Wow ! Got to go back to school… ! I had such great Christmas holidays , two weeks but I am so tired still !! My name is Laura, I am fifteen and I live in a flat on Central Park, New york As you can imagine New york is really gorgeous at Christmas with all the street lights, the giant tree at the Rockfeller center I went ice skating there We did all our Christmas shopping just a few days before the D- day , because Mum and Dad work a lot as lawyers But anyway we invited my four grandparents , my uncle Steve, my aunt Stella, my cousins Dave and Julia , so this made twelve people with my older brother Brad.We ate a lot maybe too much but Mum is a real good cook when she takes the time and it was such great fun being all together ! After we gave each other presents, I got an Ipad and nice clothes , my brother got some money to help him pay the trip to France he has planned for next summer As for New Year’s Eve, we all went to different parties.Apart from this , we had some nice walks together in Central Park, we visited the latest Monet exhibition at MOMA I mustn’t forget that we gave a hand several times to the Salvation Army to give food to some of the homeless people living in the park, I know we are priviledged Well I also went window shopping with my friend Leila, we listened to some great new groups and watched a lot of DVDs,so we had a real great time answer the questions What is the name of girl speaking ? - Where does she live ? -3 What period is she talking about ? -4 What are her parents jobs ? -5 How many people were there ? -6 What presents did she get ? -7 Where did she go ice skating ?
