Question

Gregory is my brother. He is eight years old and I am ten. We always look forward to the first big snow of the year. We have a snow day from school.

On a snow day, Mom often makes hot dogs for us and we bake cakes. It is always something special when we have the first snow. Mom likes to make vegetable soup for us to eat. She says it helps to keep us warm when we play in the snow.

Gregory and I go outside early in the morning. We bundle up so we can stay warm. The first thing we do is to make snow angels (天使). Then we slide down the hill on boxes with our neighbours. Finally, we spend the whole afternoon making our first snowman of the year.

The snowman is right out there in our front yard (院子). Mr Bowman is our neighbour across the street. He gives us an old black hat for the snowman to wear. Mom gives us a green scarf to put around the snowman’s neck. We use sticks from the yard to make the arms. And we also use coal for the snowman’s eyes and mouth and a carrot for his nose.

Mom always takes our picture with the snowman. Gregory is fun to play with when it snows. He is a good brother most of the time.
