Others go to a pub to celebrate, or spend the evening in a large public space, for example Trafalgar Square in London.
New Year begins with the bell of Big Ben, the famous London clock, at midnight, which is also shown on TV for those who are staying in.
In Scotland, New Year is called Hogmanay, and for some people, it's a bigger celebration than Christmas. In big cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow there are street parties with around 100,000 people, enjoying music, entertainment and fireworks at midnight.
One Scottish tradition which is now popular throughout the UK as well as in the USA, is the singing of a traditional folk song. Auld lang syne, reminds us to think of old friends and remember the good times of the past.
On New Year's Eve many people enjoy drinking wine, but New Year's Day signals the start of a healthier life, so some people make New Year's resolutions (计划). Often these are connected with fitness and health, for example giving up smoking or drinking, taking more exercise or losing weight. Other people make a resolution to improve their life in other ways, such as spending more time with family, learning something new.

"Believe in yourself and you can make your come true. "
When you're a teenager, it seems that every time you say "I want to. . . ", someone answers "No, you can't" . Also, no part of your life is safe from the prying(窥视的) eyes of your parents.
A 15-year-old girl, Debbie says, "My dad always wants to know where I am, and what time I'm going to be home. "
Most parents do that. Do they have to know everything? They should give us more freedom. Young people further complain that their parents do not respect them. When something goes wrong, more parents just don't believe in their children. Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong. And not many parents allow their kids to choose for themselves. Yes, it is true that your parents sometimes treat you like a little child. But remember that not too long ago you were really a child. Your parents still remember those childish mistakes that you used to make. They want to protect you though you do not want them to do so.
So, if you want to get more freedom, please try to understand your parents and do not lie to them. Try a more friendly way. If you want them to allow you to stay out late，don't just say,"All the other kids can stay out late. " Tell them as much as you can about what you want to do and where you'll be and why it's important for you to stay out late. Then they might just say "yes".
