Составить краткий рассказ как празднуют новый год на английском

There are many public and bank holiday during the year, but my favourite one is certainly New Year. Each year on the 31st of December we see the old year off and the New Year in.

For most people its the start of something new, of the new page in their life. In this sense, Im not an exception. I know that English people create a list of New Year resolutions and I think its a good tradition. Each culture has its own unique way of celebrating this holiday.

As I live in Central Russia I can tell about the traditions and customs of my region. It is usually rather cold and snowy here at this time of the year. Starting approximately from the 25th of December we have two-week school holidays. My parents also have several days off to celebrate New Year and Christmas. All families put up fir- or pine-trees at their houses. We prefer to buy a pine-tree and richly decorate it.

On the New Years Eve my mother cooks special tasty dishes, including my favourite salad with corn and crab sticks. Its my fathers responsibility to prepare a chicken or turkey stuffed with rice.

On the 31st of December my grandparents visit us and all together we sit around the festive table. Sharp at midnight we listen to the Presidents speech and congratulations. Then we toast to the New Year and eat as much as we like.

In the morning I check whether Father Frost brought me presents. All the presents are usually placed under the New Year tree. The next few days we visit our close relatives and friends to wish them Happy New Year and to exchange presents.

Time flies quickly. In a few days its again time to go to school and to get back to daily routine.
