1. Read the text below.

The winter is coming. It is my favorite season of the year, because of the Christmas spirit. I like the
Christmas lights and the carols, especially the American ones; they are very happy and spontaneous and
the singers really enjoy what they’re doing. Also, I like to buy presents for my friends and family, even if
I spend a lot of money on them, I simply like the idea of making someone happy.

The weather is cold, windy and, usually, moist, but the snow is always a pleasure to look at. Even if the
town is dirty and unfriendly during this period of the year, the snow cheers it up a little bit. Because of the
bad weather, I have to wear gloves, a jacket, a scarf, a hat and boots. When the snow is big enough I like
to watch the snowflakes falling, to build a snowman or to play with the snow balls.

Christmas is my favorite holiday. During this celebration, I usually eat stuffed cabbage and polenta,
different dishes made of pork, roast, fruit salad, cakes and sweets.
