I spent my winter holidays great. My family and I went skiing and sledding. Dad and I went to play hockey. We ate deliciously in the new year, watched the fireworks. Dad and I launched our fireworks and firecrackers, it was very interesting. Basically, my family and I walked and our dog, which was 2 years old in the new year. It was very interesting and exciting.
(Я провел свои зимние каникулы отлично. Мы с семьей катались на лыжах и на санях. Мы с папой ездили играть в хоккей. Мы вкусно поели в новый год, посмотрели феерверки. Мы с папой запускали свои феерверки и хлопушки, было очень интересно. В основном мы с семьей гуляли и нашей собакой, которой исполинлось в новый год 2 года. Было очень интересно и увлекательно.)
Captain Frederick Marriath was an English writer well known for his adventure novels. He wrote Children of the New Forest, one of the first history books for children. History takes us to England in 1647. Cromwell's soldiers sent the king to prison, and anyone who sided with him becomes their enemy. Colonel Beverly was a brave man and died fighting for the king. Now his house is burned down and his four children are in danger. Fortunately, they manage to escape to New Forest, where they live with their father's old friend Jacob. Children should forget about their noble birth and learn to run a household. They live a quiet but poor life and secretly dream not only to survive, but also to restore justice.
