Fall Celebrations in New England
Read the letter. Choose the correct answer.
Dear Yumi,
It's fall in New England, and I'm so happy to be here. There are two important American holidays in the fall: Halloweenand Thanksgiving Day. We're going to celebrate both. Halloween is on October 31st. Everyone puts up black and orange decorations — like pictures of black cats and things like that. In the evening, children in the neighborhood are going to wear different costumes. They're going to go trick-or-treating to houses in the neighborhood. I'm not going to go trick-or-treating, but I'm going wear acostume and give candy to the children. And I'm going to eat some, too! Thanksgiving Day is on the fourth Thursday in November. In the morning, my friends and I are going to go to an American football game in the town's stadium. Then, in the afternoon, we're going to have a really big dinner. We're going to make a lot of food — meat, vegetables, fresh bread, and stuff like that. And we're going to havethree different things for dessert — cakes, cookies, and pies! It's going to be delicious!
Write me soon!
Your friend,
Hikaru
