Tony: Hi, Hugo. Are you free next Thursday evening?
Hugo:Yes. Tony. Why?
Tony: Would you like to come over to my apartment? We're celebrating Thanksgiving.
Hugo: I'd love to. It'll be the fourth Thursday in November, right?
Tony: That's right. It's the time to give thanks to our family and friends. We'll get together to
celebrate with a traditional dinner.
Hugo:What's a traditional dinner like?
Tony: There'll be a big turkey with all the side dishes-potatoes, vegetables, some fruit- and
homemade apple pie. My dad is known for his special apple pie- he learned how to make it
from my grandma.

Hugo:Wow! Sounds great! What else will we do? Will we go out and watch the parade?
Tony: My home is a bit far from the city center, so unfortunately we won't be able to do that. But
there's a football game in the evening. We can watch it on TV after dinner.
Hugo:American football? It sounds great!
Tony: All right! Come to my apartment at half past five.
Hugo:OK. Should I bring anything with me?
Tony: No, there'll be plenty of food and drink. But if you'd like to bring some flowers or candies,
my mom would be pleased.
Hugo:Do I need to wear a jacket and tie?
Tony: No, you don't have to. It is just a gathering for family and friends. You can wear anything
you like. But it might be a bit cold at night when you go home, so remember to bring
something warm to wear. Oh, by the way, you can bring a friend with you if you like. The
more, the merrier!
Hugo:Awesome! See you then!

Dear Mr. and Mrs. White,
I’m sure you must have heard of the Spring Festival, which is the most important festival in Chinese culture. However, the Lantern Festival may sound unfamiliar to you. Please allow me to introduce it to you.
The Lantern Festival is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunar calendar. It marks the final day of the traditional Chinese New Year celebrations. During the festival, we decorate our houses with posters and Chinese paper-cuts. We hold lantern riddles competitions and firework displays with thousands of people taking part in these celebrations. However, it is the busiest time for the traffic police because the lantern fair attracts a lot of people every year.
On the Lantern Festival, families gather to enjoy a big dinner, watch the Lantern Festival Gala, and catch up on each other’s recent life.
Would you like to come to celebrate the Lantern Festival with us, and experience the festive atmosphere by yourself? If you can make it, I’m sure you can have a lovely memory of it.
Yours, sincerely
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING
