It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. It is a time for a special dinner among family and friends. People make short speeches and give thanks for their food. We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter. The local people, the Native Americans, taught the pioneers how to grow corn. The following year they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food. We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is always the most crowded room in our house because we all help prepare the food. We lay the table, and then before we begin dinner, my father gives thanks for the food, so we remember why we celebrate the festival. We usually eat too much, but it is only once a year! We often talk a lot and tell stories after dinner as well. When it is all over, everyone helps wash the dishes. The festival is a very busy time for travel when friends and families come together to celebrate. During the festival, there are plenty of other things to see and do. We live in New York City, and we go to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The parade goes along several streets and finishes at the famous Macy's store. Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas season, and we start shopping for presents. Football is also important at Thanksgiving, with many teams playing games. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and enjoy ourselves very much. 6. When is Thanksgiving celebrated in the US? A. On 1st October B. On 4th July C.

Their family members in England D. The people from Shandong Province 8. Why is the kitchen the most crowded room on Thanksgiving? A. Because many friends come to visit B.

The pioneers had an easy first winter in America D. People don't travel during Thanksgiving C Different countries have different ways to celebrate important festivals. These festivals not only carry cultural meanings but also bring people together. In Mexico, the Day of the Dead is a special festival that usually falls on 1st and 2nd November. It is a time to remember family members who have passed away. People build colorful altars at home and put photos of their loved ones, favorite food and drinks on them. They also visit cemeteries and decorate the graves with flowers. Contrary to what many people think, this festival is not a sad one. Instead, it is a joyful celebration of life and memories. In India, Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is one of the most important festivals. It usually lasts for five days in October or November. People light up their homes with oil lamps and colorful lights to welcome the goddess of wealth. They also exchange gifts and sweets with family and friends, and set off fireworks at night.

They help us pass down traditions from one generation to the next and strengthen the bond between family and friends. However, the way we celebrate festivals has changed a lot over the years. In the past, festivals were mainly about family gatherings and traditional activities. For example, people would cook traditional food at home, visit relatives and tell stories about the history of the festival. But now, with the development of technology and the fast pace of life, many people prefer to celebrate festivals in different ways. Some choose to travel abroad during holidays, while others like to have a big dinner in a restaurant instead of cooking at home. Another change is that many festivals have become more commercialized. For instance, during Christmas or Thanksgiving, shops and supermarkets will start big sales weeks before the festival. People spend more time shopping for presents than doing traditional activities. Some people worry that this will make us forget the true meaning of festivals. But others believe that new ways of celebrating can also make festivals more interesting and lively. 16. What is the main function of festivals according to the passage? A. To make people spend more money B. To pass down traditions and strengthen family bonds C.
