Imagine you're preparing a project "New Year Celebrations Around the World". You have found some interesting information. Arrange the information in the right order to make a story. New Year's Eve, 31 December, is the last day of the old year. In many places, people have a party or go out in the evening with their friends and family to watch amazing fireworks or light shows. People often watch a big clock and count down the last ten seconds (10! 9! 8! … 3! 2! 1!) before midnight, the moment the new year starts, then say 'Happy New Year!' There are lots of different traditions in different countries. In some countries, people sing a special New Year song. In the UK the song is called 'Auld Lang Syne', and people usually sing it just after midnight. In Greece, you can have a piece of a special cake or bread. Inside only one piece of the cake or bread is a coin. If you get that piece, you have good luck for the next year! In other countries, colours are important. In Brazil, for example, people often wear white clothes for good luck, yellow clothes for happiness and money or red clothes for love. In the Philippines, circles mean coins or money, so people wear clothes with circles and eat 12 round fruits, one for each month of the year. Bells can be important too. In many places, a clock bell rings 12 times at midnight. In Japan, temple bells ring 108 times! This is to make sure that there are no negative feelings or ideas, like anger or hate, in the new year. For lots of people, the New Year is the perfect time to make New Year's resolutions. This means to promise yourself to do something good for all the next year. For example, I'm going to eat one more piece of fruit or vegetables every day, or I'm going to help my little brother with his homework every week. Sometimes it's difficult to keep your resolutions! If you make a resolution, try something small that you can easily say 'Yes, I did that today.' Good luck! New Year is celebrated in so many different ways, but everywhere people are happy and excited for the new year and enjoy this time with their friends and family. Happy New Year!
