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.
Hoa: I like Simon's films. Who stars in it?
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...
