Ever since I was little, my favourite season was winter. I loved to play in the snow and enjoy the hot chocolate.

I __53__ the best time ever! Then I saw the white snow __54__ down all around. I was so excited that I ran a­round screaming(尖叫) and laughing. My friends all laughed ___55__ me, but I didn't care.

flake(冰晶雪花) with a card that __58__ , "Happy Birthday. "

How could this be? My grandpa said it was my grandmother's final __59_ on my "sweet six­teenth". I cried.
