Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is coming. It's a traditional North American holiday, and is a form* of harvest festival. In the United States, the fourth Thursday in November is called Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving was about the Pilgrims (最初的移民), the first settlers(殖民者) in America. They shared* the first harvest with the Indians (印第安人) and gave thanks.
Thanksgiving Day is usually a family day. People always celebrate* with big dinners and happy reunions(重聚). Pumpkin pie and Indian pudding are traditional Thanksgiving desserts (甜点). Relatives (亲戚) from other cities, students who have been away at school, and many other Americans travel a long distance(距离) to spend the holiday at home.
On that day, Americans give thanks for the blessings (幸福的事) they have enjoyed during the year. And I am sure* that we all must have a lot to be thankful for. Maybe you would like to give thanks for being here with your family and for being well, or give thanks for a healthy year, a good job, or thank your friends for encouraging you when you are in dismay (沮丧), etc.

Many parts of the world have a day set aside just to give thanks. The date and the customs (风俗，习惯) may vary from country to country but the desire (渴望) to take time out to think of life’s blessings reminds the same. In the US, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November.
Thanksgiving is a traditional festival that started in 1621, soon after the first pilgrims arrived in the US to start a new life. After a hard year, they had a big autumn harvest. They held a feast (宴席) and invited the native (土著的) American Indians to thank God for giving them food. Thanksgiving has been celebrated ever since in the US.
It’s a time to think the people and things you’re thankful for. You can make a list of things you have. There are big things, like your family who love you, as well as friends, health and your abilities (才能). Move on to smaller things, like being top on an English test. While making the list, you will notice many people who have done nice things for you. Here are a few great ways to give thanks to the special people in your life:
Give the persons a hug (拥抱) and tell them why you are thankful to them.
Write a note and mail it.
Send an electronic greeting card (电子贺卡).
Leave sticky notes (即时贴) with messages of thanks.
