What do American children think of Thanksgiving? This is  two of them wrote.

    Once we were at my grandparents' home at Thanksgiving and we went to the store (get)a turkey,  they didn't have any, so we had to get a live one. When we went to kill it, it had gone! There was nothing left except feathers(羽毛). That year we had to eat chicken instead  turkey.

You can stay at home with your family and have fun with . Thanksgiving is one of the most important (holiday) in the USA. The first Thanksgiving was in 1621. Each year, it is on the (four) Thursday of November. On that day there are always parades and hot balloons.
