Lantern Festival
Now let me tell you the second festival I like. Please listen carefully.
Thanksgiving Day is on the fourth Thursday of November in America. We celebrate the harvest. At this time, people also remember the first travelers from England who came to live in about 400 years ago. We eat turkey, sweet potatoes, corn and pumpkin pie. We play games and tell jokes. People travel long distances to be with their families. It is a time to give thanks for the good things in life, especially family and friends.

Mid-autumn Festival is on August 15th in Chinese lunar calendar. It is a harvest festival in China. The celebration became popular during the early Tang Dynasty.
