New Year’s Eve in Great Britain. Новый Год в Великобритании
The first of January, New Year’s Day, is a big holiday in Scotland. Scottish people celebrate New Year’s Eve in every family. Friends usually come on that day.
They have a good dinner. After dinner there are apples, other fruit, and different sweets to eat. Then all the family and the friends begin to play games and dance. Before twelve o’clock at night many people in the towns go out into the streets to dance and to sing songs.
In England New Year’s Day is not a big holiday, it is not so popular. Very many people go to bed before twelve o’clock on New Year’s Eve. But some families celebrate this evening at home. At midnight they also go out into the streets and squares.
In London people go to the Trafalgar Square. In this square they see a great tree brightly decorated with little lamps. When the largest clock of London — Big Ben — begins to strike twelve, the people in the square join their hands and sing. They also
Новый Год в Великобритании
Первое января, Новый год, это большой праздник в Шотландии. Шотландцы празднуют Новый год в каждой семье. Обычно в этот день приходят друзья.
Они имеют хороший обед. После обеда — яблоки и другие фрукты, а также различные сладости. Тогда все члены семьи и друзья начинают играть в игры и танцевать. Перед полуночью многие люди в городах выходят на улицы, чтобы танцевать и петь песни.
В Англии Новый год не такой большой праздник, он не так популярен. Очень многие люди ложатся спать до двенадцати часов на Новый год. Но некоторые семьи отмечают этот вечер дома. В полночь они также выходят на улицы и площади.
В Лондоне люди идут на Трафальгарскую площадь. В этой площади они видят большую елку, ярко украшенную лампами. Когда крупнейшие часы Лондона — Биг Бен — начинают бить двенадцать, люди на площади берутся за руки и начинают петь. Они также желают счастливого Нового года друг другу. Новый год является одним из любимых праздников для многих людей в Великобритании.
