New Year’s Eve Celebration
On new year‟s eve 2014, my family and I celebrated it by watching the fireworks in the Town.
The weather at that time was not so bright. But it did not dampen my spirit to see the moment that only happened once a year. My family and I left
home at 10.30 pm. The distance from our house to the town was not far. On the way, we met with our neighbors who also wanted to spend the time to
watch the firework. About fifteen minutes, we arrived at the Town. The atmosphere was bustling with sellers. The food‟s sellers and trumpet‟s sellers
were all busy serving customers. We did not forget to see the concert that night. Finally, the moment that we waited had arrived. People all together
counted down ten to one. Then, various kind of the fireworks exploded in the air beautifully. I was recording the fireworks with my hand phone.
After all finished we went home with unforgettable memories. I hope to watch the fireworks again next year.
