My name is Peter. I live in the countryside, in a cottage which is over 100 years old. The cottage is near a small village. I love living here because it's calm. There aren't many cars or busses, the streets are clean. You can go for a walk because there isn't any violence. You can even leave your doors open, nobody will steal anything. We know all the neighbours and at the end of the day, people get together at the main square and chat. We go to bed early, as there isn't much to do in the evening. There isn't any disco, theater or cinema. We also don't have a museum or a youth club. However the children can play in the streets or in the fields and they can have animals. You can sleep very well because there is no noise. You can hear the birds singing or the rain pouring. The air is pure and cool and you can see millions of stars. It is a bit difficult in winter. Sometimes it snows a lot and then we are isolated for a few days. Despite this I like living in the countryside. ответе на вопросы: 1What is the name of the place? 2Where is it situated? 3Describe this place (what can we see there, why is it the natural wonder….) 4What can people do there

Winter holidays are shorter than summer ones. They begin at the end of December and last about two weeks. It is so nice to have a rest from school.During winter holidays we celebrate the New Year’s Eve and Christmas. There are New Year parties for children at schools and theatres. Cinemas show children films and cartoons.It is usually very cold in winter, but frost and snow can’t keep children indoors. It’s so great to go skiing down a hill. Boys like to play hockey on the ice. Many children go to the skating-rinks to skate. Small children play snowballs and make snowmen, or ride on the sledges happily.When the weather is bad, I stay at home and watch TV. There is always something interesting on during winter holidays. Sometimes my friends come to see me and we play computer games or listen to music. There is also more time for reading, drawing, making model planes and other hobbies.Holidays pass quickly and soon it’s time to go to school again.

Зимние каникулы короче, чем летние. Они начинаются в конце декабря и продолжаются около двух недель. Это так приятно отдохнуть от школы.Во время зимних каникул мы празднуем Новый год и Рождество. В школах и театрах проходят новогодние елки для детей. Кинотеатры показывают детям и мультипликационные фильмы.Зимой обычно очень холодной, но мороз и снег не может держать детей в помещении. Ведь это так здорово покататься на горных лыжах. Мальчики любят играть в хоккей на льду. Многие дети ходят на катки кататься на коньках. Маленькие дети играют в снежки и лепят снеговиков или весело катаются на санях.Когда погода плохая, я сижу дома и смотрю телевизор. Во время зимних каникул всегда показывают что-то интересное. Иногда мои друзья приходят ко мне и мы играем в компьютерные игры или слушаем музыку. Существует также больше времени для чтения, рисования, изготовления моделей самолетов и других увлечений.Каникулы проходят быстро и скоро пора идти в школу.
