Every Hanuka, the students prepare a play at school. Some of the teachers also act in the play. Today is Hanuka Day at school. At this moment, behind the stage, Gil is dressing up and Rona is trying to calm herself down. She doesn't know how many people are sitting in the audience right now. She hopes that her mother and father will be proud of her.
At present, the students and the teacher are performing. Oh! Rona's father is not listening to Rona. Instead, he is talking on the phone and Rona's mother is playing Candy Crush. Her brother is wearing earphones and her sister is looking for something on the floor. Rona feels that she wants to cry. Suddenly, Rona's teacher whispers to Rona and says – Now you understand how I feel in class. So, don't cry, enjoy the play

ew Year is the most long-awaited (долгожданный) holiday. Many people associate it with magic and gifts. First of all it is surrounded by the wonderful smell of tangerines and Christmas trees, which helps to create a festive mood (праздничное настроение). People of all ages truly (искренне) believe that in New Year their goals (цели) and wishes will come true.
New Year is an international holiday, but in every country it is celebrated in many different ways (разными горький) food. In Spain on this day there is a tradition to swallow (глотать) one grape (виноград) for every time the bell chimes (звон курантов) and make a wish.
On New Year my family and I decorate the house and the Christmas tree and give each other gifts, wishing success (успех) in the New Year.
