Christ child Market is a pleasant festival for children in Kitchener, Canada. My husband, my daughter and I attended    1     this year.

As we walked through Victoria Park, I breathed in the fresh smell of winter. The bare branches of the trees were shining with Christmas lights    2    the new-fallen snow. In the open areas were children, parents, grandparents and their relatives,    3    smiling as they held their can dies in their hands and waited     4    (patience) for the magic event to begin.

As we joined the crowds, we quickly forgot about that COM, for I saw the excitement of the children and the     5    (welcome) smiles of the people around me. Soon the crowd moved to Kitchener City Hall. In the distance we could see all the officials     6     (wait) for us. At the center of the square, the summertime fountain had turned to ice,     7     young children were playing about.

    8    the crowds walking into the square, the opening ceremony began: songs, dances and    9    performances. Then the Christmas lights on the Christmas tree were turned    10    , causing everyone to cheer with delight. Christ child Market officially opened!
