【お手本５文】
We like to go out and party on New Year’s Eve.
There are usually countdowns to the new year in each timezone, and fireworks go off at midnight.
In Japan, however, it seems that New Year’s is more important as a family holiday.
People go home to visit their families for the new year, and children receive gifts of money.
That’s a lot more like Christmas in America.
（和訳）

各タイムゾーンで新年のカウントダウンがあり、１２時に花火が打ち上げられる。
日本では、元旦の方が家族の祝日として重要なようだ。
人々は実家に帰り、新年に親戚を訪問して、子供たちはお年玉をもらう。
米国のクリスマスに近い感じだ。
