The first Thanksgiving was in 1621. Each year, we celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November. What do American children think of Thanksgiving? This is what some of them wrote.
Thanksgiving is a holiday to say “Thank you”. It means eating turkey and having a special party with your family.
Thanksgiving is giving thanks to people that help you. I think it is a special holiday. You give thanks to your family and your friends.
Annie
Lots of people have done things for me that I like. Lots of people like to make me happy, like my mum.
Many people have done things for me and make sure I am all right. I am pleased(高兴的)that people care about me.
Most people I know give me money or presents at Thanksgiving. Sometimes people take me to visit places or ask me to their houses.
I like to do nice things for other people. Also I hope people help me when I get old.
Jeremy
Once we were at my grandparents’ house during Thanksgiving and we went to the store to buy a turkey, but they didn’t have any, so we had to buy a live(活的)one. When we went out to kill(杀)it, it had gone! There was nothing left except feathers(羽毛). That year we had to eat chicken instead of (代替)turkey.
Eleanor
I’m thankful for having a really good mum who looks after me so well and having good teachers and especially(特别地)Ms. McMillan because she helps to try new things. I love all my family.

English people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. In fact, people all around the world do so. It’s a very good habit.
You should say “thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table or opens the door for you, or say you have done your homework well. “Thank you” is used not only between friends but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives.
“Excuse me” is another useful short expression. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know he or she wants to walk past you without touching you.
