Many great holidays and anniversaries are celebrated in our country. My favourite holiday is New Year's Day.
It is a really wonderful holiday. People get ready for this holiday long before it. They buy New Year trees and decorate them. Every year a fairy-tale comes to every house and every family on New Year's Eve. Children and even grown-ups wait for this day because they believe that all their wishes and desires come true and different wonderful miracles happen on that day.They eat tasty food, drink champagne, dance and have a good time together. They wish each other happiness and good luck in the new year and put the presents under the New Year tree. Children like this holiday very much. They wait for New Year presents, which, they believe, Father Frost bring to them. Everybody is merry on that day and wishes the next year to be good and happy and all one's troubles and disappointments to remain in the past.

It is important to learn languages to date. English is the world language, spoken by many people and countries. Some teach English for work, some for their own interest. I know that the English language is used in certain professions related to Linguistics in General. Today, knowledge of a foreign language is a necessary thing to get a good job. To be a well-known public figure, you have to know English very well. In the future I want to become a diplomat, to do this you need to know English and many other languages fluently.
