An Unforgettable Thanksgiving Day
“Mom,is it okay if I invite a few of the classmates for Thanksgiving ”asked my son Evan. Evan had been a senior high school student for two years. The school he attends is a challenging school and is strict with students but Evan did well and he had changed a lot. We were very grateful that our son had learned not only to tidy up, but to shine everything. Most importantly, he became more outgoing.
But with all the strict rules and hard work, the students there were also forming lifelong friendships. It was a practice that those unable to go home for the holidays would find a welcoming place at the table in the home of any of their friends. We'd hosted Evan's roommates last year and looked forward to meeting new guests this Thanksgiving.
“Oh,one thing,Mom,”Evan continued. “These guys are exchange students. They would be Tim from Thailand,Kanok and Patrick from Mexico and Costel from Canada.They couldn't eat their traditional dishes at school.So you'd better cook some special dishes for them.I know you are good at cuisine（烹饪）.”
Indeed, I did delicious dishes and I was very excited about the international dishes we'd have at our dinner table.What dishes would I cook for these special visitors They'd probably love a traditional turkey. But...what are their traditional dishes I love to cook, so this was an excuse to takeout my wide variety of cook books, to do a little research on the favorite foods of these three faraway lands.
I decided to roast a turkey, and found several traditional dishes of Mexico and Canada. The only traditional dish of Thaland that I thought I could have a try at was some thing called foufou. I told Evan about it, who checked in with his friend Tim. “Tim is crazy about foufou,Mom! You have to make it! Tim also said he could help you if you needed.”
So Turkey Day morning found me busy in the kitchen.The last dish I cooked was foufou. I followed the steps to prepare foufou and finally placed it on the stove（火炉）to cook for ten minutes.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
At this time, I heard Evan's excited voice, so I went out of the kitchen._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Just as I talked with Tim, I smelt something burning in the kitchen!_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

At this time, I heard Evan's excited voice, so I went out of the kitchen. It was our new guests who had arrived. I was very happy to welcome them in.They were also very polite to greet me and wish me a happy holiday. They all thanked me very much for cooking their traditional foods and for understanding their customs. Tim, in particular, who is obsessed with foufou said he hadn't had it for a long time and that he could help me.
Just as I talked with Tim, I smelt something burning in the kitchen! Only then did I think of foufou in the kitchen,which could only be cooked for ten minutes on the stove.By the time I felt the kitchen, the last course was a mess. But I didn't have time to start over.They were very sorry,but they were very grateful that I could cook something for them. So,my son, his friends and I had an unforgettable and wonderful Thanksgiving Day,

An Unforgettable Thanksgiving Day
“Mom,is it okay if I invite a few of the classmates for Thanksgiving ”asked my son Evan. Evan had been a senior high school student for two years. The school he attends is a challenging school and is strict with students but Evan did well and he had changed a lot. We were very grateful that our son had learned not only to tidy up, but to shine everything. Most importantly, he became more outgoing.
But with all the strict rules and hard work, the students there were also forming lifelong friendships. It was a practice that those unable to go home for the holidays would find a welcoming place at the table in the home of any of their friends. We'd hosted Evan's roommates last year and looked forward to meeting new guests this Thanksgiving.
“Oh,one thing,Mom,”Evan continued. “These guys are exchange students. They would be Tim from Thailand,Kanok and Patrick from Mexico and Costel from Canada.They couldn't eat their traditional dishes at school.So you'd better cook some special dishes for them.I know you are good at cuisine（烹饪）.”
Indeed, I did delicious dishes and I was very excited about the international dishes we'd have at our dinner table.What dishes would I cook for these special visitors They'd probably love a traditional turkey. But...what are their traditional dishes I love to cook, so this was an excuse to takeout my wide variety of cook books, to do a little research on the favorite foods of these three faraway lands.
I decided to roast a turkey, and found several traditional dishes of Mexico and Canada. The only traditional dish of Thaland that I thought I could have a try at was some thing called foufou. I told Evan about it, who checked in with his friend Tim. “Tim is crazy about foufou,Mom! You have to make it! Tim also said he could help you if you needed.”
So Turkey Day morning found me busy in the kitchen.The last dish I cooked was foufou. I followed the steps to prepare foufou and finally placed it on the stove（火炉）to cook for ten minutes.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
At this time, I heard Evan's excited voice, so I went out of the kitchen._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Just as I talked with Tim, I smelt something burning in the kitchen!_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It is a time to honor and pay their respects to the dead and the dearly departed as well as one's deceased ancestors and family members.

第二节 One possible version：
At this time, I heard Evan's excited voice, so I went out of the kitchen. It was our new guests who had arrived. I was very happy to welcome them in.They were also very polite to greet me and wish me a happy holiday. They all thanked me very much for cooking their traditional foods and for understanding their customs. Tim, in particular, who is obsessed with foufou said he hadn't had it for a long time and that he could help me.
Just as I talked with Tim, I smelt something burning in the kitchen! Only then did I think of foufou in the kitchen,which could only be cooked for ten minutes on the stove.By the time I felt the kitchen, the last course was a mess. But I didn't have time to start over.They were very sorry,but they were very grateful that I could cook something for them. So,my son, his friends and I had an unforgettable and wonderful Thanksgiving Day,
