原文+答案解析

022.
Christmas is coming soon. The radio station is playing Christmas music, and the stores are all very busy. People are doing their Christmas shooping. Many families have Christmas trees in their homes already. We are going to buy our tree a few days before Christmas.
At this time of the year we make or buy presents for our families. I am going to buy a record for my elder brother. He listens to music all the time. I am going to make a toy for my little brother.
Our family are usually together on Christmas Day. My elder brother lives in another town, but he always drives his car here. Last year, however, he didn't come because it was snowing very hard and the roads were too dangerous. We all felt sad.
I hope we are going to be together again this year. My elder brother is going to arrive before Christmas Eve. Then we are going to put up the tree in the living room, and we are going to put the presents under the tree. We won't open them until Christmas morning.
Do you celebrate Christmas in your country? Write soon.

Your friend,
Anna
