Thanksgiving is this week and, if you’re going to be in the U.S. during this week, you’ll hear some unusual vocabulary. And so, in today’s recording, I want to talk about two of the words that I, personally, associate with Thanksgiving, a short version of the Thanksgiving story, and the answer to the oldest question of all: why is turkey a traditional part of the thanksgiving meal.
The words you’ll be hearing in this recording are:
-
Pilgrim
-
Mayflower
After You’ve Heard the Recording
Is there a holiday like Thanksgiving in your country? What’s the story behind it?
