  • Welcome back to weekly words. My name is Alisha and we are going to talk about a holiday today.

  • So let's check it out. Today's holiday is Independence Day.

  • Independence Day for the United States is July 4th, the 4th of July every year is Independence

  • Day and we celebrate it with fireworks, the national anthem, often times a parade, sometimes

  • well, I would say almost always there is a celebration of the military as well included

  • in this day. In a sentence, Independence Day is a great time to have a Barbeque.

  • The next phrase here is the declaration of independence. So the declaration of independence

  • I am told was not actually signed on the 4th but it was adopted on the 4th. It was signed

  • on July 2nd and it was adopted on the 4th. Thank you history lecture. Okay the United

  • States of America became an independent country. So this document is the thing that separated

  • the United States from Britain from control. In a sentence, the declaration of independence

  • is a very, very important document in American history.

  • The next phrase is the American Revolution. So this took place between 1765 and 1783.

  • So during this period of time, America's 13 original colonies, 13 original colonies

  • which are now yeah on the east side of the US, there were fights and well, it was a revolution

  • between people who wanted independence within the American colonies and the British who

  • obviously wanted to maintain control. In a sentence, the American Revolution inspired

  • other revolutions including the French revolution.

  • Okay the next word is Barbeque. Barbeque is in this list because it's a very, very popular

  • thing to do on Independence Day in the states. People will get together with friends and

  • family in Barbeque meat, Barbeque hotdogs and do whole cookout. Barbeque can be used

  • as a verb for grilling meats or grilling vegetables. Barbeque also refers to a style of partying.

  • In a sentence, I am having a Barbeque at my house on Independence Day this year, would

  • you like to come?

  • The next word is Fireworks. Fireworks are common, very, very common on Independence

  • Day. I think it's the one day of the year actually in the US when we do use Fireworks

  • as part of our celebration. Fireworks of course are the large sparks that go into the sky

  • at night time and make these you know beautiful designs that look like flowers or maybe you

  • know heart symbols, something like that. So we celebrate with them on the evening of Independence

  • Day. There are often Fireworks celebrations in communities or on the smaller scale maybe

  • your family gets you know sparklers that's just you know fire on a stick essentially,

  • it's very safe. In a sentence, I always love watching the fireworks with my family

  • on Independence Day. There were these little packs that you can get from the supermarket

  • that had you know like 20 or so different fireworks and my dad would set it up in the

  • driveway and we'd light them in the middle, I will stand back and we go phew! Phew! Phew!

  • And like gradually die down and we go okay and then dad would set up another one and

  • my brother and I would run around on the sparklers. Keep trying right things with it but it always

  • failed.

  • That's the end. So those are some words that you might find useful around Independence

  • Day. If you find yourself in the United States during Independence Day, these are some things

  • that you can look forward to. Maybe your country has an Independence Day. If so, tell us about

  • how you celebrate your country's Independence Day in the comments. Thanks very much for

  • joining us this week and we will see you again next time, bye. Boom!
