All Saints’ Day, which falls on 1st November is regarded in the West as a festival.16Thanksgiving was first celebrated in 1621. The Pilgrims（早期移民） invited Native Americans（印第安人） for a three-day festival in gratitude for (庆祝) the successful harvest that followed a hard winter.Today’s traditional dinner contains turkey, mashed potatoes(土豆泥) and pumpkin Pie（南瓜派）.16 Thanksgiving was proclaimed(宣布) a national holiday by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863.April Fool’s Day
In Great Britain, tradition only allows April Fool’s stricks from midnight to noon on April 1st . Those who try to play tricks in the afternoon become the fools themselves.16Easter is originally the day to commemorate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.(复活节原是纪念耶酥复活的日子)For children, Easter eggs or chocolate eggs means more than anything else in Easter.16 People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, Father’s Day, on the third Sunday In June.16carnationHomework:
