Hello! My name is Maggie. I'm ten years old. I come from Australia. Australia is the largest island in the world. It is a little smaller than China. It is in the south of the earth. Australia is big, but its population is small. The population of it is nearly as large as that of Shanghai. I live in Sydney, Australia. I love this city. It's clean and beautiful. There are four seasons in Sydney. I like summer best because I can go swimming and surfing on the beach. Christmas is also in summer. You know? It's strange. We have a holiday for Christmas．On Christmas Day, my father drives us to the beach. I like to surf in the sea. My sister likes to make sandcastles and my brother likes to play balls with our dog．My parents like to hide the presents in the sand. We have to find our presents. It's really fun.

    The Chinese New Year is a very important holiday for the Chinese people. It falls on a different date each year and lasts 15 days. Days before the New Year, every family is busy giving its house a thorough cleaning. ~They decorate the doors and windows with paper-cuts and put lanterns around their houses. On the Eve, all the family members come together to have a big dinner. It is a feast. After dinner, it is time for the whole family to sit up for the night. They play card games or watch TV programs. Next morning, people all dress in their best clothes. Children greet their parents or grandparents and get their gifts of money in red envelops. Then the family start out to say greetings from door to door.

    I'm Jack. I'm from Canada. But now I'm studying in China.  I'm going to do many things in the winter holiday. First, I'm going to do my homework. Then I'm going to take a trip. I'm going to Harbin. There is snow everywhere. I can ski. My parents are going with me. We are going to take a plane. We're going to have a nice trip.
