 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!  www.english0905.com

 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.
