New year celebrations around the worldАвтор: учитель английского языка МООУ «СШИ №2» Феденко Галина Васильевна
People around the world celebrate the New year in different ways. They also celebrate it in different times, according their calendar or religious traditions
The international calendar changed on the 1-st of January, so most European countries celebrate New Year’s Eve on the 31-st of December
At New Year people look back over the past year and look forward to a good future
In Spain
Once there was an enormous grape harvest and the king decided to give everyone grapes on New Year’s Eve
Nowadays each time the clock chimes at midnight, you have to eat a grape. Most people can’t eat all the grapes before the clock stops chiming
They usually have all twelve grapes in their mouths, so everyone starts laughing. This is a good way to start the New Year!
In Japan
This country celebrates the New Year with traditional food. Families make rice cakes in a large bucket
The children have to trust their dad, and he has to make sure he doesn’t hit their hands with the hammer
The father uses a big hammer to smash the rice, while the rest of the family stir the rice with their hands
Working together like this develops good relationships within the family
In China
The Chinese New Year does not fall on the same date every year. It comes between 17 January and 19 February
The New Year celebrations last for 15 days. There are fireworks and enormous parades in the streets, with a big party on the last night
Some people dress up as traditional Chinese dragons and dance in the streets, while others decorate their homes and put paper decorations on their windows
The others decorate their homes and put paper decorations on their windows
Every country has its own traditions for New Year. Don’t lose them! Let’s maintain them! Happy New Year!
