Thanksgiving

Hi everyone:

As you may already know, Thanksgiving will be celebrated tomorrow in the U.S.A. In my opinion, the original meaning of this event was something really beautiful...

Unfortunately (and surprisingly), it seems that people in North America have forgotten what 'giving thanks' to those who helped them survive (at the very beginning of their arrival at the U.S.A) means.

This activity has been kindly created and shared by a teacher. It can be useful to practice listening and reading, but just the two first exercises (the rest are targeted at French students of English).

See you tomorrow!
