Hi ! I’m Dean. I’m from England. My favorite time of the year is Christmas, which is on 25 December. That’s when Christians celebrate the birth of the Christ. In the middle of December we send a lot of cards to our friends and family, here and abroad. Then we get a big tree and decorate it with lights and other things. On Christmas Day, we give each other presents. We have one enormous meal with turkey, and after that, we have Christmas pudding.

Last December our English teacher , Mrs. Taylor, took us to Yorkshire on a school trip. We left Liverpool at 8.00 a.m on Saturday morning and finally arrived in York at 11.00 a.m. Then it started to rain. We woke up early on Sunday morning and looked outside. There was water everywhere. We went downstairs for breakfast, but the kitchen in the hostel was flooded. Sunday afternoon was terrible too. Two girls hired bikes and rode into the center of the city. But what did they do? They stole some sweets from a shop. So then the police came! Mrs. Taylor was furious! We returned to Liverpool on Sunday evening . We were cold, wet and tired. Never again!
