What do you know about Thanksgiving Day
感恩节的由来
1620年 “五月花号”船满载受宗教迫害的清教徒到达美洲。当年冬天,他们遇到了难以想象的困难。印第安人给移民送来了生活必需品,并教他们怎样狩猎、捕鱼和种植农作物。在印第安人的帮助下,移民获得了丰收。在欢庆丰收的日子,移民规定了感谢上帝的日子,并为感谢印第安人的真诚帮助,邀他们一同庆祝。

What are the people celebrating
Pre-reading
1. Work in pairs. Talk about the picture.
On Thanksgiving, people have a special dinner among family and friends.
People make short speeches and give thanks for their food.
We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter. The local people, the Native Americans, taught the pioneers how to grow corn. The following year they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food.
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is an American festival. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. It is a time for a special dinner among family and friends. People make short speeches and give thanks for their food.
While-reading
Read the passage.
We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is always the most crowded room in our house because we all help prepare the food. We lay the table, and then before we begin dinner, my father gives thanks for the food, so we remember why we celebrate the festival. We usually eat too much, but it is only once a year! We often talk a lot and tell stories after dinner as well. When it is all over, everyone helps wash the dishes.
The festival is a very busy time for travel when friends and families come together to celebrate. During the festival, there are plenty of other things to see and do. We live in New York City, and we go to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The parade goes along several streets and finishes at the famous Macy’s store. Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas season, and we start shopping for presents. Football is also important at Thanksgiving, with many teams playing games. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and enjoy ourselves very much.

2. give thanks for 的用法
People make short speeches and give thanks for their food.
eg.
Give thanks for your food, and the joy of living.
对赖以生存的食物和生活中的喜悦心怀感恩吧。
give thanks (to sb.) for (doing sth.)表示“对某事/某人做了某事表示感谢”,这里thanks用作名词。give也可以换成其他动词。
She expressed her thanks to her friends for coming to the party.
她对朋友们来参加聚会表示感谢。
3. since 的用法
We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century.
since “自从……”,可引导时间状语从句(过去时态),主句常与完成时连用
eg.
