1. Is the United States an old country with old traditions or a young country with old and new traditions?
2. What do Americans like?
3. What holidays do only Americans celebrate?
4. When do Americans celebrate Memorial Day?

The United States is a young country. In fact, sometimes people call it the “New World”. Americans like new ideas. They built the first skyscrapers, they put the first man on the moon. But Americans love old things too. They like to visit museums, they like old traditions. The people of the United States are in fact people from many different countries. In one city you can find people whose parents, grandparents or great-grandparents came from Africa, South America and Europe. These people brought to their new home their traditions. There are new American festivals and traditions too. Only Americans celebrate Thanksgiving and Memorial Day. People celebrate Memorial Day on the last Monday of May. This day is for people to remember those who died in wars.
