Monologue: What Shall I Take With Me?
My roommate's family wants me to spend Thanksgiving Day with them. I accept the invitation, and I'm excited. But I'm a little nervous about it, too. The social customs in my country are very different from the customs here. So I'm a little worried about making mistakes. Should I bring a gift, such as some candies or flowers?
