Gulliver was born in the large family of a farmer. At school the boy learned well, so his father sent him to the university, for three years.  When the young man left the university, he worked with a doctor and learned the doctor's profession. Gulliver decided to learn navigation, too. After four years he began to work on the ship as a ship’s doctor. One day, when the ship was at the  sea for a long
time, there was a great storm. The ship broke to  pieces and only six people got into a small boat.  The men were
tired and couldn’t find  water. Soon the boat turned over and the men were in the water. Five of them were drowned.
But Gulliver swam well, and when he saw the  shore, he swam to it. He got out of the water and slept on the shore
for  many hours. When Gulliver woke up, he found that he was in a country where very, very small people lived. The name of the country was Lilliput. The little people were afraid of the Man — Mountain, as they named Gulliver. When they saw that Gulliver was a kind man, they let him go free. Gulliver lived in the
country for two years and then came back to England.

I can say that winter is my favourite season of the year. First of all, I really enjoy the crisp snow outside. Together with my friends we always make a snowman, throw snowballs at each other and go sledging from the backyard hill. Secondly, I’m quite good at such winter sports as skiing and skating. At weekends, I go to the nearest ice-rink with my friends and we can spend several hours skating there. As for skiing, I usually do it with my father. He is also fond of skiing in the woods, which are not far from our house. So you can imagine how much I like winter holidays. It’s a shame that they aren’t as long as the summer ones. They last only for a couple of weeks. Another important reason why I love winter holidays is the celebration of Christmas and New Year. These holidays are my favourite. Even my birthday doesn’t matter as much for me as Christmas Eve. I love the moment when all the stores and cafes outside start hanging festive decorations on doors and windows. It elevates my mood and makes me really happy. Besides you can hear Christmas songs from every corner. It also sets the atmosphere of holidays. Of course, I also like the New Year presents that my parents and friends prepare for me. But most of all I like the moment on the 31st of December when the clocks strike 12 am and all the family gathers together around the dining table. We then share delicious meal and drinks. My favourite ones are stuffed turkey and sweet pudding. Right after the New Year celebration our school holidays start and it’s the time when I can relax and enjoy myself.
