SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear [Friend’s Name],
I hope you’re doing well! I’m glad to hear about your college project on New Year celebrations, and I’d be happy to share how this special occasion is celebrated in my country.
New Year is very important here, as it marks a fresh start and a time for people to reflect on the past year. Most families come together to celebrate, and it’s a public holiday, so many businesses are closed.
On New Year’s Eve, people gather for big parties with family and friends, enjoying traditional food and drinks. At midnight, fireworks light up the sky, and people exchange good wishes. A common tradition is to count down the final seconds of the year before the clock strikes twelve. Some also make resolutions for the coming year, hoping for positive changes.
I personally love the warmth and togetherness during these celebrations, and the excitement of starting the New Year with hope and joy.
Best wishes,
