New Year
My name is Maggie. I'm from a small country, but now I live in China. I'm a student in an international school. In my country, the New Year is different from the Spring Festival in China. Let me tell you how we celebrate the New Year in my country.
On the New Year's Eve（前夜）, we don't go to bed early. We stay up and wait for the New Year. At midnight, at the first stroke（钟声）of the clock, we open the back door to send the old year away. Then we lock the door quickly to keep the good luck at home. At the last stroke, we open the front door to let the New Year come in.
We do a lot of things to celebrate the New Year. We watch the fireworks, eat good food and put on new clothes. We also sing and dance to celebrate the New Year.
