Black Friday

Black Friday 

Black Friday is the day after the American holiday Thanksgiving, which is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. Black Friday is famous because it is the start of the Christmas shopping season. On this day, many stores offer big discounts on products, and people buy a lot of gifts for family and friends.

The name “Black Friday” has an interesting history. In the 1960s, police in Philadelphia used this name to describe the day after Thanksgiving because the streets were very busy and crowded. Many people went shopping, and there were traffic jams, long lines, and chaos in the stores. Later, store owners gave another explanation. Most stores make losses (“in the red”) during the year, but Black Friday helps them make a profit (“in the black”).

Over time, Black Friday became more popular. Stores started to open earlier in the morning or even at midnight to attract more customers. In recent years, online shopping became very important. Many people buy products online instead of going to stores.

Black Friday is not the only shopping day in November. After Black Friday, there is Small Business Saturday, which encourages people to buy in small local shops. Then comes Cyber Monday, when online stores have big discounts. Together, these days help stores sell many products before Christmas.

Black Friday is popular in many countries now, not just in the USA. However, some people think that Black Friday is too stressful or encourages people to buy too much. Others like it because they can save money and buy gifts for less.

 Weather Forecast

Good morning and welcome to the world weather forecast.

In Spain, it is sunny and the sky is bright. The air is hot and dry, so remember to drink water.

In the United Kingdom, it is cloudy and soon there will be a shower. Sometimes it is raining, so people need an umbrella. The ground is wet.

In Germany, the sky is overcast. The wind will blow and in the evening, there will be a storm with lightning and thunder.

In Russia, it is snowing. There is a lot of snow and ice, and the roads are dangerous because it is slippery. At night, it’s freezing and the weather is very cold.

In China, the morning started with fog – it is foggy, but later the weather will be clear again.

In Brazil, the weather is very different: it is windy, but also very hot.

So, what is the weather like today? In some countries it is sunny, in others it is cloudy, sometimes it is snowing or raining.
