〜4th of July〜

　Last time I talked to you about summer vacation. Today I want to talk to you about a special summer holiday. That holiday is the 4th of July. What is 4th of July？
　4th of July is a special day. It's on July 4th (4th of July). But why is it special？ Because July 4th is America's birthday. On July 4th 1776 America became a new country. This is America's old flag when America became a country. When America became a country, it was only this big. It was very small. So happy birthday America.
　In America we have many activities to celebrate 4th of July. One activity is bbq(barbecue), we love bbq. In America when we bbq, we go to the park, or sometimes you can do it at home. We bbq with our family and our friends. It's very fun. We cook hamburgers and hot dogs and eat a lot. It's very delicious. And while cook and while we eat, we listen to music, play games like sports and talk with each other. It's a very fun time.
　This is me and my family. We had a bbq last year. This is me, and all my uncles and aunts and all of my other family.
　We also do fireworks. Do you do fireworks in Japan？ I think they're beautiful. We have many different type of fireworks. Some people have small fireworks. They can do fireworks at home. Do you do fireworks in summers？
　This is me at my uncle's house. We had a fireworks party on July 4th. It was very fun. I can relax with my family
　But we also have very big firework shows. Sometimes you can see it anywhere in the city. People love fireworks on the 4th of July. Sometime, please come to America and let's celebrate America's birthday together.
