I spent my day as usual, even though it was New Year's eve
Today I slept until 11 a.m. and got out of bed at 11:15. I can explain this situation. Something understandable happened today. All night, the street lights were on, and the light came slightly through my window. My bed is located right next to the window, so the room was as bright as possible. Usually, the street lights are turned off around midnight, but this night they stayed on, and it really bothered me. As a result, I fell asleep around 3 a.m., even though I went to bed at 1:30 a.m. For about one and a half hours, I tried to fall asleep and read Reddit posts, as usual. After I woke up and finished my morning routine, it was already close to lunchtime. So I waited a bit and started my day with lunch.
This day was nothing special. I started the day late and planned to finish it after 1 a.m. I didn’t plan to celebrate the New Year because my family and I decided not to celebrate it. We didn’t prepare a holiday table, and we didn’t set up a New Year tree. For me, it was just a regular day. However, I clearly remember the last times when I celebrated the New Year. It was December 31, 2022, in Turkey, and December 31, 2021, in Kazan. Over the last three years, I haven’t celebrated anything.
During the day, I fixed bugs on my blog, added some improvements, and practiced my English. I also watched and listened to some YouTube podcasts and shorts. In the evening, I finished watching the New Year movie Home Alone 1 and went for a walk near the New Year tree. There was a New Year party with games for children, concert programs, and, of course, Father Frost and the Snow Maiden. Honestly, I don’t like watching such parties. I stayed there for only about fifteen minutes and then left.

2.Key mistakes & how to improve them
Verb tense & form
- “Today happened something understandable” → “Something understandable happened today”
- “After my woke up” → “After I woke up”
- “I want to finish it after 1 AM” → “I wanted to finish it after 1 AM” (past → past)
Articles (a / the)
You often miss articles, which is very common.
- “started day at 11 AM” → “started the day at 11 AM”
- “finished New Year movie” → “finished a New Year movie”
Word choice (very important)
Some words are understandable but not natural:
- “accident” → sounds like a crash → “situation” / “reason”
- “it bothered me properly” → “it really bothered me”
- “celebrate nothing” → “didn’t celebrate anything”
Sentence flow
Some sentences are too long and should be split.
Example: “Around 1.5 hours, I just tried to sleep and read posts on Reddit as usual.”
Better: “For about 1.5 hours, I tried to fall asleep and read Reddit posts, as usual.”
