The winter holidays essay is written in the past simple, because the holiday is over, with the past continuous for the background — it was snowing all week. That contrast is most of what a teacher is looking for.
The content is easier than students expect. What you did, who you were with, one thing that went wrong or surprised you, and how you felt when it ended. A single specific detail — a sledge that broke, a cake that came out flat — is worth more than three sentences saying the holidays were nice.
