on saying

goodbye to the past year an welcoming the New Year.From mid-December,people start to prepare or do festival

and

shopping.A lot of activity are held in the streets of the Lhasa during the New Year Festival.There is an interested

to it

those which get it.

who

【解析】第一处，in改为on, 表达时间时具体到某一天，用介词on。

第二处，say改为saying，介词for后用动词ing形式。

第三处，or改为and，从12月中旬开始，人们开始准备并且购买过节用品。and表并列关系。

第四处，activity改为activities，拉萨大街上举办许多活动。activity n. 活动，为可数名词。

第五处，将Lhasa前的the去掉，专有地名之前不用冠词。

第六处，interested改为interesting，an interesting competition一项有趣的比赛。

第七处，tried改为tries。根据上下文，此处应为一般现在时第三人称单数形式tries，属时态错误。

第八处，believe和be gold water之间加to，不定式to be gold water作主语补足语，to不能省略。

第九处，they改为it，it在此代指上一句中the first bucket of water。

第十处，which改为who，关系代词用错，此处those指人，用who。
