  Today I met Poppy a  helpless woman in black clothes.She was standing very shy behind a tree. She was asking for some food to take to her two boys.I  asked her what was wrong and she told me all her story.She was coming from a faraway place of the city.She told me that her husband was in jail for drugs.

She lost her job.She used to take care an old man but the man died.As you can understand without job and responsible for two twin boys.In winter she had a job and her children could eat lunch at school.Now she didn't have anything.

She had tears in her eyes and told the bitter truth that she was so sad ,afraid and shy.She was also sick .

Some people in church gave her some money but they are not enough.She had food for only a few days.Yesterday they had only spaghetti. I felt so sorry and compassionate that I gave the bread and biscuits I bought for me.I took her mobile phone number and promised maybe I could help her.

I  can't forget this woman in real need.

I  wish  God help her in some way to find comfort and piece.

There's a lot of white in my room. It's my favourite colour and I like it here because it makes the room very warm. I've got a white sofa, and white spot lights, a white blind which makes the room  very cosy. I've also got white supports for my books shelves so it takes up the same colour scheme again. 

There's also a cushion  the same white colour again which is my mother's present. I like it very much. This  cushion echoes my rug which I think it's the central think in the room. 

It's so beautiful with diagonal patterns,zig-zags and circles.

There's a lot of wood in the room as well.There's a desk in the corner where I study a lot and a table. It has an octagonal shape.It's a folding table which suits the small room.

What about your room? Would you like to describe it?

   Either it was a difficult or an easy year for  you there must be something more you would like to hope and change in your life.

Maybe you would like a new trusty friend to share things with 

him or her.

Even if you have a job you dream about a better one in a better environment and higher salary.

If something is wrong in your married life you want something to change in your relationship.

Always wish for health in sickness and want to do everything for it.

And those who live alone wish to find a nice loving partner

to care for.

Happy wishes for Christmas and a  creative new year.

           My house

  My house has many rooms

  with windows that catch the sun.

  Outside the house are trees and grass

  where I can jump and run.

  I stand  near my mother in the kitchen

  and watch her make a cake.

  If   I watch her well,

  then I will learn to bake.

  My father  has a room with tools

  that I can sometimes  use.

  Saws and hammers, nails and string-

  my father lets me choose.

   But all of the rooms inside my house,

   my room's the best by far.

   I have  books and planes and cars and trains

  and  marbles in a jar.

How many rooms are there in the house?

Are there trees near the house?

A long time ago, so the story goes, a young boy called Arthur became the King of England after he pulled a sword out of a stone.

The sword was Excalibur. It had a lot of  power. The lady of the Lake gave it to King Uther but asked him to give her his first born child.Uther became powerful. When  his first  child  was born , Merlin the magician came to take the baby. Uther tried to stop him but thieves attacked him.Before he died , he put Excalibur into a stone and asked Merlin to make his son a king.Merlin promised that only someone with a pure heart could pull it out and become the next King of England.

When Arthur pulled the sword out people were  surprised.

Merlin explained that Arthur was Uther's  son and the people were happy.

Arthur was a good king.He built a big castle, Camelot and ruled over England with his knights. He called them the knights of the round Table.Together they made England a strong country.

Can you explain the words?

pull out ,give become, attack, die, put , promise, explain, build, rule, call, make

Next are you able to tell the legend of King Arthur?
