What is your favorite time of year? Why?

My favorite time of the year is naturally the time when I
have the most fun. To me, that time of the year falls during
the December holidays, or rather, it starts during the last
term of school.

It may sound strange of me to include the period of
examinations. But I like the way teachers leave us,
students, by ourselves to do our own revision. There is
hardly any homework to be done but there is a lot of
studying to take up our time. Finally, when the
examinations are over, we can all heave a joyful sigh of
relief and look forward to the seemingly eternal holidays
stretching out before us. Just before school breaks up for
the holidays, there are a host of post-examination
activities, among which is mass dancing in the school hall.
This is something I enjoy very much as I get to dance to
the newest pop music with all my friends. The opportunity
to “break-free” from serious activities of school and to sing
and dance there is a truly welcome event.

The last day of school comes and goes and the holidays
start. The first thing I do is to go to the library and borrow
as many books as possible to fill my holidays. I simply love
reading book after book without having to worry about
putting aside time for schoolwork. I make it a habit to read
books of a particular author each holiday.

Within the second week of the holidays my birthday
arrives, I enjoy helping my mother prepare my favorite

food for my birthday. I do not have big birthday parties. My
birthday is celebrated within the family and I eat all my
favorite food, with several helpings. Of course, I enjoy
receiving presents and birthday cards from family
members and friends.

December is cool in Singapore and that is one reason why
I appreciate the month so much. I do not like hot sunny.

Christmas also makes the season all the more exciting. It
would be impossible for me to sit at home and just read
when so much is going on outside. Therefore, my friends
and I take trips to Orchard Road, adding to the hustle and
bustle of Christmas shopping. We do not buy anything but
just window shop leisurely and watch the excitement of
Christmas shoppers. Orchard Road is illuminated with
colorful lights for Christmas. I usually view these lights
twice; once before Christmas and once after, sometimes
cruising along Orchard Road with my neighbor’s family in
a rented van, alongside an ordered mass of other slow-
moving vehicles. We usually have a good time on these
trips, joking and laughing.

Programs based on Christmas are also shown on
television to add more joy to the season. I never tire of
watching the animated cartoons or motion pictures of
classics like “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens.

Finally, after Christmas, I have to start buying my school-
books for the new academic year. These books have “off

the press” smell which makes me feel that I have to work
hard the following year and make good use of these brand
new and precious books which no one has ever used
before.

The last day of the holidays is the end of my favorite time
of the year and school starts the following day. I fell
excited, but I also know that once school starts I would be
caught up with work. However, I do know that the days will
fly by so fast that I shall experience my favorite time of the
year all over again.
