Okay, I think, for example, one occasion my families and friends like to celebrate is a birthday. For me, celebrations in people's lives are important because they can make their appearance. However, I think that people do not have time off work for important celebrations because I believe that these important celebrations are not like national celebrations, and there isn't a day off work for this type of celebration. I think for national celebrations, people enjoy participating because they are the most important days in our lives. I believe that celebrations can become more important over time because they are commemorated over time and for years. For example, I think that countries will celebrate in the future a day of exit, the day of exit from coronavirus, for example.
