My Country
My country Greece is very beautiful. I am sure it is the most
beautiful in the world.
It has everything: sea, mountains, countryside, islands and
especially sunshine.
Without sunshine you cannot really enjoy many of these
things.
Everyone likes the islands. There you can find a way of life
that belongs to the past.
If you go to a small island or one far away, you will find
peace and quiet.
It is something you do not find in modern cities.
The sea is warm and clean and many tourists come to my
country for the sun and the sea.
I like to swim in the sea from June to August. It is quite
warm during the summer months.
One problem in my country is that the people leave the
countryside to go and work in the
big cities, which means that the cities are full of people
and cars and are often polluted and noisy.
However, the people in my country are friendly and family
life is still very important to them.
I like travelling to other countries but
I am always glad to return to Greece.

Christmas
Christmas is a religious holiday. It is celebrated on the
25th of December all over
the Christian world. It is a time of love and happiness.
For days before Christmas the house smells of baking and
cooking, as we prepare
the food to offer to relatives and friends.
We spend many Saturdays shopping for presents but there
always seems to be
something we have forgotten and we have to go out on
Christmas Eve.
One or two days before Christmas, I buy a Christmas tree and
decorate it with coloured lights.
Christmas Day is very special. We have turkey for lunch and a
special sweet after that.
Then in the evening we all go round to a friend's house and
play games. I always get several
presents which I open in the morning.
The holidays pass very quickly and we spend all our time
visiting friends and eating the
delicious cakes and sweets prepared for us….., We go for a
drive in the car and sometimes
we go out for a meal. Everyone has fun and because there is
no school, we can stay
out as late as we like.
