Read the letter below. What is Sandy’s favorite holiday?

Dear Alex,

In your letter you asked me about my favorite holiday. Actually , I like lots of them, but my favorite one is Easter.

Every time we celebrate it, I think that we meet spring! I love to get presents in the form of an Easter egg and give souvenirs to my nearest and dearest. Sometimes my mum and dad hide eggs about the house and my brother and I have great fun to find them. We also like egg-rolling and egg-shackling .

I’ve never been to the Easter Parade in Battersea Park, London. But my mum promised to go there this year on Easter Sunday.

How do you celebrate Easter? Do you play any Easter games?

Best regards, Sandy
