    Thanksgiving is a family holiday in autumn in Canada and the USA. In Canada, Thanksgiving is in October. In the USA, it is in November. On Thanksgiving, people have a big dinner with their family. They usually eat roast turkey and other delicious food. They also tell Thanksgiving stories and give thanks to their friends and families.

    In China, we also have a family holiday in autumn. It is Mid-Autumn Festival. People get together with their families to have a big dinner, too. They eat mooncakes, talk happily and enjoy looking at the beautiful round moon. Mooncakes are round like the full moon. Some people cannot go back home, but they can look at the moon and think about their families.

    Hello! I'm Lucy. I'm from America. But I live in China. I have many friends in China, too. Today is China's National Day. And it is my birthday too. I get up early and clean my room. Amy, John, and Sarah will come to my home. We have a birthday party. I know next month is Amy's birthday. John's birthday is in December. Sarah's birthday is on January 1st.

    After autumn, winter is coming. It's very cold and snowy. The days are short and the nights are long. We have much time to sleep. I like this season very much, because I like snow. We can make snowmen and have snowball fights together. It is very interesting. Look! It is snowing outside. All the students are very excited. Some boys are making snowballs. David's snowball is bigger. Jim's snowball is smaller. So David wins the fights. He is very happy.
