BLACK FRIDAY

video activity

https://youtu.be/MRvEl0z2TxU

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving.

It is the first day of the Christmas shopping season. In the U.S. many stores have big sales on Black Friday and a lot of people get really excited about shopping on this day.

Many stores open at 12:01 a.m. on Friday morning.

Not everyone thinks this is a good idea. Some people say it isn’t good because it interrupts Thanksgiving dinner and family time; some people get really excited about Black Friday.

They love the chance to save a lot of money on Christmas presents for their friends and family.

People even camp outside the store, so they will be the first inside when it opens.

Occasionally shoppers get too excited on Black Friday: people become aggressive and push each other out of the way…sometimes people fight with other shoppers and get hurt.

Personally I think it is a little scary to go shopping on Black Friday…the stores are packed with excited shoppers..it is aloud and it can be a little scary.

I think I will shop online..that way I can relax and not have to worry about the crowds.

I’ll probably wait for a few days after Black Friday this year.

I just don’t like big crowds of crazy shoppers……

Do you know why it’s called Black Friday? It got the name because many stores finally start making a profit for the year from this day.

When a business is making money, we say it is “in the black”.

Stores are finally in the black.
