Краткий пересказ home after somerset maugham

The farm lay in a hollow among the Somersetshire hills, an old-fashioned stone house, surrounded by barns and outhouses. Over the doorway the date when it was built had been carved, 1673, and the house, grey and weather-beaten, looked as much a part of the landscape as the trees that surrounded it. An avenue of splendid elms led from the road to the garden. The people who lived here were as stolid, sturdy and unpretentious as the house. Their only boast was that ever since the house was built from father to son they had been  
born and died in it. For three hundred years they had farmed the surrounding land.
      George Meadows was now a man of fifty, and his wife was a year or two younger. They were both fine, upstanding people in the prime of life; and their children, two sons and three girls, were handsome and strong. I have never seen a more united family. They were merry, industrious and kindly. Their life was patriarchal. They were happy and they deserved their happiness.

Hello, (имя друга)!

I haven't written you for a long time, sorry! Now I'm writing to you, because I wanna tell you how do I spend the New Year.
It's the most favourite holiday of mine! Everything on the streets is covered with thick snow, and also I have winter vacation. On the 29th of Dec. me and my family always decorate the Christmas Tree! It's all in bright lights and fantastic balls and toys. Looks great! Then I'm helping my Mom to cook pasta and a turkey, some salad and fruits, while dad is decorating the house.
On the 31th we gather all together and giving the presents to each other. It's literally the best moment! After having a holiday dinner, we all come out on the streets and watch fireworks in the sky!
And how do you spend the New Year with your family! What presents do you want to buy them this year?
Write me soon,
With love and best greetings,
