Every year January 1st is the New Year’s Day. New Year’s Day is the first day in a year, which people regard it as the beginning of the whole year. It is a holiday for memories and for hopes. Chinese always believe that a good beginning will make a whole year become smoothly. So, it is an important festival that nearly everyone will have a day off. 
每年的1月1日是元旦。元旦是一年中的第一天，人們把它當作是一年的開始。元旦是一個對過去充滿回憶、對未來充滿期待的一個節日。中國人總是覺得一個好的開始可以使接下來的一整年順順利利的。所以，那是一個很重要的節日，幾乎每個人都會有一天假。
As it is important, people have figured out many ways to celebrate it. Some people will celebrate it with families and some will celebrate with friends. No matter what kind of celebrating way, it will be full of happiness. 
由于其重要性，大家想了很多方式來慶祝。有些人會和家人一起慶祝而有些則會與朋友一起慶祝。無論用什么樣的方式慶祝，都是充滿歡樂的。
For me, I only have one day off, and I study far away from my family, so I can’t celebrate this special day with my family. But I will do it with my friends. We plan to have a wonderful dinner on the eve of New Year’s Day. And then we will talk and stay together to do the New Year countdown. On the New Year’s Day, we are going to going hiking or go shopping. It is certain that we call our family to share the enjoyment for the first day. 
對我來說，我只有一天休息，而且我家里離我學校很遠，所以我不能和我的家人一起慶祝這個特別的日子。不過我會和我朋友一起慶祝。我們計劃在元旦前夕吃一頓豐盛的晚餐。然后我們會呆在一起聊天之后一起新年倒計時。在元旦那天，我們會去遠足或者逛街。我們肯定會打電話給我們的家人一起分享這第一天的快樂。
I believe New Year’s Day would be a wonderful day. My dear friends and families: In this New Year wishes God bless you! Fortuna clinging to you!
我相信元旦肯定是美好的一天。我最親愛的家人和朋友：在新的一年里，愿上帝保佑你！觀音菩薩護住你！
