Speaker 1
In America we have the first name, the middle name and the surname. The surname is exactly the same as the
family name. The first name is the same is the given name. Here’s an example for you. Robert is the given name of
my son. His middle name is Pyke. His family name is Stone. So his full name is Robert Pyke Stone. Women take the
family names of their husbands. Some people have a nickname.
Speaker 2
In America there are a lot of holidays in autumn. For example, they are Halloween and Thanksgiving. Halloween is
on the 31th of October. This is the day of fun. At night, children pretend to be witches and ghosts. They play
pranks on everyone. Thanksgiving comes the last Thursday in November. The whole nation gives thanks for good
harvest and generous gifts of Nature.
Speaker 3
I started to feel bad yesterday. I had a headache and my throat was sore. I stayed in bed all day. I had a
temperature of one hundred and three (Fahrenheit). My wife fixed hot lemonade but hat didn’t help me much.
The doctor said that my symptoms it was like a case of the “flu”.
Speaker 4
This summer we decided to go to the seashore by train. Luckily I got reservations for two lower berths. I called the
Pullman Office last week. No reservations were available, they told me. Yesterday, they notified me of two. I went
over to their office and picked them up right away.
Speaker 5
Christmas comes on the 25th of December. It’s our last holiday of the year and, perhaps, the most popular one. It is
believe that Santa Claus comes to see little children on this day. He puts gifts into their stockings and under the
Christmas tree. We always like being with our large ones on Christmas Day. We give presents to each other. To my
mind Christmas is the best holiday of the year.
