READING & TRUE/FALSE
Read the passage and choose True or False for each statement. New Year’s
Eve, 31st December, is a time for the British to eat, drink and party when they celebrate the beginning of a New Year. Many people go to Trafalgar Square in London or a street party in their city. Others visit friends or go to pubs and restaurants, which are very crowded on that night.
There is a great atmosphere when everyone waits for Big Ben to strike midnight. Then people kiss and hold hands to sing the traditional Scottish song Auld Lang Syne . Manypeople also light fireworks at midnight.
The main tradition is ‘First Footing’. This means the first person to come into your house after midnight should be a tall dark-haired man. He should bring a piece of coal, some bread, salt or a bottle of whisky to bring good luck to the family.
A lot of people also make New Year’s Resolution; they promise to do things like stop smoking or ‘do more exercise ’ in the New Year. January 1st (and 2nd in Scotland) is a public holiday so their people can recover from their celebrations.
