Thanksgiving Day comes on the 4-th Thursday in November. It’s a legal holiday celebrated throughout the USA. Special religious services are held in the morning. Thanksgiving is a special day for families to get together for a big dinner and give thanks for different things. They usually do it this way: ''I give thanks for being here with my family and for being well. I give thanks for a healthy year, a good study, and for meeting my new friends.''

The Story of Thanksgiving In 1620, a group of people, the Pilgrims, left Plymouth England for religious freedom.There were 102 people on the ship, called the Mayflower. They wanted to start a new life in America and practice their religion in freedom. They landed at a place, which they called New England, on the north-east coast of America in December. They were far from their home, and life was hard. They had little food and knew little about their new home. Their first winter was very cold and many of them became sick and die.

Слайд 11

However, the Native Americans (Indians) who lived there gave them a hand. They taught the Pilgrims how to grow corn, fish, hunt for food and how to survive in America. They showed the pilgrims how to build better houses. The Pilgrims worked hard and the harvest grew well. By November 1621, they all had food and a home. The Pilgrims decided to thank the Native Americans and invited them to a big dinner. The dinner lasted for three days. They gave thanks for the good harvest and their happy year in a new country. Wild turkeys were on the table of this meal and since then the turkey has become a symbol of Thanksgiving Day. This dinner was the first Thanksgiving.
