Do you know Singles Day (November 11) in China? Many people, even your parents,
go to bed late that night. They were shopping online to get big savings (省钱). Well, the US has something like it called Black Friday.
Black Friday is the Friday after
Thanksgiving. It is on November 27 this year. It is one of the biggest shopping
days in the US. People want to start shopping for Christmas gifts, so they go shopping
on this day to save money.
It's called Black Friday because
shops used to record (记录) sales with black ink (墨水). So when there was a lot of black ink on a page, the shop sold a lot.
On Black Friday, people go shopping
at actual stores (实体店). It is different from Singles
Day. People stand in line (排队) for hours. Sometimes they
fight over things because there are only a few left. TVs, computers and video game
systems are some of people's favourite things to buy.
