Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question.
It is midnight. The sky is full of colour. People around the world say hello to the new year — but they do it in different ways.
In Spain, people eat twelve grapes at midnight. They eat one grape for each month. It is for good luck.
In Japan, people listen to bells. The bells ring 108 times. The sound makes people calm and ready for the new year.
In Brazil, many people wear white clothes and go to the beach. They jump over small waves and make a wish.
The traditions are different, but the feeling is the same. Everyone hopes for a happy new year.

About this reading
This A1 English reading text looks at how people celebrate the New Year in three countries: Spain, Japan, and Brazil. Each country has a different tradition, but they all share the same hope for a happy year ahead. The text uses short sentences and the present simple tense, so it is easy for beginners.
As you read, you practise scanning for specific facts — which country does what, and the numbers twelve and 108 — and comparing customs from different parts of the text. The six comprehension questions check these skills, and every answer points to the sentence that proves it.
