It is nearly Christmas! What are your plans for the coming holiday?
You’re right. Time flies really fast. I guess I will go to my grandparents’ house in the countryside with my parents. How about you?

I will just stay at home with my family. I will help my mom cook for our holiday feast.
Wow. That would be great. I will also help my grandparents prepare some food. We will cook some pasta for the whole family.

That is awesome. I really love holidays because we can have a great time with our folks.
Absolutely! That’s the only time we have throughout the year, so let us make the most out of it.
