中秋节[zhōng qiū jié]-Mid-Autumn Festival

New Year (正月, shōgatsu) is the most important holiday in Japan. Most businesses shut down from January 1 to January 3, and families typically gather to spend the days together.

Years are traditionally viewed as completely separate, with each new year providing a fresh start. Consequently, all duties are supposed to be completed by the end of the year, while bonenkai parties ("year forgetting parties") are held with the purpose of leaving the old year's worries and troubles behind.

Homes and entrance gates are decorated with ornaments made of pine, bamboo and plum trees, and clothes and houses are cleaned.

On New Year's eve, toshikoshi soba (buckwheat noodles), symbolizing longevity, are served. A more recent custom is watching the music show "kohaku uta gassen", a highly popular television program featuring many of Japan's most famous J-pop and enka singers in spectacular performances.

Câu chuyện về túi khoai tây
Vào một buổi học, thầy giáo tôi mang vào lớp rất nhiều túi nhựa và một bao khoai tây thật to. Thầy  chậm rãi giải thích với mọi người rằng mỗi khi cảm thấy oán giận hoặc không muốn tha thứ lỗi lầm cho ai, hãy viết tên những người mình không ưa hay ghét hận rồi cho vào túi. Chỉ một lúc sau, chiếc túi nào của chúng tôi cũng đã căng nặng, đầy khoai tây. Thậm chí, có người một túi không chứa hết khoai tây, phải thêm một túi nhỏ kèm theo.............

«Mi padre se llama Nicolás, es alto, moreno y tiene el pelo corto. Tiene los ojos marrones y a veces lleva gafas.

Esta es mi madre, se llama Antonia. Ella también es alta, y tiene el pelo corto y rojo, ¡es pelirroja! Siempre lleva gafas. Mis padres son muy alegres y cariñosos.

Ahora os presento a mis hermanos:

Este es mi hermano pequeño, Miguel. Es alto y delgado. Tiene un pendiente en la oreja, es muy moderno.

Francisca es mi hermana mayor, tiene los ojos azules como yo, tiene el pelo largo y liso, y siempre lleva flequillo.

Mis hermanos son muy divertidos.

También tenemos dos mascotas: una perra y una gata.

La perra se llama Maya, es de color marrón, es grande y fuerte. La gata se llama Loli, es pequeñita y de varios colores. Maya y Loli siempre están contentas, son muy juguetonas.

Y yo soy Marta, tengo veinte años, soy rubia y tengo los ojos azules. Tengo el pelo muy largo y rizado.

En mi familia todos somos muy diferentes, pero en la variedad está el gusto, ¿no?»
