Dear Manuel,
I am so glad to hear from you. I hope everything is going well in Manchester. Here in Buenos Aires, we are heading to the end of
this
year which has been everything but boring. We recently moved with my spouse and daughter to a new quarter, Belgrano. And we are accomodating to make this
place our new home :) . It would be great if you could visit us soon.
It is a pleasure being able to help you with your university project. From what I understood from your letter, I suppose you need to get an insight into how we spend New Year´s Eve here in Argentina.
Well, first of all, I strongly believe that in my country we give much more importance to this
celebration than Christmas. This
is maybe because it is not a religious fest and we can all together reunite, whatever our beliefs are.
As you well know, that night
everything is related to food. We organise the menu in advance and we divide what each one must buy and bring into the adults that we will be that night
. And, of course, we decide over drinks and kids menu. Regarding that in this
part of the globe in that season is summer time, we look for fresh meals and cool beverages. Finally
, cool music and a good ambience is
what we look for to have an unforgettable Change the verb form

.
What I like the most about New Year´s Eve in my homeplace is that for a moment we leave behind our routine and we deserve each other the best wishes for the next year. And best of all is that we finish all together dancing and singing all night
long.
I hope you find this
material useful for your project!
Best Regards from you, my friend! Keep in touch!
