Year Celebrations around the World
New Year is a wonderful time when family and friends come together to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new one. People all around the world celebrate the New Year with music, special food, and fireworks though the celebration may take place at different times.
In the UK, many people gather in London on December 31 to see the famous Big Ben ben clock tower and count down to midnight. Research suggests that millions also watch it on TV. At midnight they sing Auld Lang Syne, a traditional Scottish song, to remember friends and family. In the US, people have similar customs. A famous tradition involves the dropping of a big ball in New York’s Time Square. Huge crowds gather to watch, and when the ball reaches the bottom everyone wishes each other “Happy New Year!”
The Chinese New Year, or the Spring Festival, holds great importance in China. People sweep out dust from their houses, hang couplets, set off fireworks, and enjoy lion or dragon dances. One very important custom is for people to return home and enjoy the family dinner on the eve of the Spring Festival. Grandparents, parents, and children gather to eat delicious food and express best wishes for the whole family. This reunion shows that family is hugely important in Chinese culture.
In Egypt, people celebrate Sham El in April to mark the beginning of spring. The name of the festival means “smelling the breeze”. At this time, the weather becomes brighter, and the flowers and trees begin to show their colors. People paint eggs as symbols of new life and new beginnings. They also go out and enjoy picnics, dance, sing, and watch plays in the theater.
Although New Year festivals are different all over the world, they have one thing in common. In almost every country, people believe that it is a special time to connect with their family and friends and show hope for the coming year.
New Year is a wonderful time when family and
friends come together to say goodbye to the old
year and welcome the new one. 新年是一个美好的
时刻,家人和朋友们聚在一起告别旧岁,迎接新的一年。
◉when 在这里作关系副词,在句中引导定语从句 when family
