                   Every year we have a snow festival. It’s in                                                                                                                       your culture?

                February, in the winter. This year the festival was
                fantastic. There was a lot to do, and we had so
                much fun.

                   I went to the festival with my brother and

                sister. It was very cold! I wore a snowsuit, boots,
                gloves, and a hat. We saw some beautiful snow
                sculptures. My favorite was a sculpture of two

                big dinosaurs. They looked so real and so scary!

                   We played on the snow slides and in a snow maze, too! In the
                evening, we listened to music, ate steamed buns, and drank hot
                tea to get warm.
