MY FAVOURITE
HOLIDAYS AND CELEBRATIONS
I want to tell you about my favourite holidays. Russians like
holidays a lot. We usually celebrate each of them with a lot of
food and presents and in big groups of relatives and friends.
I like New Year a lot. My mother and I usually decorate a New
Year tree with colourful glass balls and toys. I also like
cooking New Year supper, especially Olivier salad. At night we
have a real feast. We eat what we have cooked and watch TV.
After clock strikes midnight, New Year comes. We drink champagne
and give each other presents.
My other favourite celebration is my birthday which is in
September. On this day I am in the centre of attention. My
parents and friends give me presents, and I usually have a
birthday party at home. I invite close friends and we have fun
together.
I also like St.Valentine’s Day, which is a new holiday in
Russia. It is celebrated on the 14th of February. On this day I
usually give small greeting cards to all my friends as a sign of
my attention. We also have Love mail at school. A box is placed
on the ground floor of the building and anybody can put into it
a card with the name of the person it is addressed to and the
number of the form. In the middle of the day the mail is
delivered and it is nice to get a card from a person you don’t
know.
I really enjoy holidays and celebrations! Vocabulary: be addressed [bi: a’drest] быть адресованным
