ResponderEliminarI love holidays. The ones I like the most are Christmas because I love the cold
ResponderEliminarRocío Avellanedas Nocete
I'll get my next holidays in Christmas and I don't really know what I'm going to do so I need to think.
ResponderEliminarSurely, I'll go out with my friends and do a party or spend some time with my family. Like all years since I was a child my family and me celebrate "New Year" in my home and my whole family comes always.
The best part of Christmas is when my family give money or presents and, obviously, I give presents too.
If this year I win the lottery (that is impossible) I'll will buy to me lots of things and I'll save the most part of the money to the future.
In the first quarter the first holidays are those of Christmas, although before the holidays there are bridges, but they are not as long as the Christmas holidays, they are very short.
ResponderEliminarDuring Christmas if I have none left, I will spend an incredible vacation, I will go out with my friends, I will go to see the lights in Malaga and Granada, I will meet with my family.
Like every year on Christmas day and New Year's day I meet with my family and in the afternoon or at night I stay with my friends and we go out for a drink and to eat or go for a walk.
What I like most about Christmas is when my family gives me the gifts I have asked for and gives me money, and when I meet my family and we are all together.
If this year my family has the lottery, I will buy many things, such as clothes, shoes
What are my plans for my next holidays?
ResponderEliminarWell, in summer I would like to visit Granada's stadium. Because I'm of Granada and I love football.
Also, I would like to visit Cádiz, I have got family in Cádiz and I would like to visit them.
And I would like to visit Madrid again, Santiago Bernabéu's stadium, the wax museum because I love this type os museums.

The first holidays of the year are those of Christmas.
ResponderEliminarThey are what you have when the first quarter ends.
Christmas holidays are the shortest compared to the others like Easter and summer.
At Christmas you meet your family, they give you gifts, you go to many places.
For me, Christmas is the best holiday since the sites are adorned with lights ... but the bad thing is very short and it is very cold however my brothers prefer summer since they are the longest holidays, the days last longer and you can Go out more hours of the day with your friends.

ResponderEliminarThe next holdays I will get is Christmas, I like Christmas because it is when the family meets to eat different types of food and they talk to each other.
ResponderEliminarWhen I was a child I liked Christmas because I used to get a lot of presents from my family and because we used to decorate my house with garlands, and we decorated a tree with a lot of colourful ornaments, now I don´t get the same presents as before, but I still like decorating my house.
At Christmas I don´t know what I´ll do, but I want to go to see snow, because I have rarely seen snow, I have only seen the snow three times, the reason why I don´t see snow is because I lived all my live here near the coast,and I rarely go to Granada.
The only thing that I don´t like of Christmas is that this holidays are shortest than the summer holidays, they only last two weeks, but I prefer these holidays because it is colder than others and you can be very peaceful ay home.
If my family will wins the lottery, my mum says that she make a country house with a very beautiful garden, and she says that we will buy the things that we want. She really hopes that one year she´ll win the lottery and I hope her dream comes true.
Summer is my favourite seasons, is sunny hot .

ResponderEliminarWe have Christmas holidays in a month.
EliminarI hope to enjoy them a lot, as every year with the family in Granada, the songs, the dances, the meals, the games ...
It is a very important time for me because I remember these moments the rest of the year.
Every year, all the cousins of the family, we meet and compete in various activities. Last year the girls chose to skate on artificial ice, and the boys go karting.
I always do all the activities, and my mother makes shift changes at work to be with my brother and me.
It is time to share, rest, joy ... and although they are not very important people, we enjoy because they would like it.
I love cooking with my grandmother, she makes the best Christmas sweets in the world, and this year I have something to learn, she is going to teach me how to knit scarves.
This year we graduate from ESO, and we want to go on a trip to Portugal.
I am going to learn how to make scarves to the family and get extra money for the trip.

EliminarIt's Christmas right now and it's the next vacation we have, I really want them to arrive, since they are very nice dates because we spend them with the family and have a great time.
ResponderEliminarChristmas is a time for me to relax and be with the family, since we stop having classes, they are vacations, but we also have to continue doing things in the institute to move forward and have more time in the next quarter.
At Christmas we always meet our grandparents, titos, cousins ... and we eat or have dinner together and have a good time with family.
I hope that this Christmas is the same or better than last year, that I continue to meet with my family, continue having those laughs when we meet, continue to have those cooking times and all the things we usually do and especially what we do let's have a great time.
We are in December and that means that there are few weeks left for our Christmas holidays. Personally I am very excited because I love Christmas and I enjoying it a lot .
ResponderEliminarChristmas is a time to stay with the family , friends and people we love . It is a time to relax , have a good time and to diconnect from all our worries or work. Some people also like travelling in these dates because althought it is more expensive than traveling at other times of the year, they like it because cities are more beautiful with all the lights illuminating the streets, and even in some countries like Russia snows , so this makes the city look prettier.
I also like travelling and sometimes I do it . In my house we put the Christmas tree and in Spain we decorate our house with some decorations but for example in USA or UK they decorate their house a lot. On Christmas´Eve we make a special dinner , we listen some Christmas songs and children wait for their presents. Then it´s time to celebrate New Year ! Time to make purposes.
In conclusion , I love Christmas and I think it is the best time of the year.

ResponderEliminarChristmas is here!! It is the best time of the year to enjoy with the people around us, spend time with the family and friends and to be generous with people. And it is also a good time to travel and have a rest.
ResponderEliminarI like looking at Christmas decorations in the streets and people wishing happy Christmas. In my family we have many traditions. We put the Christmas tree in my house and my sisters and I decorate it. On Christmas Eve, my mum usually cooks a different and special dinner and we play Christmas carols in the background. We always light the fireplace.
When I was a child I used to make a big toy list, but now I make a list just with two or three things that I need. At Christmas I used to travel with my family. We love going on a little trip for three or four days. We visit Christmas markets and eat typical sweets like nougats and polvorones.
To sum up, Christmas is my favourite time of the year. It´s a magic and special time when you can spend time with your loved ones. I also like making some New Year´s resolutions for the next year!

ResponderEliminarThe summer holidays are already ending and the only thing I want is for Christmas to arrive, because that is when the whole family gets together, but this year it will be different due to Covid-19.
Although I like the Christmas holidays, the ones I like the most are the summer ones since they are longer, but on the other hand, Christmas holidays are given.
All the houses are also decorated, with the Christmas tree, lights outside the house and inside
Holidays is a great time, because you have time to do a lot of things that you can't do in the day by day. When some holiday period arrives, visiting my family is what I most like to do. I also like to do some sport and meet my friends if I have some time.
ResponderEliminarMy favorite holiday is Summer, because is the only time in the year where I can go to the beach and to the swimming pool. I love meeting my friends, because I don't have to go to school. I also love playing tennis at Summer because I play with my friends and I have a great time with them. The only thing I don't like about Summer is that sometimes is too hot and I start so sweat a lot. Apart of this, I think that's a great holiday.
Christmas is also one of my favorite holidays, because is the time of the year where I meet my family and have a great time all together. Every Christmas, my family and I go to a rural house in places where we have never been to, this is because we like to know new places around Spain where we have never been. I also like to meet my friends and do another sports like running or boxing. I also love Christmas because it's the coldest period of time of the year, and I like it, specially when we light the chimney.
In fact, I think that holidays are great because you can have a little rest and you can do things that you like to do and you can't do in your daily routine.

EliminarHolidays is a great time, because you have time to do a lot of different things that you can't do in the day by day. It's a period of time in that you can meet with yours friends or family, it's a period in that you can relax then of the course and the classes, although we always have to do of english, as say my english teacher you can to take advantage to advance works, readings...
ResponderEliminarMy favourtite holidays is Summer, because is the only time in the year where I can go to the beach or swimming pool. I love meetings with my friends and family, and relaxing in my cottage, other things for that is the best period for me is, because is the largest time of holidays. I love plays football with my cousins in my cottage and stay with them in my swimming pool or in the beach.
Christmas is also one of my favorite holidays, because is the time of the year in that i can meet with all of my family. For example in the night of (Nochebuena) I meet with my family of part of my mother and we have the traditions that One of my uncles or my father dress up to give a surprise to the little children of my family and take them some presents, and in the last night of the year I meet with my family of part of my father and we meet in the cottage of my cousin and we pass here all the night dancing and passing good.
In resume, I think that holidays are great because you can do the things that you can't do in the routine of the day.
I am looking forward to the holidays to go out with friends, go to my pool and go on vacation to other cities. Every summer we go to Cazorla and we are there in a camping for 2 weeks. Last year we went to Cádiz to visit my family, this year I would like to go again, but I don't know if we can because of Covid-19. There is almost only the third quarter left for the summer.

The economy and the army of china is dangerous. The product from china is of poor quality, but very inexpensive, we should buy product from Europe or United States. There are 1100 millions habitants in china now. In their job they are slave for a little of money and China isn't a democracy, it's a dictatorship, be careful, they have got nuclear missiles.

The new protest in China for the strict confinements and the strict restrictions for the coronavirus demonstrated that the people are very tired and angry for the restrictions. The people are protesting as never do, in this protest the people also protest against the regime of Chinese communist party and against the actual president Xi Jimping. The politic of covid cero is tiring the people in China. For moment the government intend stop with a lot of police in the street.

I usually didn't travel during summer, sometimes I went with my family to Almería or somewhere near Granada, although one summer we went to the Canary Islands, because our family and I used to spend every summer in Lanjarón in my grandfather’s cottage with a swimming pool so we usually travel in September or maybe in Christmas. But although I always really enjoy my summers.
ResponderEliminarHowever, this year will be different. This summer I will travel to Pontevedra, in Galicia and the north of Portugal. I have been admitted to a camp called “Ruta Quetzal” and I will be during 14 days. I still don’t believe that, because only 200 teenagers from all of Spain have been selected to take part in that. We will hike following the route of the headlights, we will walk “el camino de Santiago”, we will move on a kayak, ship… So we will have to sleep on the street in a tent without technologic, without bathrooms… only nature. About the route, I’m very curious because it’s a little surprise so we don’t know what we will visit exactly. Also, I am very excited because thanks to the Internet the selected ones have done a group of Whatsapp and we had had the opportunity to know us before the experience, I’m really excited to meet them. Even the people from Madrid met last week and that was awesome, what a pity that in Granada we are only 3 and it’s more difficult to meet us.
The rest of the summer, I don´t really know what I will do because maybe I will Soria but this is not sure yet. But I am sure that I will spend my summer in Lanjarón, with my family and friends. In summer my friends and I usually to do different plans like going to our cottage, going to the swimming pool or the beach… but our favorites are when we go on a picnic or when we go to an “alberca” typic of Lanjarón where so many teenagers go to bath. Also, we love when we travel with the city hall to the water park “Aqua Tropic” or when we travel to the beach all together. We are wishing that summer arrives, we love it!
