The second great summer outing for most Americans is the day we celebrate winning our freedom from the British Empire. After the War of Independence, the United States could govern itself as a separate entity and no longer was subject to rule by the King of England or liable for taxes or other tariffs imposed by the “mother country”. These days, Americans generally celebrate with outdoor bar-b-cue parties and plenty of fireworks. Of course, our fireworks display don’t begin to compare with those we can witness at Tsuchiura, but we have plenty of fun and often churn ice cream in old fashioned tubs. Sometimes we have silly games like pie eating contests or watermelon seed spitting contests. This is an official holiday and if it falls on the weekend, the Friday before the 4th will be a holiday for most employees or the Monday following. This is another one of our “long weekends” when we relax and enjoy our family and friends.

2.02.08 » WHY I STUDY ENGLISH

I’m a nurse, and I often meet foreign patients in my hospital. I want to understand them and make them more relaxed. I think English is the most widely used language in the world. I want to make use of English in my job. That’s why I began to study English in this class.
