5. Many parents often complain that teenagers don`t want to spend their free time with them. What do you think about this?
Family is very important for every person, because it gives you a sense of stability and tradition, a feeling of having support and understanding.Nowadays my parents and I are usually very busy during the weekdays and we seldom have a chance to spend time together. My parents spend as much time with me as possible but I think we would all love more time together.
We have some family traditions. All our family traditions are connected with some holidays. There are family holidays like birthdays, weddings and anniversaries. During these holidays all my relatives gather to spend time together.

1. Now let`s talk about Belarusian customs and traditions. What can you tell me about your favorite holiday in Belarus?
My favourite holidays are the New Year.
New Year Day is the most exciting time of the year for the children and the adults. New Year has three marvellous aspects — both giving and receiving presents, making beautiful decorations and preparing the most wonderful food. The central decoration for New Year must be the fur tree decorated with toys and lights. Long before the New Year Eve people begin to buy New Year cards, toys and presents. Most families see the New Year in at home. A lot of delicious food is cooked for the night meal which usually starts at 10 o'clock. This day is a traditional family reunion day and a special day for children.
Are you proud of our national holidays and traditions?
Like other countries Belarus has its own holidays. They are of two kinds – traditional national holidays and religious holidays. National holidays are both – a public celebration and a personal event in the family.
We have some special holidays. For example, Kupalle, it is the most loved and celebrated pagan holiday in Belarus.People jump over the fire, bath in the river, roll in the grass dew. They dance in karagods, compet in strength and look for a blossoming fern flower – “paparats kvetka”.
Another interesting holiday is Belarusian Kalyady.Orthodox Christmas comes a week after the New Year and this week in Belarus is called Kalyady. During the Christmas week street festivals of all kinds take place in the cities and towns of Belarus. For religious people this holiday is of special meaning. So they go to churches and take part in different religious celebrations.
