- Today in this English lesson
this English conversation

- Sure, well, just a
little bit of background

about what's going on
in our life right now.

The day after Thanksgiving
is called Black Friday

because so many people go
shopping for Christmas gifts,

and there's just all
sorts of mayhem and chaos,

but we have to get our gifts
a little bit early this year

- We're doing something
a little bit different

which is something that
we tried last year,

and this is where a group
of people come together,

and everyone has to buy
a gift for someone else,

but you don't know who
is getting your gift,

We did this last year when we
went on vacation to Florida,

- I really enjoyed it because I feel like

and it was just nice
to have an opportunity

to really think about her and think about

what she would like and buy
all of these presents for her.

around the same time that
your mom became a nurse,

and there might have been
another thing or two,

versus trying to think about
five, or 10, or 15 people,

you know, try to budget how
much to spend on each of them.

- It was helpful, too, because
everyone was traveling.

so they couldn't take a lot
of things back with them.

- But they did try to
bring a lot of presents,

especially for the kids
for Thomas and Emma

because they weren't
part of the gift draw,

- Yeah, that's right,
you can't tell everyone.

- Yeah, if you're watching
this after Christmas

because we can leave a
comment telling people

- Yeah, and last year, I'll
actually just show this.

- I don't know can you
see the logo in there?

That's the To Fluency
logo and that's Jack.

an artist near where she
lives and it's really cool.

- Is that your favorite present
that you've gotten recently?

- I think so, yeah, well, we just decided

that I'm going to forget
what people got me,

- Jack, you remember all the
presents that I've gotten you.

So I think it's evident that
you really like getting gifts.
