Three students are talking about the New Year tradition of their own country.
Tony from Spain
On the last day of the year, the 31st of December, people wait till 12 pm.
Everybody must have 12 grapes to eat at midnight. At each sound of the clock, we
must eat a grape. But we can’t ever finish eating the grapes on time! Usually when
people still have some grapes in their mouths, they look at each other and start to
laugh. This tradition started in Spain long ago. One year, when there were a lot of
grapes, the king of Spain decided to give grapes to everybody to eat on New Year’s
Eve.
Caroline from Britain
On New Year’s Day in Britain, people have parties. At 12 o’clock, the music
stops, and we listen to the radio. On the radio we hear Big Ben, the famous clock in
London. Then everybody sings a song about friendship and kisses their friends. We
say “Happy New Year” to each other. It’s lucky if a tall man with dark hair is the
first person to come to the house in the New Year. So I go and visit as many friends
as I can. They all give me a drink.
Jenny from Brazil
In all cities in Brazil, we have a big party on New Year’s Eve, especially in Rio
de Janeiro. People in this city go to the beaches to watch fireworks. We put flowers
in the sea and think about things we want for ourselves or others. We usually wear
white clothes for good luck during the New Year.
