In most countries, people usually eat traditional food on special holidays. A special day in North America is Thanksgiving. In the United States, this festival is always on the fourth Thursday in November, but in Canada it falls on the second Monday in October. Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for food in the autumn and other good things people enjoy in life. Families see Thanksgiving as a time to get together and usually celebrate it with a big family meal. The main dish of this meal is almost always turkey, a large bird. To go with the turkey, people often prepare other things, such as gravy, cornbread, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin or apple pie.

Summary
Let's watch
a
video.
After watching a video
please think about the questions.
Li Ziqi
Li Ziqi, 30, from Pingwu in Sichuan
province, started her video blogs on
traditional food and crafts three years
ago after giving up city life to
return to the village where she was
raised by her grandparents.
来自四川平武,30岁的李子柒在三年前放弃城市生活回到了家乡,那是祖父母养育她的地方。她之后开始在博客上传有关传统食物和手工艺品的视频。
A woman from southwestern China whose YouTube video channel celebrating rural life is followed by nearly 7.5 million people has been hailed by state media for her role in promoting Chinese culture.
一位来自中国西南地区的Youtube女博主上传视频赞美乡村生活,获得了进750万粉丝的订阅。国家媒体称颂她“弘扬中华文化”。
“She displays a happy, rustic countryside life
and sends out positive engergy,” said one user.
“Watching her videos reduces my pressure
and makes me feel comfortable and relaxed.
The scenes in her videos are very beautiful.”
Another that official media failed to send out
appealing messages about Chinese culture, but Li's
videos did. “Whether you question her or not,
what she shows is traditional culture”, the user wrote.
“她展现出质朴快乐的乡村生活并传递了正能量。”
一名微博用户评到。 “她的视频让我感到解压、舒适、放松。
她拍摄的场景非常美。“另外一位用户说,对于中国文化,官方,
媒体没能传达出有吸引力的讯息,但是李的视频做到了。”
“不管你是否质疑,她所展现出来的就是传统文化。”
Enjoy some pictures
Everyone, especially young people, is playing a role in promoting Chinese culture.

1. In most countries, people usually eat traditional food on special
holidays.
1) 此处holiday表示“节日”而非“假期”的意思,指国家法定的公众性“节日;假日”。
再如:
Christmas is the most important holiday in Western countries.
圣诞节是西方国家最为重要的节日。
2)holiday也有“假期”之意。作这一方法时,多为英国英语,美国则用vacation一词。
例如:
Will you take a holiday next week
(=Will you take a vacation next week ) 美式英语 下周你休假吗?
The school holidays start tomorrow.
(= The school vacation starts tomorrow.) 美式英语 学校明天开始放假。

2. ...but in Canada it falls on the second MOnday in October.

3. Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for food in the autumn...
Families see Thanksgiving as a time to get together and ...
1) give thanks for... 表达对......的感谢
2) thanksgiving is a time to... 这两句话中time前面都加了冠词a,表示
做什么的实践,具体到了某一个节日或者时间段。后面的to give,
to get together不定时结构是对前面a time的补充说明。
3) see...as...把......看作、当作。相似的用法和结构还有consider...as...
regard...as... 例如:
My mother always considers me as a little child.
我妈妈总是把我当小孩子看。
I regard him as a friend. 我把他当朋友看。

3. Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for food in the autumn...
易错点
It is time to do sth 该做什么事情的时间到了。
Eg: It is time to go to bed. 该睡觉了。
Eg: It is time to have breakfast. 该吃早饭了。
同义替换的结构是It is time for sth, 如上面两个句子也可以说成:
It is time for bed.
It is time for breakfast.
注意: 在英语口语中会简化成time for...的形式, 例如:
Time for dinner.
Time for bed.
