LET’S CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING!
ÜNNEPELJÜK MEG A HÁLAADÁST!
Woman: It’s already the middle of November and Thanksgiving is around the corner. I can’t wait to have the kids at home for a couple of days.
Man: Are they coming home? Have you talked to them?
Woman: Well, I think, it’s obvious. It’s Thanksgiving weekend, everybody visits their family. I’m so excited to meet them and talk to them in person. I know that we often call each other and continuously chat on Messenger, but that’s not the same as meeting them face to face.
Man: Yes, that’s true. What are your plans for Thanksgiving this year?
Woman: The same as every year. A sumptuous Thanksgiving feast of roast turkey with mashed potatoes and gravy, corn bread, and pumpkin pie for dessert.
Man: Sounds good, but you know that I don’t really like pumpkin pie. It’s too sweet for my taste.
Woman: I’ll make some apple pie as well, just for you.
Man: Thanks, honey. Any other plans apart from the meal?
Woman: Your parents will be in town. We might invite them over. Your dad loves watching football with you after the Thanksgiving meal and spending a lazy afternoon with the kids.
Man: Good idea. Dad can be really funny when he cheers for the underdog team. He always supports the underdogs. That’s his policy. How are the kids coming home? Are they going to fly or drive?
Woman: I don’t know. But they’d better fly. The roads can get terribly busy before Thanksgiving and I would be anxious about their safety.
Man: Both of them are excellent drivers, so you shouldn’t worry. Are you going to call them to arrange the details or shall I?
Woman: I will call them tonight. The sooner we know the better.
