(резерв)

Please, read the text about Thanksgiving Day on your white cards. And then read out some new information.

Thanksgiving Day is on the last Tuesday in November. It is an American holiday. Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday, so most people don’t go to work. The families come together for a special dinner. They eat turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pies, nuts, beans, corn bread and sauce made from cranberries. After dinner people relax, talk and watch a football game on TV. Football is the most popular game on the day. Usually there are several football games to watch on TV.

Every Thanksgiving Day there is a very big parade in New York City. Santa Claus arrives at the end. His coming marks the beginning of the Christmas season.

Shops, classrooms and homes are decorated with turkeys, pilgrims, Indians, flowers and vegetables.

Thanksgiving Day started over 380 years ago with Pilgrims. 1620 one hundred Pilgrims came to America from England. They came on board the “Mayflower”. The first winter the Pilgrims were hungry, sick and cold. Their life was difficult and full of danger. But the Native Americans helped the Pilgrims. They taught the Pilgrims to plant corn, to build houses, to hunt.

In the autumn of 1621 the Pilgrims had their first harvest. It was rather good. The Pilgrims decided to have a special dinner. They had a thanksgiving dinner for all the people. It lasted three days. They thanked the Native Americans for their help.

The Pilgrims – a first small group of people who came to America many years ago for religious freedom.
