New Year is the best of holydays. At New Year’s Eve always appears this strange expectation of something big, new and great. Joyful atmosphere is all around. Everybody is busy picking nice Christmas trees, presents and feasts for holyday table. It seems like fairytale since childhood.
Preparations for this celebration are starting early. Everything begins with general cleaning. Than rooms are decorating with beautiful toys, garlands, holiday lights and candles. But most beautiful decorations are New Year and Christmas wreaths with conifer branches, bright ribbons and figures of angels.
Dishes on holyday table are always special. And the most important moment of celebration is coming of New Year with chiming clock. Last toll marks beginning of grand firework which may last for whole hour. Than all guests, relatives and friends, begin celebrations with dances and contests which last for the whole night. And first thing to do at next is to check all presents.
Перевод:
Новый Год – лучший из праздников. В канун нового года возникает странное ожидание чего-то большого, нового и замечательного. Вокруг царит атмосфера праздника. Все заняты выбором ёлок, подарков и угощений для праздничного стола. С самого детства это время похоже на сказку.
Подготовка к празднованию начинается рано. Первый этап – генеральная уборка, а затем все комнаты украшаются красивыми игрушками, гирляндами и свечами. Но самые красивые новогодние украшения – венки с хвойными ветками, яркими лентами и ангелами.
Блюда на праздничном столе всегда особенные. А самый важный момент празднования – наступление нового года под бой курантов. Последний удар колокола служит сигналом для начала впечатляющего фейерверка, который может продолжаться целый час. Потом все гости, родственники и друзья, начинают веселиться, танцевать и устраивать конкурсы. Праздник продолжается всю ночь, а утром первым делом надо проверить подарки под ёлкой.
I'd like to describe picture number 1. The photo was taken inside. The picture shows us the boy using computer. The action is taking place in a computer club or in a computer class at the school. Looking at this picture I get the impression that boy completing a hard test or playing in a difficult game. He looks very serious and focused and he's concentrated on monitor in front of him. He wear a shirt and he looks like he's about 13 years old. I like this photo because I like to play and work on computer too.
Как то так. Вроде норм
