Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, everyone!

あけましておめでとうございます!今年もよろしくお願いします!

In the United States, people often make New Year's resolutions. It means that people make goals for themselves for the new year. I have many goals for this year. I hope I can complete them all.

アメリカ人は新年のためにいろいろな目標を考えます。私は今年のためにたくさんの
目標を考えましたので、頑張ります!

There aren't many common holidays in January in the west. We celebrate New Year's Day on January 1st, and it's the only major, common holiday. In India Makar Sankranti, a harvest festival, is celebrated on January 14th. In the United States we will also celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on January 21st this year. In Scotland, many people celebrate Burns Night on January 25th. It's a celebration of a Scottish poet called Robert Burns. And Australia Day is on January 26th. 

1月には英語がよくしゃべる国の中でたくさんの祝いが全員あまり祝いません。1月1日はお正月で、この祝い日しか祝いません。でも、インドにマカー・サンクランティという感謝祭が1月の14日にあります。アメリカで、マーテン・ルーサ・キング・ジュニャー牧師先生の日を今年21日に祝います。スコットランド人は25日にバーンズナイトを祝います。その祝い日はスコットランドからの「ロバト・バーンズ」という詩人のことを祝います。最後で、オーストラリアの日は26日にあります。
