Agrowing number of people think that animals are not to be exploited by people and they should have certain rights. although, there are still some people, who believe that people have the rights to employ animals in order to satisfy their needs, for example, to use them for food or medical research. opinions differ on this issue. most humans think that they are more important on this planet, so to survive they conduct experiments on animals. in my opinion, it is wrong. animals have appeared on this planet just as any other living creature, so they should be treated equally. they also have feelings and they can feel the pain just like people. almost all animal are capable of loving. irrespective of being a bird or a mammal, when animals are loved by people, they can return this love in many ways. thus, it is unfair to ignore their importance. the only difference between animals and human beings is that they cannot speak and express their feelings through words. when domesticated and treated properly, animals are of great help to people. there were times when carriages were pulled by horses, sheep herded by dogs. however, things have changed with the development of science and new technologies. starting from the 20th century, animals are mostly regarded as the source of food and research. they are being tortured to save people from deathly diseases. luckily, there are such organizations as world society for the protection of animals, which try to protect the animals around the globe. their main mission is exposing cruelty and pioneering sustainable methods to avoid animal suffering.

Winter vacations are a very cheerful time. And let them be considered long, I did not waste time.

The morning of my days off began with charging and a delicious mother's breakfast. In the afternoon my friends and I went to the skating rink, sometimes we went skiing in the city park. And on weekends my father and I went out of town, where we went skiing and tubing. As my father explained to me, tubing - these are rubber inflatable wheels on which you need to roll from the mountain. From the speed I was breathtaking and I even cried with delight! And in the evenings I played with my sister and sometimes sat at the computer, communicating via the Internet with my relatives from another city. Before going to bed, I read a book.

When mom and dad were at the weekend, we all visited the cinema. We visited many new cartoons and movies. Also my mother took me and her sister to a children's puppet theater. There we saw a funny and funny performance. And after the theater we went to a cafe. Mom bought us a great tasty ice cream with fruits and a milkshake.

Winter vacations are also the New Year. We celebrated the holiday with the whole family. In the evening, a large table was laid and the tree was decorated. At 12 o'clock we all went out into the street, where fireworks were launched and Bengal lights were lit. My parents even allowed me not to go to bed, and my sister and cousin were playing and having fun until the morning. We woke up the next day only at lunch, but under the tree we were already waiting for gifts. I know that these beautiful boxes were prepared for us by parents, but it was so nice to receive long-awaited gifts.

On Christmas we went to the village to our beloved grandmother, who fed us tasty buns and vareniki. In the village, we spent the whole day walking around, sledging and skiing.

My vacation was wonderful. I visited different places, walked up and just had a good rest!
