T: Hi, Marcos, what are you
doing next Thursday? And
your brother, too. Is he
around?

21.

M: Next Thursday? My
brother is staying with
friends next week, but I am
not doing anything. Why?

22.

T: Well, I am having a meal
at my house to celebrate
Thanksgiving and I’d really
like you to come

23.

M: Oh, Thanks. I’d love to!
That’s very kind of you!
I’ve never been to a
thanksgiving meal before.
It’s an important festival
here, isn’t it?

24.

T: Yes…and I am going to
cook roast turkey!
Thanksgiving is all about the
food…well…really. Just
getting together with family
and friends and having a
lovely meal

25.

T: Sometimes after the meal
people go out for a walk or
something, but mostly they
just sit around and watch
TV together

26.

M: Mmm…And what about
presents and things? Is it a
time when you give presents
to people, like at Christmas
or?

27.

T: No, not really. It’s a
really big and important
celebration, but it isn’t
commercial. People don’t
usually buy lots of presents
or anything

28.

T: There’re some big public
celebrations like the Macy’s
parade in New York…but, for
most people it’s just a time for
giving thanks and getting
together with family and
friends and eating turkey

29.

M: Mmm…I love roast turkey!
T: Yes, me too. Traditionally,
we have roast turkey as the
main part of the meal…and
then there’re lots of other
dishes

30.

T: I mean, basically,
there’re four other essential
parts to the meal.
Sometimes more than four
M: Really?

31.

T: There’re lots of
variations, too. It depends
on where you come from in
the States.

32.

T: I am from the north east
and one of the things we
have is sweet potatoes with
maple syrup. It’s very sweet
and some people don’t like
it. But I love it!

33.

M: I think it sounds
delicious….sweet potatoes
and maple syrup
T: Yeah… some people
have sweet potatoes baked
in the oven – in a sort of pie

34.

T: But we usually have
them boiled…and then
mashed up and …then with
maple syrup on top. Not
everyone has maple syrup

35.

T: In some parts of the
States they have sweet
potatoes with fresh fruit –
things like apples, oranges
and pears
M: Really? Interesting!

36.

T: The second thing. We
always have is cranberry
sauce. Have you ever had
that?
ML Cranberry sauce? No, I
don’t think so

37.

T: It goes really well with
turkey – it’s made of small
red berries – it’s also very
sweet actually. Not
everything we have is
sweet, though

38.

T: There’re some savory
dishes!
M: What else then?
T: Well, stuffing is really
important. I love it

39.

T: It’s one of my favorite
parts of the meal
M: Stuffing? What’s that?
T: It’s made of bread and
meat – sausages usually

40.

T: All mixed up together
and it’s often very spicy
M: So, there’re basically 4
other dishes. What was it?
Sweet potatoes, cranberry
sauce and stuffing

41.

M: What’s the fourth one?
T: Well, apple pie, of
course!
M: Ah, yes. I’ve heard
about traditional American
apple pie

42.

T: Actually some people
don’t have apple pie. In
some places they have
pumpkin pie or pie made of
pecan nuts, which is very
popular

43.

T: But in our house we have
apple pie – baked in the
oven. It’s fantastic!
M: Mmm…I am getting
hungry just thinking about it
all

44.

T: We’re eating at about 2
o’clock in the afternoon – so
why don’t you come at
about midday for some
drinks first?

45.

M: So is there anything I
can bring?
T: Oh, no! Don’t worry
about that. Just come and
enjoy yourself

46.

M: Perfect. See you then. I
am really looking forward to
it
