New Year’s Eve is the last day of the year. It is always an exciting time because people look forward to     1    (welcome) a new year. It is also a good time to think back and say goodbye to the old year. New Year’s Eve is a     2    (nation) holiday for many people around the world. In a lot of countries , people go back to their hometown for the New Year, so usually the trains and buses    3    (pack) with people. In England, there is always a New Year’s Eve party,     4     is usually held at someone’s home and the host invites friends, families and neighbors. The living room becomes a mini disco as everyone dances    5     loud music.

I have lots of good     6    (memory) of New Year’s Eve . I once spent one freezing New Year’s Eve in Trafalgar Square in the center of London. It snowed and was     7    (bitter) cold . I also spent many wonderful New Year’s Eves in Japan. There, it is a tradition    8    (visit) a shrine(圣坛)and pray for good things. I think wherever you are, New Year’s Eve is always     9    exciting day. Maybe the last way to welcome the New Year     10    (be)watching amazing fireworks displays in the world’s cities.
