感恩节

The fourth Thursday of November is American Thanksgiving Day. It's a holiday in the US. Usually, family members and friends get together for a dinner. American Thanks-giving Day began in 1621. When the first English settlers reached the New World in 1620, they did not have enough food. But the American Indians helped the white men and taught them how to farm. The next year, in autumn, they had a good harvest. They were so happy. They thanked Indian friends for their help and thanked God.

    Hello, I'm Lily. I'm in Shenzhen now. Shenzhen is a big city. It's very beautiful too. But it was a small village then.

    The streets in Shenzhen were old and dirty then. Now they are very new and clean. The parks were small then. Now they are big. Shenzhen is changing（改变）. I like Shenzhen very much.

    My name is Sam. My birthday is on July 25th. On that day my friends came to my family and had a big birthday party for me. My mother made a birthday cake for me in the morning. It's big and tasty. My father gave me a football because I like playing football. My friends gave me a lot of presents and some birthday cards. We sang and danced. We ate food and fruit. We played games together. We had a good time.
