My name is Linda. I am the youngest child in our family. My elder sister Inna is my best friend. She is a pretty young woman of 28 years old. I like her because she is very helpful. I can always ask her to help me with my homework. She is busy 5 days a week. She works in our local supermarket. Inna is a good cook. When we are at home she always cooks something tasty and unusual.
We like to go shopping together. We buy brown bread and buns at the baker’s. Sometimes we buy bread rolls to make hamburgers for our Sunday picnics. Linda likes to buy cheese and butter at the dairy. We never buy milk there, because the milkman always brings some bottles of milk to our house in the morning.
I think the best place to do the shopping is a supermarket where my sister works. It’s a good place to save time and money and have fun.
There is a tradition in our family to gather all the relatives on Christmas Day. So we prepare to it. We buy much food and presents for everyone. Mum and Inna make Christmas pudding and turkey. I help them to clean the house and buy presents. I also have to decorate the Christmas Tree. I love it very much.
