    Children all like to play with snow at Christmas. But the climate(气候)is changing quickly. The weather in winters is getting warmer and warmer. And it doesn't snow in some places in southern England. Sometimes it's hard for children there to have a white Christmas. Many children want to have snow to play with.

    But the children in a hospice(收容所)get a big surprise. They have a white Christmas. A rich man called Chris Hopkins bought 10,000 kilos of snow on the Internet for them.

    Mr Hopkins said, "The children here are unhappy. They are too young but they have no father or mother to look after them. All children enjoy Christmas with snow and presents. I feel very happy when I find the snow brings smiles to their faces.

    It's Saturday today. It's a sunny day. John and Janet want to go to the cinema. Janet looks at her watch. "Oops! The film starts in twelve minutes.  We'll be late. We need eighteen minutes to get there. Let's run!"

     "Don't worry, Janet. I know a short cut," says John. Then John takes her a different way. They walk through the garden and out of the front gate. Suddenly they are beside the cinema. Janet looks at her watch. "I can't believe it. We have two minutes left. Thank you, John!"

    After autumn, winter is coming. It's very cold and snowy. The days are short and the nights are long. We have much time to sleep. I like this season very much, because I like snow. We can make snowmen and have snowball fights together. It is very interesting. Look! It is snowing outside. All the students are very excited. Some boys are making snowballs. David's snowball is bigger. Jim's snowball is smaller. So David wins the fights. He is very happy.
