Ｈａｐｐｙ Ｔｈａｎｋｓｇｉｖｉｎｇ！感恩节快乐！

蒋连琼

万圣节还没有走远，感恩节(11月27日)又快到了！

Thanksgiving is a big festival in the US and Canada. It is on the fourth Thursday in November. There is a lot to eat on Thanksgiving Day! Yum ...

Turkey 火鸡

Turkey is the main dish (主菜). So we also call Thanksgiving “Turkey Day”.

大家通常早早就开始为大餐做准备。

First, we buy a turkey and clean it. Then we make the stuffing (填充物). The stuffing is usually bread and herbs （香草）. 把好吃的填充物塞进火鸡里，就可以开始烤了！

Side dish 配菜

What else do we eat? We have sweet pumpkin pies (南瓜派). 土豆泥也是感恩节餐桌上的一个“主角”。And fruit! Its a time for grapes, pears, oranges and apples.

Wishbone 许愿骨

Kids can play a game after the meal. 火鸡里有一块“V”字形的骨头。We call it a wishbone.

Mom or Dad takes the bone（骨头） from the turkey. Two kids pull the bone apart (扯开). 谁扯下的那块骨头更长呢？You can make a wish!

Good meal manners 聚餐礼仪

So much to eat on Turkey Day! Want to share（分享） with your friends? But do you know how to be a good host (主人) or guest (客人)?

For the host

Try to make your guests feel at home.

Introduce (介绍) everyone. Talk to them.

For the guest

Take a small gift. Be on time (准时). If you dontlike the food, just smile.
