Descriptive Paragraph fireworks.jpeg


A New Years party in Colombia is very exiting. It all begins when everyone arrives at the host’s house. There’s tables full of chips and drinks in the kitchen. Outside, there’s plastic chairs set up in a half circle, facing the grill. As midnight comes closer, everyone begins to countdown, like a synchronized choir. When the clock turns to midnight, their faces are full of joy as they hug and wish each other a Happy New Year. The fireworks illuminate the night sky beautiful figures and explosions that seem to last forever, they make so much noise that all you can do is look and point. When they stop, the sky is suddenly dark and all you can see are the stars in the distance, when everyone begins to leave, you see the sun peeking out, painting the sky a soft shade of yellow. That’s a New Years party in Colombia.

Persuasive Paragraph


New Years is better in Colombia than in Canada. In Colombia we always make lots of noise and some parties don’t end until after the sun has come up. Then there’s the climate in Colombia around New Years time its summer so we always have a grill ready for the big day. Everyone wears summer clothes and we get to spend the hole night outside watching the stars after the amazing fireworks, but in Canada it too cold to do any of that. Finally when your going home by foot or by car you can see the streets filled with people some cleaning up getting ready to leave and others not ready to stop, by the time you go to bed you can still hear the music in the distance. That’s why I believe that New Years is better in Colombia than in Canada.

Narrative Paragraph


I love New Years with my family, I can remember running from house to house getting everything ready for the big night. When we get to the host’s house, everyone is doing something I always volunteer to pick up the stuff that other people forget at their house. That way, I feel like I’m helping, plus I get to see what other people from other families are doing. At about 11pm, we all start to eat. There’s always something on the grill ready to be served. By midnight everyone is full and ready to begin the countdown. It’s always fun to hear everyone countdown. I can hear the excitement in their voices and their happiness that a new year is about to begin. I sit and listen to stories and bad jokes that make everyone laugh. When we leave, I like to walk back home, even if I’m exhausted. It’s fun to watch the streets filled with people who aren’t ready to stop the party. I like seeing their smiling face. It fills me with joy that a new year has begun.
