LISTENING TRANSCRIPTION
UNIT 9
Hello everyone. I'm Mark. Today I'm going to talk about Thanksgiving, or Turkey Day. It's a national
holiday. People from Canada and the USA celebrate it every year to be thankful for successful harvests. In
the USA, we celebrate it on the fourth Thursday of November. We usually prepare a feast for family and
friends. Both adults and children take part in the food preparation. Some of the traditional foods are turkey,
sweet potatoes, and cornbread. After the meal, we play board games together. My family usually takes this
opportunity to help others. My parents volunteer to cook and serve food to homeless people. My sister and I
read books to old people in a nursing home near our house.
UNIT 8
Hoa: Mark, what film did you see last week?
Mark: Naughty Twins. It's a comedy and its director is Nancy Simon.

Mark: Linda Brown and Susan Smith.
Hoa: They're well-known actresses. What is it about?
Mark: It's about two naughty girls. Although they are twins, they don't grow up together after their parents'
marriage ends.
Hoa: What happens next?
Mark: The twins meet each other for the first time at a summer camp. They make a plan to bring their
parents back together. And then many funny things happen.
Hoa: Did it receive good reviews?
Mark: Yes, most people say it's a must-see for young people because it's funny and moving. The acting and
music are excellent, too...
