on your back on the snow, spread your arms and legs and move them back and forth. When you get up, there should be the shape of an angel on the ground. My favourite thing about the winter are snowball fights. Let me tell you how to win a snowball fight! You should get behind something and shoot the others. Make sure to have enough artillery. In other words, prepare plenty of snowballs in advance.

Building a perfect snowman

I like building a snowman. I build him every year. Together with my friends we collect snow on a big pile and make the snowman's body. We take some material, for example buttons, and press it hard in his head. That is how snowman gets his eyes and mouth. We give him a carrot and now he has got a nose! We stick a broom to his side. You can put a scarf around his neck and a hat on his head. Now he is done!

If I could live anywhere in the world during the winter it would be New York. That city is beautiful in winter. It snows every day. The children play in the snow. People go shopping. They buy presents for their families, because it is Christmas. In their homes, families play games. On Christmas Eve, children go to sleep believing that Santa Claus is going to bring them presents the next morning. In the morning, they open their presents. The usual Christmas greeting is Merry Christmas!
