New Year's Eve
New Year's Eve, also called Old Year's Night, is celebrated on
December 31st, the final day of the year. It is celebrated all over the world
with parties and social gathering with usually a lot of fireworks and noise.
In the United States of America, New York is the place where
this celebration is associated with. People gather in the Times Square (時代廣場) just
before midnight in the last minute of the countdown to see the "ball
dropping".
The celebration is also associated with parties in other parts
of the world. In France, for instance, the celebration is called le
Réveillon. Special food is prepared(made) accompanied with champagne. People also
go to the Eiffel Tower in Paris to see fireworks display. In Japan, people
traditionally clean their home. Buddhist佛教徒 temple bells are rung 108 times at
midnight. In Brazil, the beach of Copacabana科帕卡瓦納is considered by many to be the
place of the most beautiful fireworks show in the world.
On New Year's Eve, people commit themselves with resolutions.
These are made to reform a habit and should go into effect (start) and remain (stay) until
fulfillment (the habit is changed, or finished).
