Two months ago, every app on my phone wanted me to know "11/11" was coming. I asked a friend 1it was a special holiday.
She laughed and said it's a 2 holiday. "It's just like Black Friday," she explained. After getting the answer, I actually hoped she was 3.
As we know, Black Friday is the day 4 Thanksgiving in the United States. For me, Thanksgiving is the 5 US holiday. It's a holiday that does not need us to take part in any rush for goods. Yes, we should buy turkeys, the traditional food on this special day. And we also invite friends and family to6. Usually each person cooks a different dish and brings it to the big 7. It's a day to be 8 not for turkeys, but for the people we care about.
Black Friday is the next day. Starting around 4 a.m., thousands of people crowd 9 of stores and malls. When the doors open, they rush into the stores. What are they doing?
On Black Friday, many things are on 10. But if you don't pay for them quickly, they will be sold out soon. As a result, it's "11" for people to "fight" with each other for cheap TVs and computers—even toilet paper! In less than 24 hours, many people 12 the peace of Thanksgiving. Instead, they become crazy consumers(消费者).
13 for "11/11", I opened Taobao to look for winter clothes in advance(提前). Two hours later, I found 14a crazy consumer too. 15 I didn't fight in the crowded stores, I got lost among all kinds of goods and kept buying things I didn't really need. Maybe my friend is right in some way, "11/11" is like Black Friday.
