A week in America by Rizlène El Yazidi

A week in America

So this has been a week that we are here, in USA !
Actually, this week was full of surprises, discovery and joy. We have  
discovered another class system which is very cooler than the French  
one, pupils can eat, text, talk with each other and it's normal!  
Also, our Americans partners are all very nice; after the school we  
discovered their malls, their lovely big malls! However, I have made  
the experience of Black Friday which is mad, I thought that there will  
be more people but there were very good deal. After that, I have  
discovered an American mosque which is very pretty and big (like  
everything in America), so different than the French ones. Finally  
last night we were guest to a sleep over where we had lot of  
fun!!!Americans are very friendly and I really enjoy our trip here even  
if I miss France a little bit.

Rachel and Estelle's Thanksgiving dinner

Le Thanksgiving d'Estelle Elizagoïen

La famille Rodgers et moi sommes partis à Tulsa pour célébrer Thanksgiving. La ville est très grande et tout aussi dépaysante qu'Oklahoma city! Nous nous sommes rendus chez la tante de Rachel qui vit dans une très jolie maison. J'ai pu rencontrer les oncles, les tantes, les cousins et les cousines mais aussi les amis de la famille! Il y avait donc beaucoup de gens réunis autour de la table pour manger la quantité astronomique de nourriture. il y avait même une dinde tout en chocolat!

J'ai pu gouté la pumpkin pie, la sauce aux airelles et la dinde qui était délicieuse!

Nous avons passé la plupart de l'après-midi à table. Ensuite nous avons regardé un match de football américain, les règles sont vraiment incompréhensibles!!!

Finalement Thanksgiving fut une fȇte très chaleureuse et amicale. J'espère pouvoir recommencer l'année prochaine en France :)

News from Romain Julien

Here is some news from the USA,

Thursday was Thanksgiving in the USA it is a very important day for the Americans and most of them spend it with their family. It's exactly what I did, I went to the house of the grandparents and ate during a few hours with the whole family. Among various dishes I tasted pumpkin pie and sweet-potato pie which are a tradition at Thanksgiving and I liked both of them. Friday is also very famous because it is The Black Friday, during this day the stores are open from midnight and there are huge sales. All Americans go for shopping but I also went to see fire works and it was really beautiful. In the evening, a party was organized at Amanda's house and we had a lot of fun with most of the French and Americans of the exchange!

To conclude, the Thanksgiving weekend is a way for the Americans to gather their family, to eat and to entertain!
