🎯 Goal for this 30 minute chat

Talk about important holidays and celebrations in your culture and in Canada. Share how you celebrate with family and friends — food, music, games, and special customs. You can describe big holidays (like New Year’s, Christmas, Eid, or Lunar New Year) and smaller traditions from your home. You can also compare holidays in Canada with holidays in your country, and talk about any new celebrations you have learned about here.
