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!
