M: Come in and have a seat please, Ann. Please make yourself at home.
W: I am really grateful for your invitation. I know Thanksgiving is a very traditional family holiday and I am so glad to be with an American family on this occasion.
M: [10] On the fourth Thursday of November every year, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving Day. You know its origin?
W: Yeah, [10] it has something to do with the first settlers and Indians.
M: Right. The first settlers in Massachusetts started this custom. And large dinners with many relatives are common throughout America on this special day.
W: Do you have traditional dishes that you serve every year?
M: Yes, we do. [10] The traditional foods of Thanksgiving meal include roast turkey, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie and bread pudding. I hope you have good appetite today.
W: What do men do while women are doing the cooking?
M: [11] It’s the same every year—football. We watch one game after another on Thanksgiving. I always think we’d better go out and get some exercise, but every year we fail. [11] We are glued to the tube! When I was young, I always went hunting with my father on Thanksgiving Day morning.
W: What do you do after the meal?
M: [12] After dinner we’d like to go bowling. It’s a fun thing to do together as a family. After a couple of games, we go back home and eat the leftovers.
W: I think that Thanksgiving and Christmas are the most important holidays in the States, just like Spring Festival in China.
