Everyone in the world knows the Chinese tiger, the Indian elephant and the African lion. In America, everyone knows the Thanksgiving turkey. It's on the last Thursday in November. It's important to Americans the same as the Spring Festival is for us. The Thanksgiving turkey is a wild bird much larger than the chicken. When the American Indians helped the first Europeans find food for the first Thanksgiving meal, they brought turkeys because they were very usual. The farmers sell the turkeys to a processing plant(加工厂)that packages the bird to be sold at the supermarket. Mothers and grandmothers cook the turkey all morning for the Thanksgiving dinner. The turkey may be as large as 20 pounds or 10 kilos. One turkey can feed a very large family and still have some left over. When the turkey is cooked, the juice from the meat falls on bread to make it very delicious. There is always a fruit at the meal called cranberry. It grows in Alaska and has a bitter(有苦味的)taste so it's cooked with sugar. Vegetables include cooked corn, beans and sweet potatoes. There is a special kind of bread that is served called dinner rools(晚餐包). They're the size and shape of a small orange. The dinner ends with either apple pie or pumpkin pie.
Whether Americans travel throughout the world, this is the dinner they like to eat on Thanksgiving Day.
How can you combine (结合) games with English learning? The answer is Wordle! Wordle players must correctly guess a five-letter word with just six tries. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
A software engineer called Josh Wardle invented the game. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}Every midnight, Wordle refreshes its word of the day. For example, the answer for November 3rd is ALOUD.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}For example, if a letter is correct and in the right place, it turns green. If the letter is not in the word, it turns gray. If the letter is part of the word but in the wrong place, it turns yellow. These hints(提示) make the game into a puzzle (迷).
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}Every syllable (音节) in an English word includes at least one vowel (元音), so finding vowels is a useful method. For example, in the word "think", there is only one syllable and there is one vowel "i".
Several days ago, I played this game and found it very interesting. First, I guessed the word "table". Only "a" was green. Then, I guessed "maker" and the "r" turned yellow. In the end, I guessed "carry" and I was correct!
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}It's also an excellent tool to increase your English vocabulary. Why not have a try in your spare time?
A. As you guess, the game gives you hints. B. You either win by guessing it or lose because you run out of tries. C. Wordle is not just a perfect game to have fun. D. You need knowledge to win this game, not just luck. E. It has been popular with millions of players across the world. F. More and more people find it difficult and give up playing it. |
