My favourite celebration is New Year. We decorate the flat, dress up, exchange gifts. Mum cooks something special for dinner for the whole family. We like chicken with rice and vegetables. Dad buys a pineapple and oranges, and granny makes a special cake. December and January are cold months in our country. We don’t have street parades but we set off fireworks.
— How about eggs and sausages for breakfast? — That would be nice! I like sausages. Have we got any cheese? — Look in the fridge. — There is some. I like bread with butter and cheese. Make tea, please.
— Masha, go to the shop, please. — OK, mum. Let’s make a shopping list. — We haven’t got any cabbage and carrots for soup. And buy some tomatoes and onions. — Can I buy some biscuits? — Yes, buy some biscuits and bread.
My sister always has a party to celebrate her birthday. We decorate her room with balloons. Her friends bring her presents. Mum makes a birthday cake. I buy ice cream and strawberries. We sing, dance, and play games. It’s fun.
