| Studying American English with the Hollywood Tutor can be fun. |
Exercise 1: Practice
saying the names of the Holidays aloud.
Exercise 2: Write a
sentence about your holiday experiences.
Remember
even though it’s an American... Holiday you still cannot park in a Disabled
Parking spot or a red zone or a crosswalk or run a red light or roll through a
stop sign or speed past a motorcycle officer or drive drunk. But you don’t have
to put money in that meter in front of the Coffee Bean.
