BLACK FRIDAY
You probably know about Singles Day (November 11) in China. On this day, people usually stay up very late at night to shop online in order to a lot of money. Well, the US has something similar called Black Friday.
Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving. Last year it fellNovember 29th. It's the start of the holiday shopping season and most people don't have to go to work that day. So they start to think about what gifts they want tofor Christmas.
While Singles Day is usually for online, a lot of shopping on Black Friday is done at actual stores. Shoppers look for things especially on electronic products, as televisions, computers and video game systems. These things usually haveprices, but on this day, a few of them are sold at the very low sale prices. So people often fight over these things.
Some people will in line for hours before midnight when stores finally open. People camp out in the cold and sometimes get hurt the doors are opened and people rush in.
, lately a few stores will start sales even earlier on Thanksgiving Day. They do this to hopefully get shoppers and stay ahead of the competition.
