Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Михеева, Афанасьева 8 класс, Дрофа:
7. Read the texts (a—d) and match them with the numbers (1—5) . There is one number you don’t need to use.
1) Memorial Day
2) Thanksgiving Day
3) Presidents’ Day
4) Christmas
5) Halloween
a) George Washington was the country’s first president. Abraham Lincoln was another popular American president. Americans remember him because he was the head of the country at the difficult time of the American Civil War. Their birthdays were both in February and Americans celebrate them together.
b) This is not an official holiday but it is a very special day. On this day children dress in costumes of witches, ghosts, monsters, etc. The windows of many houses have decorations. In the evening the children go from house to house, knock on doors and say “trick or treat”. The people in the houses usually give the children sweets or some other treat.
c) Americans celebrate this holiday every year in November. On this day a lot of Americans visit their families and have a traditional big dinner of turkey and different vegetables, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie. All together they say thank you to God and to each other for help, as the first settlers did in the 17th century, when they gathered to have a feast1 with the Native Americans.
d) This is an important time for giving presents. People begin buying presents long before the celebration. Many families put up and decorate a fir tree and make special cookies. Small children think that their presents come from Santa Claus.
