At last the winter holidays came! I was very happy!   I didn't have  to get up early in the morning and run to school. I could stay in the bed till midday. But I didn't want to sleep. There were a lot of things to do. The weather was fine so my friends and I went to the skating- rink almost every day. It was fun! Then I spent a week in the country where my grandfather and grandmother lived. It was great. I drank milk and eat a lot of tasty food which my granny prepared for me. I have many friends in this village because I go there every holidays. We went to the forest to ski, we made snowmen and played snowballs. We even played hockey! But the winter holidays were over and I returned to the city again.  I liked my holidays very much.  

Наконец наступили зимние каникулы! Я был очень счастлив!  Я не должен был вставать рано утром и бежать в школу. Я мог  оставаться в постели до полудня. Но я не хотел спать. Было так много дел. Погода была хорошая, так что мои друзья и я ходили на каток почти каждый день. Это было весело! Затем я провел неделю в деревне, где  живут мои дедушка и бабушка . Это было здорово. Я пил молоко и ел много вкусной пищи, которую моя бабушка готовила для меня. У меня много друзей в этой деревне, потому что я езжу туда каждые каникулы. Мы ходили в лес кататься на лыжах, мы делали снеговиков и играли в снежки. Мы даже играли в хоккей! Но зимние каникулы закончились, и я вернулся в город снова. Мне очень понравились мои каникулы.
