My grand vacation

- G. K. Sri Saubhagya (14 years) Willesden College Int.

The April holidays last year were fun. No books to study and we were free from term tests. After getting our holidays I put all my books neatly into my cupboards and cleaned my table. The day after the parents’ meeting, I woke up early and went down to see what there was to do. started to clean the house. You see it was April – that means ‘New Year’. We removed the cobwebs and washed the house from top to bottom. I folded all the clothes and cleaned the cupboards. The next day we got ready to go shopping. First we brought the pots and went to buy new clothes. The colour last year was blue so we had to select blue colour clothes. My mother and I went to buy the sweets. I was so excited and there was only one more day for the 13th and I was bubbling with excitement. I couldn’t wait. The nonagethe period was at 1.49. The Avurudu Udawa was at 8.13. lit the stove. At 11.30 we dressed in our blue dresses and arranged the table with sweets and milkrice. At 11.53 we ate. Neighbours and relatives visited us and we visited them. Avurudu playing and having fun. Then I returned to start studying. I wrote many essays to the paper and also sent arts. I got ready for the third semester of Grade Seven. I enjoyed myself till school was to start. I put cover on my books and spent the rest of the days playing and studying. I enjoyed the vacation very much.
