I. LISTENING (2.5 points)
UNIT 9
Hello everyone. I'm Mark. Today I'm going to talk about Thanksgiving, or Turkey Day. It's a national
holiday. People from Canada and the USA celebrate it every year to be thankful for successful harvests.
In the USA, we celebrate it on the fourth Thursday of November. We usually prepare a feast for family
and friends. Both adults and children take part in the food preparation. Some of the traditional foods are
turkey, sweet potatoes, and cornbread. After the meal, we play board games together. My family usually
takes this opportunity to help others. My parents volunteer to cook and serve food to homeless people.
My sister and I read books to old people in a nursing home near our house.

Hi Nick,

every year. It happens on the first weekend in August. It's the largest gathering for twins in the world.
Thousands of twins come from different countries.

Yesterday morning my twin sister and I joined the Double Take Parade, a parade of twins. We wore
uniforms and walked together. Then we saw a Talent Show. It featured singing, dancing, comedy, and
other things. I loved the performance by the twins from Korea the most.
This morning we ran in the Fun Run. We didn't win but had a lot of fun. This afternoon we took photos
with twins from other countries. This is one of the most exciting festivals I've been to.
I'm getting sleepy, so bye for now.
Best,
Mark
