Holidays

Henry liked Spring Holidays, because he liked the weather and St. Patrick’s Day. In that day people wear green. Easter was a good holiday, too. You could see the Easter Rabbit, hunt for eggs and find candy. 

Sandra liked Summer Holidays, like Independence Day. She always went to the air show to see airplanes. In the evening they’d shoot off fireworks. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day were usually in the summer, too. 

Judith loved Fall holidays most. Sweetest Day wasn’t that popular, but it was a nice day and sometimes she got candy. Halloween was such a great time. Thanksgiving was just a few weeks later. Between Halloween’s candy and Thanksgiving’s turkey was the best food season of the year. 

Winter holidays were Thomas’ favourites. Christmas was a great time to be with family. New Year was exciting, because everyone stayed up late and cheered when the year changed, and there were often fireworks.

Task 2 Read the short texts about fantasy creatures. Прочтите короткие тексты о фантастических существах.


There are lots of stories about fantasy animals. Here is some information about four famous fantasy animals. 

Unicorns were beautiful creatures like horses. They had a long pointed horn in the middle of their foreheads. Unicorns were a sign of good luck, but only honest people could see them. 

Centaurs were wild creatures. They were half-man, half-horse. Most centaurs were soldiers but one centaur was different. His name was Chiron. He was a famous teacher. When he died he changed into a star called Sagittarius. 

Chinese dragons were good, friendly and intelligent. They were made from the parts of nine animals: a snake’s body, a fish’s scales, a clam’s stomach, a tiger’s feet, an eagle’s claws, a camel’s face, a deer’s antlers, a cow’s ears and golden eyes. 

Griffins were very strong creatures. They had a lion’s body and an eagle’s head and wings. They were the kings of all the animals and birds.
