New year Day
New Year’s Day is, of course, the
first day of the year. It is a national holiday in most countries around the
world. It is a time when families get together and celebrate with a meal. Many
people make new plans for the rest of the year. These plans are called New Year
resolutions. People decide to lose weight, get fit, stop smoking, study English
every day or save lots of money. I think most people
are serious about these
plans on January 1st, but then forget about them before the end of the week.
Then one year later, it’s New Year’s Day all over again and people make the
same resolutions again. I guess people all around the world make the same kinds
of plans. I guess they also break their resolutions at the same time.
One thing I like about New Year’s
Day are the TV programmers that look back at the previous year. They are like
highlights shows of the news. These always remind me how lucky I am because a
lot of the news is about wars, famines, natural disasters, plane crashes and
other terrible things. The shows also look back at the lives of people who died
that year. Hmmm… That all sounds a bit depressing really. But then there are
happier things, like the top sports and music stories. Another thing that
happens on New Year’s Day is lists. The top ten movies of the year, the ten
best sporting achievements of the year, etc. There is even a list for the top
ten new English words of the year. Previous winners of this are the words
‘blog’ and ‘podcast’.
