Every country has its own culture, holidays and traditions! Americans are very patriotic.\\xa0

It is important to understand American culture, holidays and traditions if you want to speak English fluently!

If you experience only one holiday in the USA, it should be the 4th of July.

It\\u2019s a big deal - it marks the 13 colonies\\u2019 independence from Britain.
