One last question: What takes place in America right after Thanksgiving and it´s becoming even more popular than the traditional celebration?
I can´t wait to get your guesses!
I have been reading about Thanksgiving Day and I have found this text who speak about the day after
ResponderEliminarThe day after Thanksgiving, known as "Black Friday," is seen as the start of the holiday shopping season. Many stores offer big discounts and open before dawn for a rush of shoppers.
Great Jaione,you´ve got the correct answer!
ResponderEliminarI've found more difficult the vocabulary than the reading questions. I'm going to practise more in this useful website.
ResponderEliminarI agree with Jaione, 'Black Friday' shopping has become a huge part of the Thanksgiving holiday for many folks. For me good meals or to have a chat with my family at Christmas or other festivals, make me happy more than go shopping.
ResponderEliminarI quite agree with Sara, i think Black Friday is a crazy celebration in order to transform us in a new consumers, I prefer something funnier than wait some hours in front of a shop or mall.
ResponderEliminarThis recipe is a tradition for Thanksgiving, I hope you enjoy:

HI! I have also read the text about Thanksgiving and to be honest...I didn´t know that it´s celebrated too in Canada.
ResponderEliminarBut apparently the fourth friday called "Black Friday" is becoming a very important shopping day maybe as important as the January´s sales here.
Thank you all for sharing your views on this traditional celebration.
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand,I think this is a good training exercise because it has several and different exercises. On the other hand, I think it isn´t too difficult because we can read the text while we listen it. Personally, I need to repeat it more than once.
ResponderEliminarI agree with my classmate, the day after Thanksgiving, is knowns as "Black Friday" and this year I've seen it for the first time in Spain.
