4. Task 4: Different cultures have different ways of celebrating the New Year. Most of these
customs are observed to bring good luck. On New Year’s Eve in Mexico, people wait for the clocks
strike midnight. At the first sound of the bells, people begin to eat grapes. They must eat 12 grapes
before the bells ring 12 times. In the South of the United States, people eat black-eyed peas on New
Year’s Day. Some people think you have to eat 365 peas to have good luck every day of the New
Year.

3. __. Most American think eating 365 peas brings good luck every day of the New Year.
4. __. Black–eyed peas are what people eat on New Year’s Day in the South of the USA.
5. Task 5: Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go into their offices,
factories or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up
earlier in the morning and reach home later in the evening. One advantage of living outside London
is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent.
With the same money one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own. Then in
the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town, one can sleep well at night, and
during weekends and summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country.

6. Task 6:
Christmas Carols: 800 years ago. Christmas songs were performed for people in towns and
villages. These songs were stories put to music and most people enjoyed them. The leaders of the
church, however, did not. They said the songs were unsuitable, but about 180 years ago, the songs
became popular again.
Santa Claus: In 1823, the patron saint of children, Nicolas appeared in a poem called A Visit
From Saint Nicolas. The character in the poem was a fat jolly man who was a red suit and gave
children presents on Christmas Eve. The poem, which was written by Clement Clarke Moore, an
American professor, became popular in the USA; Santa Claus is based on the description of Saint
Nicolas in this poem.
