New Year is a great holiday in our country. Everybody likes it very much. It is especially loved by little children. People do not go to work on that day, and children do not go to school. This holiday is considered to be a family holiday. It is usually celebrated at home among the members of the family.
People decorate their houses and usually have a fir-tree which stands in the corner of the room. Those fir-trees are very beautiful. The presents are usually put under these trees. Our parents prepare to this holiday well. They buy a New Year tree, decorate it, buy a lot of tasty food and drinks.
Every day we need some information. It may be information of all kinds: about sport, about study, about health. There are many ways to recieve any information you need: from newspapers and magazines, TV and radio programmes. Of course, radio is less popular than newspapers or TV. As for me I listen to the radio only in a car and in a bus, I don't listen to the radio at school or at home except the time when I do my homework. But very seldom, because I have Internet and I prefer listening some music and news using it not radio. Of course, I know some radio stations such as "Mayak", "Russain Radio" and "Eho Moskvy" (Эхо Москвы - название передач не переводится на иностранный язык) and my favourite radio programme is "Virgin" because they play rock and popular music 24 hours a day.
