my favorite childhood memory

My favorite childhood memory is my sister's and brother's birth. When I was 4 years old my mother was pregnant for twins a girl and a boy. So I was so happy when I heard that best news ever in my life. And I was helping my mom and every time I was with her. And one day I woke up at 5 o'clock in the morning and I so my aunt , because my mom was in the hospital. The next morning I went to hospital too with my aunts and grandparants. My brother and sister were born. I saw them first time in the window and I was very happy. After that I stayed with my mom in the hospital. I slept with her and I at with her. After a week we went home with our newborn babies. We had so many guests and everyone took  presents for them and no one looked at me , but anyway I was so happy and I didn't understand that they ar newborns so they are babies at our family. I played with them and I stayed with them all day. 

My favorite festival

 I think Vartavar  is the largest and most beautiful festival in the world also one of the few ancient Armenian festivals that is survived until present.  On this day people of all ages drench each other with water.  It is common to see people pouring buckets of water from balconies on unsuspecting people walking below them. The festival is very popular among children as it is one day where they can get away with pulling pranks. It is also a means of refreshment on the usually hot and dry summer days of July .If you opt to go out, you will be seriously drenched. Random people pouring buckets of water on each other, kids with bottles of water and water guns roaming the streets dousing complete strangers! Yerevan is the happiest city in the world during Vartavar. Make sure to keep your cell phone and your wallet in a plastic bag, because by the time you get back to the home you will be completely drenched.

my favorite festival

My favorite holiday is Christmas. It celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. It is an important festival in theWest. I love this festival because it brings a long holiday to us to enjoy ourselves. Every year before Christmas, my family and I buy some presents for relatives and friends. We decorate our house with a lot of festive decorations. We put up a Christmas tree in the living room and we decorate the tree with little angels, many beautiful bells and some little Santa Clauses. We also place a big star on top of the tree. On Christmas Eve, my brother and I put stockings beside our beds, and my parents secretly put some gifts inside the stockings. I will also put gifts secretly under the pillows of my parents to surprise them. During Christmas time, we have Christmas parties. I have parties with my family, relatives and friends. We prepare a lot of foods. At the parties, I give Christmas cards to everyone and we exchange gifts with each other. Together we sing Christmas carols. Christmas is fun. I love this holiday very much.

Barbara's Noisy Neighbor 

Barbara couldn't take it any more. Her upstairs neighbor was blasting his stereo again. She had asked him twice already to turn the volume down. The first time she asked, he was surprised. He said he didn't know that she could hear his stereo.

"Yes," she said, "it's just like your stereo was in my living room. I can hear every note!"

He said he would keep it down. She hoped that he was telling the truth. Of course, he wasn't. The very next day, he blasted his stereo. She marched upstairs to remind him of his promise. He said the volume was so low that he could barely hear it. She asked him to turn it lower. He said he would try. Barbara could swear that when she reentered her apartment, the music was louder than when she had walked upstairs.

So, this was the third time. She took her baseball bat upstairs with her. She knocked very loudly on his door. When he opened the door, she screamed at him like a crazy person. She told him she would kill him if he didn't turn the music down and keep it down. His eyes got big.

She went back downstairs. She couldn't hear a note.

I can't believe I said that, she told herself.

What would you do if you were in Barbara's situation?
