XI. Read the passage and decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE.
New Year’s Day is a public holiday in the United Kingdom (UK). It is on January 1st. People in the UK usually celebrate New Year from the evening of December 31st to January 1st.
On New Year’s Eve, at midnight, when the Big Ben clock strikes to mark the coming of New Year, people welcome New Year and sing the traditional song “Auld-Lang-Syne”. They open the back door to let the old year out and ask the first dark-haired man to come through the front door carrying bread, salt, and coal. This means that in the following year everyone in the house will have enough food (bread), earn enough money (salt), and be warm enough (coal).
Many people have parties at home or go out. There is also a popular tradition of exchanging New Year gifts while wishing each other well. New Year parades are the biggest attraction of New Year celebrations in the UK. They are organised in almost all major cities of the UK.
