New Year’s Eve is my favorite holiday and I always look forward to it.

Новый год – это самый долгожданный праздник из всех. У многих людей он ассоциируется с волшебством и подарками. Во-первых, это всегда неповторимый аромат мандарин и новогодней ели, что создаёт праздничное настроение. Именно в Новый год люди всех возрастов искренне верят в то, что все их заветные цели и мечты сбудутся.
Новый год — это интернациональный праздник, но в каждой стране его встречают по-разному, и каждая семья имеет свои особенные традиции. Например, в Австралии, люди празднуют Новый год, собираясь с друзьями на пляжах или пикниках. В Италии этот праздник наступает только 6 января! Люди верят в добрую волшебную фею Бефану, которая дарит звёздочки и подарки каждому. В Израиле люди в этот день избегают горькой пищи, поэтому на Новый год они едят только сладости. В Испании на Новый год зародилась традиция загадывать желания, глотая по одной виноградинке под бой курантов.
На Новый год я и моя семья всегда украшаем дом и ёлку, дарим друг другу подарки, желая при этом успеха и удачи в Новом году.
Новый год – мой любимый праздник и я всегда жду его с особым нетерпением!
There are a lot of disadvantages of staying at school, you are still treated like a kid, the teachers know your history and you don’t get other life experience.
I stayed in the 6-form department because it was an easy choice to do and didn’t seem as frightening as going to college.
I soon understood that people who had gone to college were doing more interesting things, generally had better choice of subjects and after school activities, and were treated as grown-ups.
In the end I left school and entered the college.
I never really enjoyed school, but college was quite different.
The sixth-form college provides an excellent atmosphere and good preparation for university.
I took it seriously and worked harder.
