Shogatsu In Japan, the New Year (Shogatsu) celebrations are from January 1 to January 3 and most Japanese don’t work during these days. In Japan, years are traditionally seen as completely separate from each other, and the New Year is a fresh start. This means that in December all the duties should be completed. Parties are held to forget the worries and troubles of the old year. Homes and cars are decorated. On New Year’s Eve, most people spend their time with their families.

When the New Year arrives, the growth of the sprouted(发芽的)grains reminds people of spring and a new year of life.

Some think that it is a stage to show their talents of art, contributing much to their social experience and selfconfidence. What’s more, it’s good for their overall development. However, other students hold the different idea that the teenagers are just imitating others rather than showing something original. Besides, some are such“star dream” followers that they can’t put their heart and soul into their study, thus affecting their study badly. In my opinion, important as study is, it’s not the only thing we can do. It is preferable to explore our abilities in other areas besides study.
