Japanese Tradition -New Year I'd like to talk about Japanese tradition about New Year holiday. New Year's Day is the most important holiday in Japan, and I think the tradition is very different from American one. I'm going to introduce three aspects of Japanese tradition regarding of new year celebration. First, there are no fireworks. Almost all shops , businesses are closed. People go to their hometown and spend time with their family or relatives. New Year's Day is quiet and calm. Secondly, there are special dishes for new year celebration. For example, on New Year's Eve, many people have soba or buckwheat noodles. This long and thin noodle represents longevity. They wish for a long healthy life eating soba noodles. Another example for special food is Zoni. Zoni is a soup with rice cake and other ingredients which is usually served for New Year's Day breakfast. The last example of new year tradition is visiting shrines or temples. Many people go there during new year holidays and pray their health, success or good luck. Some famous places can be overcrowded. To sum up, Japanese new year tradition has three distinctive aspects. I assume it's kind of combination of Christmas and thanksgiving holiday. People spend time with their family at home relatively quietly, eating special foods, and visiting shrines or temples. I hope you visit Japan during New Year holiday and have a great experience there. Thank you.

IELTS practice : exciting experience_sport Could you correct below and suggest other expressions if you think of? Thank you. I'd like to tell you about an exciting experience that I had. It was about 5 years ago, I went to see tennis games for the first time. I used to play tennis when I was a university student, but I've never watched a professional game in live. So I was really excited going the match and enjoyed it. It's really different watching a game in live, compare to just watching it at home on TV. I was able to see players very closely. The speed was much faster than I expected and I could feel their tension and energy througout the game. You never know what happens next, and who will win until the game ends. Another reason I was so excited about is my favorite player won the match and she gave me her autograph on my hat after the game. I keep it at home as my treasure.
