Les niveaux de connaissance en langue ont été classés et définis par le Conseil de l'Europe. Cette norme européenne, appelée cadre européen commun de référence, est acceptée et reconnue dans tous les pays de l'Union Européenne. Elle détermine précisément les compétences que doit posséder l'apprenant pour communiquer dans certains contextes.
In the United States, Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday. It is on the fourth Thursday of November every year. This year Thanksgiving was on 23rd November. People don’t go to work on this day. They have a traditional Thanksgiving meal with their family in the evening. They eat roast turkey with cranberries and they have pumpkin pie for dessert.
There are festivals and parades on this day, especially on the east coast of America. In New York City there is a famous Thanksgiving Parade. It starts at nine o’clock and finishes at midday. There are hundreds of very big balloons. People dress up and they decorate the cars and buses.
The Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving, too. But it is on a different day. It is on the second Monday of October. Most Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving with a special dinner for family and friends. Like their American cousins, they usually have roast turkey and pumpkin pie.
