Emily: Hey Carlos, do you celebrate New Year's Eve in your country?
Carlos: Yes, we do! It's a big deal in Mexico. How about you, Emily?
Emily: Oh, definitely! In the United States, New Year's Eve is celebrated with parties, fireworks, and countdowns.
Carlos: That sounds similar to how we celebrate it here. We have fireworks too and gather with family and friends for a big dinner.
Emily: That's nice! In the US, people often make New Year's resolutions, like setting goals for the upcoming year.
Carlos: Interesting! We don't do that here, but it sounds like a good idea. What about Halloween? Is it popular in the US?
Emily: Yes, it's huge! People dress up in costumes, go trick-or-treating, and decorate their houses with spooky decorations.
Carlos: Wow, that sounds like a lot of fun! In Mexico, we also celebrate Halloween, but we call it "Día de los Muertos" or Day of the Dead. It's a time to remember and honor loved ones who have passed away.
Emily: That's fascinating! I've heard of Day of the Dead. It's amazing how different cultures have their own unique ways of celebrating similar holidays.
Carlos: Absolutely! And what about Valentine's Day? Is it popular in the US?
Emily: Yes, it's a big day for romance! People exchange cards, flowers, and chocolates to express their love and affection for each other.
Carlos: That sounds lovely! We also celebrate Valentine's Day in Mexico, but it's not as extravagant. Couples might go out for a nice dinner or exchange small gifts.
Emily: It's interesting to see how these global festivities are celebrated differently around the world, yet they all share the same spirit of joy and celebration.
Carlos: Definitely! It's one of the things I love most about learning about different cultures.
