Winter holidays are shorter than summer ones. They begin at the end of December and last about two weeks. It is so nice to have a rest from school.
During winter holidays we celebrate the New Year’s Eve and Christmas. There are New Year parties for children at schools and theatres. Cinemas show children films and cartoons.
It is usually very cold in winter, but frost and snow can’t keep children indoors. It’s so great to go skiing down a hill. Boys like to play hockey on the ice. Many children go to the skating-rinks to skate. Small children play snowballs and make snowmen, or ride on the sledges happily.
When the weather is bad, I stay at home and watch TV. There is always something interesting on during winter holidays. Sometimes my friends come to see me and we play computer games or listen to music. There is also more time for reading, drawing, making model planes and other hobbies.
Holidays pass quickly and soon it’s time to go to school again.
My Favourite Singer
My favourite singer is Max Korzh.
Max was born in Luninets, a town in Brest Region, in 1988. In 2012 he recorded his first album, "Animal World" ("Животный мир"). Since that time Korzh has recorded five albums and had more than 20 music videos released. Max has already received several music awards.
In my opinion, Max is the most popular Belarusian rap/hip-hop singer at the moment. We, teenagers, like his songs because he sings about problems that are important to us, about family, friendship, motivation in life and he finds simple words to describe these problems.
