Reading Comprehension A1

Winter weather in my country

Hil I'm Sonya Lampson and I'm thirteen years old. I live in Quebec with my parents, two little brothers, Peter and Mike, and a clever dog Blacky. We are very friendly.

The city we live in is beautiful. In winter it often snows and the streets and houses are covered with snow. The temperature often falls more than thirty degrees below zero. When the temperature is lower than thirty-five degrees below zero we don't go to school. The frost bites our cheeks. It is very, very cold! Sometimes there are heavy snowstorms and you can't see anything. There are often very cold winds and it is difficult to stay in the streets for a long time. That's why we wear warm coats, woolen hats, mittens, leather boots, and scarves not to freeze.

But I like winter when the weather it isn't very cold. Then we go outdoors, make snowmen, play snowballs, ski, skate or snowboard. My brothers like to sledge from the hill. As for me, I adore figure skating.

But sometimes I envy people living in warm countries.
