« During the holidays, Mike went to Paris whereas I stayed home. He celebrated The New Year but I didn’t. I went to the
cinema, I watched Skyfall and Twilight, it was great ! Mike went to the ice-rink but I didn ‘t go because I don’t like it ! I saw
my family but Mike didn’t. I also read a good book : Harry Potter, it’s my favourite book ! I had good holidays ! »
