NEW YEAR TRADITIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD
The English New Year in the report of Jane:
«In England there is an old tradition - letting the Old Year out. Now the clock is striking twelve, our father is going to the front door, is opening it, and is holding it until the last stroke of midnight. Now he is shutting the door and comes back to the family. The Old Year is out and we are waiting for the New Year. The other our popular tradition – making New Year's resolutions' — they are promises for the New Year. For example: «This year I am going to do exercises every morning, to be nice to my little sister and to go to the swimming pool every day». Of course, people, especially children, don’t always keep their resolutions».
The Japanese New Year in the report of Tomoko:
« We have New Year days from January 1 to January 3. Now it is the end of December and many people are having bonenkai parties. They are «forget-the-year parties» when friends and co-workers go together in pubs and bars and have fun. In Japan we believe that the New Year starts a new life that’s why in December we try to forget all troubles of the old Year»
